In Compliance

To help facilitate the safe operation of uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS, otherwise known as drones), the FCC has published new rules applicable to the operation of UAS in the 5 GHz spectrum band.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has updated its list of authorized medical devices that incorporate augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies.

The FCC is taking steps to ensure that those with disabilities are able to take full advantage of the benefits of videoconferencing technologies.

As part of a broader effort to expand health outcomes across diverse populations in the U.S., the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has published a Discussion Paper to facilitate a public discussion on how to advance health equity in connection with medical devices.

The U.S. Federal Communications Commission is seeking comment on a wide range of changes to its rules applicable to frequency bands used by the Citizens Broadband Radio Service.

A Charged Device Model (CDM) simulation method has been demonstrated to predict CDM fail current of receiving circuits with gate oxide connected to pad. This method involves inclusion of 20ps rise time edge into the stimulus. It was shown previously that this fast rise time component of the pulse can cause the gate oxide damage. The simulation method is intended as a schematic-level tool during pre-silicon design phase to deliver CDM ESD protection. Simulation results are verified by silicon results with qualification CDM test on package and Transmission-Line-Pulse (TLP) measurements on wafer-level.

On a bright note, a teacher at a high school in Staten Island, NY is helping to train the next generation of America’s amateur radio operators!

The Enforcement Bureau of the FCC has reached a settlement with a telecommunications provider in connection with charges that the company transmitted illegal, AI-generated robocalls.

As expected, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission has published a formal version of its rules to address the growing use of AI in generating robocalls.

The U.S. Federal Communications Commission has released a new version of its smart device application that enables users to evaluate the speed of their mobile broadband connection.
