Kyocera has brought out a line of integrated thin film (ITF) hybrid couplers for high-frequency wireless systems in industrial, automotive, telecommunications, and telemetry applications. Hybrid couplers are special four-port directional couplers that split input signals into two equal-amplitude 3dB outputs whose phases are shifted by 90°. Many also support performance monitoring and inject signals without interrupting the original signal. The ...
The substrate market will be worth $31 billion by 2030 driven by AI and HPC, says Yole, spanning Advanced IC Substrates (AICS), Glass Core Substrates (GCS), Substrate-like PCB (SLP), and Embedded Die (ED) technologies. The AICS market reached $14.2 billion in 2024growing 1% y-o-y; GCS is coming closer to commercialisation with strategic investments and pilot lines set up globally; SLP ...
A school space club, Astrogazers, has taken a step closer reaching orbit with the help of engineers from the University of Bath. The school – Croydon High School – successfully completed the final stage of live testing their CubeSat satellite for Mission Pegasus. The initiative, encouraging STEM participation, involves the all-girl Astrogazers club. And their prototype CubeSat satellite was carried ...
Analog Devices has created a pair of 22V stereo Class-D audio amplifier that idle at 6mA and shut-down to microamps. MAX98415A and MAX98425A are similar, and both including envelope tracking control that saves power by instructing an external dc-dc converter to provide the amplifiers main power input with just enough voltage for clean output signals. The difference between the two ...
Astute Group has signed a distribution agreement with Silanna Semiconductor to distribute its Plural ADCs in Europe and India. According to Astute, Plural ADCs offer a more affordable and versatile option with shorter lead times compared to current market alternatives. They are factory-configurable, providing over 150 ADC variants with sample rates ranging from 20 to 250Msps. The ADCs are available ...
Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign are investigating phase-change as a way to improve heat-sinking in space. Earth-bound heatsinks loose most of their heat by convection – a luxury not available to heatsinks on satellites which can only use radiation. And spacecraft heatsinks cannot be heavy. The research project is looking into situations were heat is not generated continuously, ...
Samsung is delaying facilitising its Taylor, Texas fab (pictured below) because it lacks customers for it, reports the Nikkei. The success of TSMC’s 2nm process has been so comprehensive that the company has won many of the big customers for it – Apple, MediaTek, Qualcomm, AMD and Broadcom. Earlier this week it was reported that Intel is considering giving up ...
Space strategy experts will appear before a cross-party Lords Committee on Monday July 7 to answer questions on how the UK should adapt and evolve in a changing political landscape. The latest evidence session of the Lords UK Engagement with Space Committee will take place from 3.30pm in Committee Room 3, Palace of Westminster, and can be watched live on Parliament ...
Despite a slowdown in EV sales which is delaying demand for SiC devices and wafers, Yole reckons the SiC market will have a 20% CAGR 2024-30 to reach $10.3 billion in 2030. Despite the slowdown, the automotive & mobility segment is expected to retain about 70% of SiC demand over the next 5 years. Yole also sees a: $200 million ...
The UK Space Agency (UKSA) has launched a major new procurement process to tackle the threat of space debris. It is beginning a £75.6 million tender for a mission to remove defunct satellites from orbit. The proposed Active Debris Removal (ADR) mission, will involve a specially designed spacecraft. It will be equipped with robotic and autonomous navigation technology. This will ...
