The EV12AD550 1.5GSample/s analogue-to-digital converter (ADC) from e2v is designed for a high dynamic range at 4.5GHz and S-band direct digitisation in space systems. It removes the need for down conversion stages reducing size and power consumption of the overall system. The design of what the company calls synthetic aperture radar (SAR) Earth observation systems, …

Australia’s Water Corporation weighs the options for climate-independent water
Australia’s Water Corporation is looking at “a range of options” for its next climate-independent source of water for western Australia, as it reaches the halfway mark of a 10-year strategy to ensure a climate-independent water supply.
Open source hypervisor runs multiple OS in IoT designs
An open source hypervisor can now be used with Imagination’s OmniShield ready MIPS CPUs. Designed for a small footprint, the L4Re hypervisor, which is maintained by Kernkonzept, can run on the hardware virtualization technology in MIPS CPUs. The aim of this is to provide more efficient context switching and to make better use of CPU …
