Automated Target Tracking
This paper explores the ramifications of real-time autonomous vehicle performance in cluttered environments. It analyzes the gap between the predictable and the unpredictable, introduces real object tracing, explores the benefits and pitfalls of real-time moving object tracking and introduces possible solutions for uninterrupted operation of autonomous vehicles.
Software Defined Radio Handbook, Ninth Edition
Pentek offers board and system-level SDR products that include digital downconverters, upconverters and transceivers for a complete SDR solution.
VPX for High-Performance Avionic Computers
Traditional high-performance computing platforms are limited by the connection bandwidth and latency between the multiple computing elements needed to achieve the performance targets. For the embedded market, the difficulty is compounded by the demanding environmental requirements. The VPX standard resolves this limitation with a large number of high-throughput point-to-point connections between the processing elements in a rugged mechanical structure.
New Technology Enables a Chip Scale Atomic Clock
More than a miniaturized version of bigger clocks, Symmetricom’s CSAC SA.45s is a reinvention — the world’s first Chip Scale Atomic Clock. Learn why a chip scale atomic clock with such small size and low power consumption is enabling a new class of atomic clock applications defined by portability, including semiconductor laser technology, silicon processing, vacuum packaging, and firmware algorithms. This paper examines the Symmetricom CSAC SA.45s — its innovative technology, product features, performance specs, example applications and more.
