New OpenVPX and SOSA Aligned Chassis from Pixus Comes in a Front-to-Rear Cooled Airflow Configuration

Waterloo, Ontario  —  Mar 23, 2023 –  Pixus Technologies, a provider of embedded computing and enclosure solutions, has a new 4U 19” rackmount chassis with a horizontal loading configuration with a front-to-rear airflow approach.  The enclosure supports 3U, 6U, or a hybrid mix of OpenVPX and SOSA aligned boards.

The 4U tall chassis platform supports up to 6x SOSA™ aligned or OpenVPX 6U boards.  Alternatively, the form factor can be divided into dual segments that can host  up to 12x boards in the 3U OpenVPX size.

Backplanes are available in various sizes and SOSA or VITA profiles with speeds to PCIe Gen4/5, 100GbE, and beyond.  Optical and RF interfaces through the backplane per VITA 66/67 specifications are also standard.  The chassis can accept either a fixed modular PSU or a pluggable version that is compliant to VITA 62.

Pixus offers 1U-4U tall horizontal orientation 19” rackmount systems in industrial-grade designs as well as MIL rugged and semi-rugged options.

 About Pixus Technologies

Leveraging over 20 years of innovative standard products, the Pixus team is comprised of industry experts in electronics packaging. Founded in 2009 by senior management from Kaparel Corporation, a Rittal company, Pixus Technologies’ embedded backplanes and systems are focused primarily on  SOSA aligned, OpenVPX, xTCA, and custom designs.    Pixus also has an extensive offering of VME-based and cPCI-based solutions.

Designing Robust 5G Power Amplifiers for the Real World

Sponsored by Keysight

Simulating 5G power amplifier (PA) designs at the component and system levels with authentic modulation and high-fidelity behavioral models increases predictability, lowers risk, and shrinks schedules. Simulation software enables multi-technology layout and multi-domain analysis, evaluating the impacts of 5G PA design choices while delivering accurate results in a single virtual workspace. This application note delves into how authentic modulation enhances predictability and performance in 5G millimeter-wave systems.
