Radio Waves Power Tiny Wireless Temperature Sensor

Researchers at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) have developed a very tiny wireless temperature sensor that is powered in a very special way: from the radio waves that are part of the sensor's wireless network. This means that the sensor needs not even a single wire, nor a battery that would have to be replaced. The arrival of such sensors is an important development on route towards smart buildings, for instance. But the applications are many and various.

Cymatic-Holographic Imaging Technique Creates ‘What-the-Dolphin-Saw’ Image of Submerged Man

A dolphin’s echolocation beam was directed at a submerged man and the echo captured by a hydrophone system. The echo signal was sent to a sound imaging laboratory who created the first ever ‘what-the-dolphin-saw’ image of the submerged man, by using a cymatic-holographic imaging technique.

UCSD, Keysight Demonstrate Wafer-Scale 64- and 256-Element Phased-Array Transmitter for 5G Communications

Keysight Technologies, Inc., in collaboration with The University of California, San Diego (UCSD), has demonstrated the world’s first 64 (8 x 8) and 256-element (16 x 16), 60-GHz silicon wafer-scale phased-array transmitter with integrated high-efficiency antennas for Gbps communications at 100 to 200 meters. With this demonstration, Keysight and UCSD have now proven that a 5G communication link is not only possible, but can deliver record performance.

Optimising measurement performance of infrared thermal imaging cameras

There are many factors to consider when selecting a thermal imaging camera. While emissivity and wavelength are crucial when measuring the temperature of specific materials or objects, other factors such as ease of camera set up, software integration capabilities and compactness are equally important, says Glenn Wedgbrow, Sales Manager at Micro-Epsilon UK.
