The M5i series digitizers deliver real-time sampling at
rates up to 6.4 GS/s with 12-bit resolution and they can stream
all the acquired data directly over the PCIe bus at 12.8 GB/s.
This capability is then further enhanced by the new firmware
option, which permits acquired signals to be averaged at 15
million events per second.
Summation Averaging is a common, time-domain-based,
processing technique that is used to reduce the random
(uncorrelated) noise component of a signal, improving its signal-to-noise
ratio (SNR), while at the same time increasing a
digitizer's measurement resolution and dynamic range.
Ideally, if the signal and noise are uncorrelated, i.e., the
noise being random while the signal is repetitive, then the
summation averaging function can improve the SNR in proportion
to the square root of the number of measurements (or
averages). For example, averaging a signal 256 times may improve
the SNR by as much as 24 dB or increase measurement
resolution by around 4 bits. As such, this technique can be used
to improve and extend the 12-bit resolution of the M5i series
digitizers.

High-Power E-Band Transceiver for 5G
XHaul Applications
Filtronic has announced
the launch of Morpheus
X2, the latest generation of
its E-band transceiver for
carrier-grade applications
in 5G backhaul, midhaul
and fronthaul-collectively
known as XHaul.
Morpheus X2 is the
latest design based on Filtronic's
proven E-band
(71 to76 GHz and 81 to
86 GHz) transceiver platform. Integrating all the RF transmit
and receive functions required for an E-band radio link,
the transceiver module offers a linear transmit power output
of +23 dBm-3 dB higher than the standard Morpheus
II product-while occupying the same compact footprint of
90 × 80 mm. Receiver noise figure is typically 7 to 8 dB, and an
enhanced option with 4.5 to 5.5 dB noise figure is also available
for specialized applications.
This higher power level enables longer link lengths when
the modules are used in all types of mmWave XHaul applications.
The compact form factor of the modules and their
reconfigurable architecture also provide an ideal platform
from which to develop ultra-high capacity payloads and
ground systems for LEO satellite constellations and High Altitude
Platform Systems (HAPS).

Dell'Oro Group has forecast that E-band mmWave radio
links will experience the fastest growth of all the frequency
bands over the five-year period to 2026, with the combined Eband
and V-Band market predicted to grow at a compound
annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25%. This growth is being
driven by the global demand for XHaul for 5G networks, for
which radio links in the mmWave bands can provide both high
capacity and high data rate.

VFDs Provides Flexible Motor Control
and Energy Savings
IDEC Corporation now offers
a new line of VF1A
Doesa variable frequency
drives (VFDs), providing
versatile control and efficient
operation of electrical
motors for a wide range of
applications.
VFDs are used to control
the speed and torque of
AC motors so users can optimize
system performance
by running equipment at just the speed required to meet the
demand of the load. Furthermore, VFDs are configurable to
accelerate and decelerate to commanded speed smoothly,
reducing the wear and tear on associated mechanical components.
Among the greatest of VFD benefits is the energy
savings realized by running a motor at any speed below maximum,
so long as the equipment needs are met.
IDEC VF1A Doesa VFDs are suitable for speed control of
variable and constant torque applications ranging from fans
and pumps to specialized equipment. The VFD can drive an
induction motor (IM) or a permanent magnet synchronous
motor (PMSM). IMs can be driven in open loop or closed loop,
while PMSMs can be driven in open loop only
Electrical input is nominally rated as three-phase low
voltage AC 400 V (with an allowable input voltage range of
380-480 V AC), and the VFDs come in 14 models with a capacity
range of up to 139 A.
The VFD also includes seven digital inputs, two analog inputs,
three digital outputs, and two analog outputs for added
control functionality. A standard option port and RS-485 terminals
are included, and the VFD accepts removable terminal
cards for standard, 5V, and 12V/15V operation.
An on-board keypad provides convenient status and diagnostic
monitoring, along with local configuration and control
capability.
