Web Exclusive In many multi-antenna applications such as radar, direction-finding and satellite beam-forming, phase-coherent acquisition channels are critical for accurate data acquisition, whether for antenna calibration or channel sounding. Traditional test platforms are generally limited to measurements involving sinusoids, which preclude testing with broader band signals, such as multitone or live signals. Agilent Technologies has addressed the problem with a wide-bandwidth real-time digital downconverter. COWIN, a European initiative to facilitate the take-up of advanced technologies, is now helping the commercialisation phase of a European project to develop a Labon-a-Chip. The concept of a Lab-on-aChip has been around for many years but this project has brought together over a dozen different companies from around Europe to contribute the various technologies needed to make it a success. Called LabOnFoil, it is now at the stage of having three different products that are at the field testing phase. ➔ www.edn-europe.com/article.asp?articleid=5768 Altera has disclosed innovations planned for its next generation of 20-nm products, which will be a 20-nm mixed-system fabric with integration of 40-Gbps transceiver technology, a next-generation variableprecision digital signal processing (DSP) block architecture that delivers over 5 TFLOPs of IEEE 754 floating-point performance, and heterogeneous 3D ICs that integrate FPGAs with a user-customizable HardCopy ASIC or a variety of other technologies, including memory, third-party ASICs and optical interfaces. ➔ www.edn-europe.com/article.asp?articleid=5769 A new family of high-efficiency power devices from STMicroelectronics include the industry’s first superjunction transistors (MOSFETs) capable of withstanding peak voltages up to 950V; super-junction technology enables MOSFETs to achieve higher operating voltages with very low electrical on-resistance in relation to device size, enabling power supplies to deliver increased system reliability and energy efficiency within compact overall dimensions. ➔ www.edn-europe.com/article.asp?articleid=5771 ➔ www.edn-europe.com/article.asp?articleid=5770 In next month’s EDN Europe In its November issue, EDN Europe will look at the topics of Microprocessors/ microcontrollers, and Industrial System design. In December, the focus topics will be Consumer product design and FPGAs. Further ahead, planned topics include Automotive systems design.
