Before the majority of finished electrical and electronic products can carry the CE marking and be sold in the European Union, one of the directives with which they must comply is the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive 2014/30/EU.
As DC power distribution becomes increasingly complex, knowing how to get the best from measurement equipment is becoming more important to assess power quality and design suitable filters.
An inertial measurement unit (IMU) is a device that directly measures the three linear acceleration components and the three rotational rate components (6-DOF) of a vehicle. An IMU is unique among the sensors typically found in an autonomous vehicle because an IMU requires no connection or knowledge of the external world.
The launch of a communication satellite into space is a traumatic event for its parts and pieces. Components are heavily exposed to the eventuality of breakdown or damage, yet engineers need to ensure that the satellite reaches its orbit in faultless operating condition.
Saab Aeronautics needed to find a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solution to replace its custom system for interfacing to line-replaceable units (LRUs) in Saab Aeronautics simulators.
