Anritsu Introduces CPRI RF Measurement Option That Dramatically Reduces Time and Cost Associated with Testing RRHs on 4G Networks

June 29, 2016

Morgan Hill, CA – June 28, 2016 – Anritsu Company introduces CPRI RF measurement capability in its market-leading E series of Site Master™, Spectrum Master™, and Cell Master™ handheld field analyzers that dramatically simplifies and lowers the cost of testing Remote Radio Heads (RRHs) installed atop 4G towers. Solidifying Anritsu’s position as the industry leader in field test solutions, the new option reduces network OpEx by allowing wireless carrier engineers, technicians and contractors responsible for wireless networks to identify interference sources on the radio uplink at ground level, reducing the use of unnecessary and costly tower climbing crews.

New mid-infrared laser system could detect atmospheric chemicals

June 29, 2016

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Researchers at MIT and elsewhere have found a new way of using mid-infrared lasers to turn regions of molecules in the open air into glowing filaments of electrically charged gas, or plasma. The new method could make it possible to carry out remote environmental monitoring to detect a wide range of chemicals with high sensitivity.

The new system makes use of a mid-infrared ultra-fast pulsed laser system to generate the filaments, whose colors can reveal the chemical fingerprints of different molecules. The finding is being reported this week in the journal Optica, in … Read More → "New mid-infrared laser system could detect atmospheric chemicals"

New Technique Improves Accuracy of Computer Vision Technologies

June 28, 2016

Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed a new technique that improves the ability of computer vision technologies to better identify and separate objects in an image, a process called segmentation.

Image processing and computer vision are important for multiple applications, from autonomous vehicles to detecting anomalies in medical imaging.

Computer vision technologies use algorithms to segment, or outline the objects, in an image. For instance, separating the outline of a pedestrian against the backdrop of a busy street.

These algorithms rely on defined parameters – programmed values – to segment images. For example, … Read More → "New Technique Improves Accuracy of Computer Vision Technologies"
