The ECA30 series accepts universal input from 90-264VAC and 22 models are available that provide output power of 30 Watts, with single, dual and triple outputs from 5VDC to 48VDC. For more information, visit www.astrodyne.com. Immunity Simulation Added to ApsimSPE Applied Simulation Technology has added Immunity simulation capability to the ApsimSPE product line, the company’s Signal Integrity, Power Integrity and EMI simulator. Immunity simulation is used to predict a design’s susceptibility to various noise sources, from the design or from the outside. ApsimSPE is integrated with ApsimRADIA, the company’s EMI solution. Using ApsimSPE makes EMI simulation of the whole board possible. The product is available on both Windows 32bit/64bit and Sun Workstations (Solaris) operating systems with stand alone or parallel processing. For more information, visit www.apsimtech.com. New Suite of Antennas for HIRF Testing AR RF Microwave Instrumentation has introduced a suite of three high-gain, high-power microwave horn antennas for use in DO 160 HIRF (High Intensity Radiated Frequency) testing. AR’s amplifiers and antennas are already critical components in HIRF testing due to their ability to generate high intensity field strengths. The new suite of antennas provides more options for more test conditions. They are extremely compact and lightweight for easy mobility. They are built to withstand the demands of outdoor use. All three antennas are designed to mount easily on a tripod or to a mounting plate; and can be used with AR’s power-pulsed traveling wave tube amplifiers.
