UNIVERSITY UPDATE
SALLY COLE, SENIOR EDITOR
 
The U.S. Federal Communications Com­mission (FCC), with help from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and other agencies, is about to open up a 150 MHz-wide swath of radio frequency (RF) spectrum traditionally reserved for the military and allow it to be shared with mobile operators.

MIL TECH TRENDS
MARIANA IRIARTE, TECHNOLOGY EDITOR
 
The electronics footprint on unmanned aircraft systems (UASs) continues to shrink. These reduced size, weight, and power (SWaP) requirements are driving radio frequency (RF) and microwave designers to come up with innovative ways to deliver the reduced SWaP while increasing performance and enhancing the platform's capability.

Capturing wire rate data from today's compute-intensive intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) sensor platforms brings new meaning to the old metaphor "drinking from a fire hose." Airborne ISR systems may have hundreds of cameras and other sensors that generate data that needs to be captured and...

MIL TECH TRENDS
MICHAEL WALMSLEY, TE CONNECTIVITY
 
These days, multifunction radars handle functions from surveillance to jamming to fire control, and can track multiple targets in both short- and long-range threats. That means one thing for your active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar design--you need a lot more signal processing power.

One of the biggest challenges for VPX system designers is the management of I/O [input/output] to and from the modules. VPX leaves a lot of room for handling all types of I/O and the teams working on the standards have brought some excellent solutions to market.
