Fault detector for small circuits
22 May, 2003
Scientists at Brown University have created a magnetic-sensing microscope that allows them to watch electricity flow through the tiniest components. They are using the device to find defects in integrated circuits and micro-machinery.
Spectrum analyser software
13 May, 2003 | Supplied by: Keysight Technologies Australia Pty Ltd
Agilent Technologies has introduced a software application for its spectrum analyser families, which allows multichannel power amplifier designers to achieve the lowest possible distortion and highest linearity with the least amount of effort and complexity. The 89604A distortion test suite can be used with ESA-E or PSA series spectrum analysers or 89600 series vector signal analysers.
