for harness manufacturers and
prevents the loss of rear seals for
a cost-competitive mated system.
The connection system is available
with nine different colour-coded
housings to enable easy visual
mating of harnesses and to prevent
mis-mating.
R&S Scope Rider: first
portable, mobile use
oscilloscope with the
performance of a lab instrument
Rohde & Schwarz is presenting the
first handheld oscilloscope with the
functionality and touch and feel of
a state of the art lab oscilloscope.
The R&S Scope Rider combines five
instruments in a compact format, and
its rugged design makes it perfect for
mobile installation and maintenance
work. The instrument features isolated
input and communications interfaces. It
meets CAT IV standards and can carry
out measurements on low voltage
installation sources up to 600 V.
The R&S Scope Rider from Rohde &
Schwarz is equally impressive in the lab
and in the field. With an acquisition rate
of 50,000 waveforms per second, a 10
bit A/D converter developed byRohde &
Schwarz and a maximum bandwidth of
500 MHz for the analog input channels,
this portable oscilloscope clearly
outperforms comparable instruments.
The R&S Scope Rider integrates five
functions to offer a level of versatility
not found in any other instrument.
It is based on a high performance
oscilloscope featuring a precise
digital trigger system, 33 automatic
measurement functions, mask test
and XY diagram mode. Plus, the R&S
Scope Rider can function as a logic
analyzer with eight additional digital
channels, as a protocol analyzer with
trigger and decoding capability, as a
data logger and a digital multimeter.
New Grid-EYE infrared
array sensor Evaluation Kit
from Panasonic
Grid-EYE is an infrared array sensor
and the first ever 64 pixel IR camera in
an all-in-one compact SMD package.
Based on Panasonic’s MEMS
(Micro Electro Mechanical Systems)
technology, Grid-EYE combines the
MEMS sensor chip, a digital ASIC (I2C
interface) and a silicon lens. It has 64
thermopile elements in an 8×8 grid
format that detect absolute surface
temperature without any contact.
Unlike conventional sensors, Grid-
EYE uses a patented 60° silicon lens
etched out of a silicon wafer, which
is (with less than 0.3mm height) the
smallest available lens in the market.
The combination of these modern
and sophisticated technologies from
Panasonic enables to reduce the
sensor package size to only 11.6mm
x 8mm x 4.3mm, which is around 70
% smaller in size than competitor
products. Compared to pyroelectric
sensors, it is not only possible to detect
moving people and objects but also the
position and presence of motionless
people and objects, the direction of
movements and the accurate surface
temperature from -20°C up to +100°C.
With this wide range of temperature
measurement Panasonic is able to
reach a NETD (Noise equivalent
temperature difference) of +/- 0.5°C at
room temperature.
IZT RF Receiver R4000
Combines 120 MHz Bandwidth
with 32768-Point FFT
The IZT GmbH launched a new
option for its powerful R4000 RF
receiver. The 32768-point FFT
option in combination with the
120 MHz real-time bandwidth
ensures reliable detection of fast
bursts and frequency-agile signals.
Even the most advanced hoppers
with extremely high hop rates
are detected under demanding
SNR environments. The Hopper
Detector plugin provides real-time
information about detected hoppers
containing bandwidth, dwell time
and time-of-arrival information.
Using the 32768-point FFT, the real-
time frequency resolution is less
than 5 kHz over the full 120 MHz
bandwidth. The transformation is
processed in a high-performance
FPGA. The continuous detection
without any gaps makes the R4000
a very powerful real-time signal
analyzer.
In parallel to the PSD (Power
Spectral Density), IQ content of sub-
bands or even the full bandwidth
can be retrieved and forwarded to
