In last week’s post, we covered foundational details regarding PIM in modern wide-band and multi-carrier communication systems, with a note on upcoming 5G NR sub-6 GHz frequencies being added to the mix. This week’s blog expands upon that discussion and provides more details of PIM considerations specific to DAS. With DAS, another large PIM concern is…
The new I2C/SPI Tap for IO Ninja is an affordable sniffer for monitoring I2C and SPI communications. Our sniffer allows you to tap into the lines of I2C and SPI links and immediately view the captured data bytes in IO Ninja software — in real time and using our innovative dual-hex view tailor-suited for the…
Developed by Finnish startup, Anicare, the ‘Healtag’ tracker autonomously measures different vital functions for up to five years. Data is sent to the Cloud for access via a smartphone app so that injured or ill animals in the wild can be automatically identified for rescue Nordic Semiconductor today announces that its nRF9160 System-in-Package (SiP) LTE-M/NB-IoT…
Passive intermodulation distortion is the result of discontinuities, metal-to-metal contact, and material properties that lead to nonlinear characteristics of typically linear passive transmission lines and components. PIM can be induced in a variety of RF components, such as connectors, adapters, cable, combiners, splitters, couplers, tappers, attenuators, terminators, antennas, and cable-to-board interconnect. PIM is generated when…
