Remembering the Avo 7
The remarkable Avo Mark 7 moving coil multimeter remained in production from 1936 to 1986. No self-respecting engineer was without one. [ + ]
More speed, more insight
FFT-based EMI test receivers used for compliance measurements can reduce scan time by several orders of magnitude and to provide more precise and reproducible measurements. [ + ]
Choice: the solution for public safety
In a world of broadening critical communications methods, solutions that don’t offer choice aren’t solutions - they’re constraints. [ + ]
Industry voice growing: ARCIA
The Australian Radio Communications Industry Association has had a very successful six months, writes Christian Kelly. [ + ]
System-level design of mixed-signal integrated circuits
Researchers at the Semiconductor Technology Academic Research Centre have developed a way to reduce the time it takes to design mixed-signal semiconductors by 50%. [ + ]
The FM innovator
Considered by many to be the most prolific inventor in radio history, Edwin Armstrong, the pioneer of FM, is barely known today. [ + ]
Combining technologies for crisis communications
Keeping lines of communications open during a crisis is critical - and the Dublin Fire Brigade has shown how, using satellite and hybrid technologies. [ + ]
Australian telescope to reveal early universe
Solar storms, space junk and the formation of the universe are about to be seen in an entirely new way with the recent start of operations of the $51 million Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) radio telescope. [ + ]
Using RFID for fibre composites
Antennas that are capable of transmitting radio waves turn components into intelligent objects. Researchers have now found a way to embed these antennas in fibre composites. [ + ]
A new way to measure AC
Scientists in the USA have developed new technology for improving sensitive AC voltage measurements by a factor of three. [ + ]
Radio bursts point to cataclysmic origins
Using the CSIRO’s Parkes radio telescope, astronomers have spotted huge bursts of radio energy possibly coming from ‘magnetars’. [ + ]
50 years of WWVB
On 5 July 1963, a modest radio station in Colorado officially went on the airwaves, beginning a career of vital service to industry and the public. [ + ]
