The risk of human casualties associated
with fuel convoys, combined with
the long-term cost issues of unreliable
technologies, has the military exploring
greener, more sustainable options with
the goal of increasing energy efficiencies,
lowering fuel consumption, and
lessening the risk of lost lives. Advanced
battery technology continues to be validated
...

Two key functions of switch-mode
power supply (SMPS) filter caps are
input filtering and output filtering.
Input filter caps need to be able to
supply a quick burst of energy and to
suppress noise generated in the switch
circuit. Important considerations for
the input filter cap are ESR, ...

When water flows over an
acoustic sensor, non-acoustic
pressure fluctuations caused
by turbulence can decrease the signal-to-noise ratio and make it difficult to
sense incoming acoustic waves. The
Quiet Water Tunnel Facility at the Naval
Undersea Warfare Center in Newport,
RI is a unique test facility capable of
investigating these ...

One aspect that sets circuit protection
for radio frequency
(RF) apart from other types of
applications is the range of frequencies
in which RF circuits operate. With
abbreviated clock cycles, the transition
time of the data leaves little room for
error. Transitions must be clean and reliable
to ensure the ...
