  5. cdma2000 RF measurements With Tektronix WCA200A Series Wireless Communication Analyzers 3/16/2006
    The Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) specification provides an important pathway to third-generation (3G) global wireless communication systems. Designed to accommodate the increasing number of subscribers and faster communication speeds required by today?s wireless communications, cdma2000 systems also provide the data transmission capabilities needed for Internet connection services. With voice and character transmission services for music and image transmissions, the specification meets the requirements of a multimedia service, providing capacity for features such as networked gaming through the Internet...
  6. Drop Proofing A Hard Disk Drive 2/28/2006
    When was the last time you dropped your desktop PC? When it was running? Never you say? Well the hard disk drive in your desktop PC probably doesn't need drop protection while running. Designing a hand held device, like a PDA, cell phone or MP3 player with a hard disk drive requires designing in some kind of drop protection. Hitachi has the technology, products and services to permit your device to have up to 8GB of storage in a robust, reliable and cost-effective package. Submitted by RubySky Technologies
  7. Nearline Goes Native: Tiered Storage With FC Disk Drives 2/28/2006
    The advent of Fibre Channel (FC) prompted a new network paradigm: the storage area network (SAN). With every server able to see every storage device in an FC SAN, data accessibility skyrocketed-and network efficiency with it. Now tiered storage has rewritten the rules for FC storage efficiency, complementing established online and offline storage platforms with a third tier of nearline storage to cost-effectively house the rarely accessed but fundamentally essential data that's flooding the enterprise.

  8. Optimizing Novel Antennas Using Flomerics' MicroStripes Electromagnetic Simulator 2/23/2006
    By Flomerics Inc.
    Sarantel exists to commercialize a new class of antennas which concentrate electromagnetic resonance energy into a high-dielectric core instead of the space surrounding the antenna. The great advantage of this design innovation is that the near-field energy does not interact with nearby bodies such as human tissues and therefore the antenna characteristics remain highly predictable in the presence of cluttering objects that typify in-use operation of wireless mobility devices...
  9. Simulation Reduces Design Time For EV-DO Antenna From 6 Months To 6 Weeks 2/23/2006
    By Flomerics Inc.
    The integration of increasing numbers of radio frequency (RF) devices into personal computers substantially increases the difficulties of antenna design. Envelope restrictions often make it necessary to optimize antenna performance within tight space constraints. Putting WiFi, Bluetooth, and cellular antennas in close proximity within a single package also creates the potential for cross-talk. Itronix, a leading developer of rugged, wireless computing solutions, faced these challenges in integrating a third wireless antenna, for EVDO reception, into a notebook computer...
