4 Minute Read Fiber optic technology transformed how data is transferred, making the switch from electric current to light. Fiber optic technology encodes information in light which allows for longer transmission distances with less signal...

5 Minute Read As an industry, telecommunications includes many networks like Wi-Fi (6, 6E, 7), 5G and open radio access networks (RAN), cellular base stations, edge computing and distributed antenna systems (DAS) to name a...

  Hand soldering remains one of the most widely practiced skills in electronics manufacturing and repair, yet it is also one of the most variable. Unlike automated reflow processes where profiles are locked in and...

Discover how next-generation EMI shielding coatings can deliver comparable 60–100 dB performance while reducing silver usage and lowering costs by up to 30%.

  Flux is essential to successful soldering. It removes oxides, promotes wetting, and enables reliable solder joints. But what happens after the iron lifts? For many engineers, the answer is not much. The assembly passes...

3 Minute Read Conformal coatings are a legacy technology that protect sensitive circuitry from the outside environment; namely moisture, dust and fungus. These coatings are electrically insulating polymeric materials that increase dielectric protection for printed...

3 Minute Read A military fighter pilot has much to focus on when in flight; namely fuel/range restrictions, inclement weather and enemy combatants. A lesser threat – although not benign – is lightning strikes which...

4 Minute Read With the layout of naval vessels, controlling electromagnetic interference (EMI) is a must to maintain operations. Consider all the systems operating within a single vessel, including radar (search, navigation), satellite communications (SATCOM),...
