Self-Healing Antennas - Forbes.com

http://jonnyboats.wordpress.com/ 97 days, 9 hours, 47 minutes ago

Lazzi, chair of the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Utah, and Dickey, a chemical engineer at North Carolina State University, have created an antenna made of a metal alloy that is liquid at room temperature. They inject the alloy into thin tubes called microchannels designed into whatever they want to hold the antenna. "The wire itself is a liquid so its mechanical properties are defined by the encasing material, which could be lots of things--a rubber band, bath... (more)

Grounding of Mixes Signal Systems

Henry Ott ConsultantsElectromagnetic Compatibility Consulting and Training Grounding of Mixed Signal PCBs A question that I hear often is: How do I prevent digital logic ground currents from contaminating my low level analog circuitry? This is a good question without a simple answer. Most A/D converter manufacturer's data books and application notes provide little if any useful information on the subject. If they do provide information, it is usually only applicable to a simple system ... (more)

Panbo: The Marine Electronics Weblog: Garmin VHF 200, first impressions

Garmin VHF 200, first impressions Aug 28, 2009 It took a while, but the premium Garmin VHF 200 is now a reality, and it's a corker. I installed a sample on Gizmo yesterday and spent a fair bit of the day listening to it and trying out DSC features. As Bill Lentz noted in a recent comment, the 200 is a snap to hook up using NMEA 2000, instantly getting GPS off the backbone and delivering DSC call info to any device that knows what to do with it (unfortunately few so far). It also seems to have a sens... (more)

On Monday, IBM researchers and collaborator Paul W.K. Rothemund, of the California Institute of Technology, announced an advancement of a method to arrange DNA or... (more)

SRT, blowing the AIS doors offAug 17, 2009 In 2005, when Software Radio Technology talked about a Class B AIS transponder retailing for $500, I expressed some skepticism. But "good work takes time" (as I often say about my home-built home), Class B has almost reached that price point in 2009 (largely thanks to SRT), and -- holy cow, Batman -- wait til you hear what they've got in the pipeline. For starters, how about a small, high performance Class A transponder that will cost "well below $2,000" a... (more)

18" radome testing, part 2Aug 12, 2009 Man, this radome testing is getting complicated. I had kinda presumed that the Navico Broadband BR24 would be obviously superior to other 18" scanners. But, as discussed recently, the Raymarine RD418D kinda torpedoed that presumption. While I doubt that any radar can target a moving dinghy and two sailboats on a float at 100 feet as cleanly as you see above, there is a lot more to radar than super near range. The inflatable, incidentally, dissappeared when i... (more)

SevenStar Class B, & an AIS ruminationAug 10, 2009 I've been testing a SevenStar SeaTraceR Class B AIS transponder for couple of weeks now, mostly on Gizmo but also in the lab. I could not detect any significant performance differences between it and other Class Bs, even when quickly swapping antenna connections and counting targets. But it does have a nice over/under tilt mount that lends itself to numerous install positions, and it also has wires for a remote silent switch, like the ACR Nautic... (more)

Echomax RTE looks great, but what about USA?Aug 5, 2009 I first got excited about RTEs (Radar Target Enhancers) in 2002 when the Sea-Me came out; in fact, it inspired one of my favorite PMY columns (in which you'll also learn why I want a whomping big horn on Gizmo). The Sea-Me went on to be quite a successful product, at least in the U.K., but now Echomax -- the Brits who already build a respected line of static radar reflectors -- has come out with its own Active-X RTE, and apparently it just plai...

We all know about Twitter, the now massively popular 140 character messaging service. ioBridge will be new to many.
