‘Power Quality Problems’
An Electronicstalk guide
Start with the news release Dates announced for National Electronics Week from National Electronics Week, which we summarised at the time by saying "NEW Events has announced that National Electronics Week 2011 is taking place from 12-13 April at the NEC Pavilion in Birmingham. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Oscillator achieves ultra-low phase noise from Z-Communications: "Z-Communications has announced an RoHS-compliant VCO (voltage-controlled oscillator) in S-band for digital radio and fixed wireless applications that require ultra-low phase noise performance. ".
In December 2010, we covered the news from Nordic Semiconductor - take a look at Monitoring system features Nordic transceivers which says: "Nordic Semiconductor has announced that Spantec has developed a fully comprehensive ANT+ telemedical remote monitoring system using Nordic nRF24AP2 eight-channel 2.4GHz ANT transceivers.".
Take a look also at the news release from MSC Vertriebs, MSC distributes YDS DC/DC converters, as well as Rakon TCXOs feature power management from Rakon, and RS Components launches power supply microsite from RS Components.
