Packaging power modules for electric vehicles

15 March, 2010 | Supplied by: Semikron Danfoss

The wind power and electric vehicle markets today require power modules with high power density, high reliability and mechanical, thermal and electrical ruggedness. These requirements are best met by solder-free pressure contact technology. In a next step, wire bonds will be replaced by a flex foil to overcome today’s limitations on power cycling fatigue.


Benefits of high-power RF generators

15 March, 2010 by John S Hansen*, Senior Applications Engineer, Agilent Technologies

In RF testing, an essential attribute of every RF signal generator is the maximum output power it can supply to a device under test (DUT) while maintaining spectral purity and level accuracy. The ability to deliver a pure, accurate signal at +25 dBm or greater not only ensures improved measurement accuracy but also enables testing of extreme or unusual operating conditions.
