Most of you know NEBS has something to do with telecommunications. It’s true; NEBS has a lot to do with telecommunications. NEBS is the premiere set of documents used to ensure telecommunications equipment perform at their highest level possible.

Although the foundation of a failure analysis is rooted in science, there is also an art to completing one, successfully. The path from problem discovery to problem solution has many bumps and twists along the way. This article will hopefully help guide you on that journey.

Rohde & Schwarz, a leading manufacturer of test & measurement, communications and broadcasting equipment, has developed an oscilloscope that ensures high-signal fidelity when measuring the dynamic "on" resistance of power FETs (field-effect transistors).

Fox Electronics, a leading global supplier of frequency control solutions, now offers the F300 series of HCMOS oscillators which feature low voltage and low current consumption. The 1-volt oscillators incorporate a standby function that reduces the oscillator’s current consumption to 5 micro amps for more efficient power usage.

API Technologies' Spectrum Control product line announces their new composite connector series. These composite connectors feature shells fabricated from high grade thermoplastic. Designed to displace traditional metal connector shells for substantial weight reduction, this new addition to the Spectrum Control product line offers composite shell versions of its circular connectors in MIL-38999 series III and IV, available EMI filtered or unfiltered.

QuadTech, a leading provider of electrical safety testers, passive component measurement solutions, ac and dc programmable power sources and dc electronic loads, has created new Softpanel Software Video Demos for AC Programmable Power Sources, DC Programmable Power Sources and DC Programmable Electronic Loads.

Teseq Inc., a leading developer and provider of instrumentation and systems for EMC emission and immunity testing, has expanded its broadband amplifier line to include a new Class A model that operates from 10 kHz to 400 MHz with a saturated power level of 110 W.
