Practically infinite reliability was the defining requirement when researchers wanted to run a TorqSense torque transducer under the sea as part of extensive trials of a green energy turbine Dependable, affordable energy from tidal streams and ocean currents could soon be a reality, with scale models of the innovative Evopod demonstrating the viability of the oceans as an energy source. Developed by Tyne & Wear based Oceanflow Energy, Evopod is a semi-submerged, floating,...
Multichannel data converter
Pentek more than doubles signal bandwidth with cobalt model 71651 software radio module. Pentek has announced its fastest ever multichannel data converter with digital down and up converters. With two channels each of 12-bit, 500 MHz A/D and 16-bit, 800 MHz D/A, the Model 71651 delivers more than twice the bandwidth of Pentek’s previous data converters. As a member of the Cobalt family of high-performance XMC modules, the Model 71651 has a Xilinx Virtex-6 FPGA at its core. The...
