The ISO11451-2 is the internationally recognized ‘basic’ standard developed to address the testing of electronic components. This included systems immunity against radiated electromagnetic disturbances. Specifically, the immunity of passenger cars and commercial vehicles to electrical disturbances caused by off-vehicle radiation sources. This standard encompasses vehicles with diverse propulsion systems. For example spark ignition engines, diesel engines, and electric motors. Furthermore,...

MPI introduces first probe station for mmW and THz on-wafer measurements
With significant expansion of emerging THz applications, such as high-speed 5G communication, satellites, non-invasive spectroscopy, security and surveillance, medical and health care equipment, and short range automotive radar, the need for accurate, reliable and repeatable measurement data has become more crucial than ever. This is especially true for the research and technology development of the devices, integrated circuits and new...
CN Rood demonstrates NI 2 Slots PXI Express Chassis
At the Electronics & Applications fair CN Rood will demonstrate the NI PXIe-1090 Two-Slot Chassis. It features a high-bandwidth, all-hybrid backplane to meet high-performance test and measurement application needs, and is designed for lab desk or benchtop use. The PXIe-1090 is the smallest and most affordable chassis NI has ever produced. The PXIe-1090 has all the flexibility, performance, and software connectivity...
New MEMS-based RF multiplexers deliver 300x operational life and 60x test system throughput
Pickering Interfaces announced a new range of PXI/PXIe RF (radio frequency) multiplexer (MUX) modules featuring a new switching technology. Ideal for wireless communications and semiconductor test, the new MEMS-based RF multiplexers deliver vastly increased operational life (up to 300x), faster operating speed (up to 60x), higher bandwidth, and increased RF power handling versus traditional EMR (electromechanical relay) alternatives. Insertion loss...
Dutch municipality continuously measures magnetic fields near high-voltage line
On the 23th May, a Narda Multi-Band Area Monitor was provided by CN Rood and installed by the municipality of Helmond. With this monitor, the municipality maps the magnetic fields around the high-voltage line running through a residential area. The reason is the announced upgrading of the 380kV high-voltage grid. Better use of existing 380kV connection In the Dutch high-voltage...

Pickering Interfaces, the leading supplier of modular signal switching & simulation solutions for use in electronic test & verification, has announced a new range of PXI/PXIe microwave relay modules capable of switching the 110 GHz signals associated with demanding RF & communications applications, including emerging technologies such as automotive radar. This extension to Pickering’s family of terminated SPDT microwave switches...
Narda FieldMan – With ultrasonic distance meter
The ultrasonic distance meter of the Narda electromagnetic field meter precisely measures the height above ground where the FieldMan is being operated, which makes the exact positioning of the measuring device much easier. The measurement is accurate to within one centimeter, with a capture angle of 15 degrees and a range of 25 cm to 400 cm. The measurement units...
Flanders Make Lommel invests in 540kW DC Simulation System for Electric Vehicles
Flanders Make Lommel has granted CN Rood the contract to build a 540kW DC simulation system. This system will enable Flanders Make from Q3 2023 on to power and test next-generation battery packs including 800V & 1200V DC battery packs. In addition, the system will be used to power inverters of electric motors. The simulation system is modular and can...
Hioki releases battery insulation tester BT5525
Prevent latent defective battery leakage that can cause fires. HIOKI has released the battery insulation tester BT5525 for battery production lines. The Battery insulation tester BT5525 is often used in production lines for lithium-ion battery (LIB) cells. It is a device to detect insulation defects that cause battery ignition or reduce longevity. Until now, it has been difficult to detect...
