RT Kintex UltraScale FPGAs For Ultra High Throughput And High Bandwidth Applications
By Xilinx - 01 Dec, 2020 - Comments: 0

Xilinx's UltraScale architecture extends FPGA capability for space applications, delivering a step-function increase in I/O and memory bandwidth, capacity, performance, and in-orbit re-configurability. For the first time, the RT Kintex UltraScale XQRKU060 FPGA enables the satellite industry to access ultra-high throughput on-board processing of hundreds of Gb/s. This capability allows spacecraf... » read more

HDL Simulation Acceleration Solution For Microchip FPGA Designs
By Aldec - 23 Nov, 2020 - Comments: 0

Mission-critical FPGA designs for space and radar applications continue to increase in complexity, such that they require a comprehensive and robust verification environment. There are hardware-in-the-loop solutions in the market that utilize FPGA boards, but when it comes to establishing functional coverage and debugging the custom logic, users would typically need to go back to HDL simulation... » read more

Far Out AI In Remote Locations
By Susan Rambo - 08 Sep, 2020 - Comments: 0

There really isn’t anything that you can do on Earth with electronics that you can’t do in space, but it certainly can be a lot harder and take longer to fix is something goes wrong. And as more intelligent electronics are launched into space, the concern over potential failures is growing. AI inferencing has been pushing out further for some time, and it is starting to redefine what con... » read more

Case Study—RF ASIC Validation Of A Satellite Transceiver
By Adesto Technologies - 12 Jun, 2019 - Comments: 0

ASIC validation in the RF world comes with its own set of hurdles and challenges, with high-quality lab equipment, experience and know-how essential. A recently completed RF sub-system validation at S3 Semiconductors is presented in the form of a case study of the execution. The validation PCB design focussed on impedance matching and shielding RF signals from noise sources. We built up an effi... » read more

March’19 Startup Funding: Money Springs Forth
By Jeff Dorsch - 04 Apr, 2019 - Comments: 0

Another month, another couple of billion-dollar rounds. Singapore-based Grab raised nearly $1.5 billion from the SoftBank Vision Fund, bringing its total private funding to more than $4.5 billion and valuing the company at around $14 billion. Grab has acquired Uber’s ride-hailing business in Southeast Asia and now competes chiefly with Go-Jek of Indonesia in Thailand and other emerging mar... » read more

The Rising Need for Satellite Security
By Rambus - 05 Sep, 2018 - Comments: 0

Satellites today contain highly complex embedded microelectronics systems complete with processing, data storage, and data receiving/transmitting capabilities. Further, they are controlled by ground stations, computers in data centers. They are therefore susceptible to threats prevalent in cloud computing architectures including insider threats, malicious downloads, etc. As such, satellite secu... » read more

The Week In Review: IoT
By Jeff Dorsch - 11 Aug, 2017 - Comments: 0

Connectivity M1 Limited of Singapore worked with Nokia to launch a nationwide narrowband Internet of Things network, targeting such applications as asset tracking, environmental monitoring, fleet management, and smart energy management for buildings. M1 hopes to boost the IoT ecosystem in Singapore with the new NB-IoT network. M&A DuPont has agreed to acquire Granular, a provider of digita... » read more

Power-Performance Bits: Dec 3
By Brian Bailey - 03 Dec, 2013 - Comments: 0

In this week’s edition of Power/Performance Bits we look at two very different types of antennas, in one case a combined antenna and solar panel and in the second nanoantennas that can create holograms. Combining Antennas with Solar Panels When it comes to satellites weight is everything, and historically telecommunication antennas and solar cells have never really worked well together, a... » read more
