With the new R&S NRX RF power meter, even complex test setups can be configured quickly

Munich, March 18, 2019 — High-precision RF power measurement for modern applications is a challenge. Rohde & Schwarz is launching the R&S NRX on the market so that users can transparently configure their measurements and perform them conveniently. The R&S NRX even makes it possible to perform triggered and synchronized multichannel measurements with different power sensors.

The user operates the instrument via the integrated high-resolution 5″ touchscreen. Measurements are configured using large buttons. The system supports the user with a logical calibration and draws attention to conflicts in case of doubt. If required, the instrument can also … Read More → "With the new R&S NRX RF power meter, even complex test setups can be configured quickly"

Samtec Releases Ultra Micro Power Connectors with Incredible Design Flexibility

New Albany, IN: Samtec announces the release of mPOWER™ connectors – the ultimate micro high-power solution with incredible design flexibility for power-only or power/signal applications. This 2.00 mm pitch power connector system (UMPT/UMPS) features a small form factor while achieving up to 18 Amps per blade.

This micro high-power system not only saves board space, but also carries extremely high amperage per square inch. Compared to traditional power connectors that carry 20 Amps per blade in a large form factor, mPOWER™ passes 18 Amps per blade in about half the size, freeing up the board for other components or minimizing … Read More → "Samtec Releases Ultra Micro Power Connectors with Incredible Design Flexibility"
