Netherlands based Antenna Company has installed a StarLab antenna testing system at its Eindhoven design centre. The system will allow it to undertake rapid measurement of ultra wideband and multiband antenna performance during design, prototyping and manufacture.Dr Diego Caratelli, chief technology officer for Antenna Company, said:"StarL...

A cooperative project, called MMPSiC, is looking to enhance the efficiency of power supplies for industrial processes. Researchers from the Light Technology Institute (LTI) at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), in cooperation with TRUMPF Hüttinger and IXYS Semiconductor, are studying the use of high power SiC semiconductor switches, back...

Atmel says its latest CryptoAuthentication product – the ATECC508A – is the first to integrate the Elliptic Curve Diffie–Hellman (ECDH) security protocol, an ultra secure method to provide key agreement for encryption/decryption. The part, which also features Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) authentication, is ta...

New materials that could yield higher computational speeds and lower power consumption are being researched by a team from the University of Michigan and Western Michigan University.Because most modern circuits rely on controlling electronic charge, which can be disrupted, spintronics, may offer a more robust alternative. However, making a radi...

A solid state technology platform developed by scientists in Italy and France is said to open the door to the use of THz photonics in a range of applications.While there has been much research into THz technology, the team says one missing piece has been a complementary detection technology. To solve this problem, the researchers used an approa...

Globalfoundries has announced a partnership with imec under which they will jointly research future radio architectures and designs for highly integrated mobile devices and IoT applications."This collaboration expands our relationship with imec and we're eager to leverage its R&D expertise in RF technology to accelerate time-to-vol...

GE Global Research has made what it says is a significant technological achievement in the development of a sensor capable of detecting 'chemicals of interest' at low concentrations.Working with the Technical Support Working Group, Quantum Magnetics and KemSENSE, the company has used its RFID technology to develop battery free RFID tags...

Scientists from Ghent University and imec have seen a peculiar interaction between light and sound in a nanoscale area. The work is said to hold the prospect on enhanced signal processing being integrated on mass producible silicon photonic chips.Silicon photonics builds on structures called silicon photonic wires, which carry optical signals f...

A material that might be used to create efficient plasmonic devices that respond to light in the mid infrared (IR) range has been identified and synthesised by a team led by North Carolina State University. According to the team, it is the first time such a material has been demonstrated.The research focuses on surface plasmon resonance, where...

Samsung Electronics has begun mass production of the Exynos 7 Octa, said to be the first mobile application processor to incorporate 14nm FinFET process technology."Samsung's advanced 14nm FinFET process technology is undoubtedly the most advanced logic process technology in the industry," claimed Gabsoo Han, executive vice presid...
