Compliance Testing of Harmonic Current Emissions According to IEC61000-3-2 and IEC61000-3-12.

Compliance Testing of Harmonic Current Emissions According to IEC61000-3-2 and IEC61000-3-12. Using the Vitrek PA900 Precision Harmonic Power Analyzer Introduction Compliance with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards is mandatory for electrical and electronic equipment sold in many global markets. Among these, the IEC61000-3-2 and IEC61000-3-12 standards specify limits for harmonic current emissions of equipment connected to low-voltage public supply systems. These limits ensure that individual devices do not contribute excessively to harmonic distortion on the power grid, which can lead to overheating in transformers, nuisance tripping of breakers, and interference with other equipment. The Vitrek PA900 Precision Power [...]

Did You Know? GaGe RazorMax Express Digitizer/Oscilloscope: An Efficient & Cost-Effective Tool for High-Energy Physics Particle Counting Applications

Introduction Figure 1. Examples of photo-mulitiplier tubes, or PMTs (Photo courtesy of Hamamatsu). An important category of experimental physics is nuclear and particle physics, a near synonym for high-energy physics. A broad range of experiments in this domain are classed as scattering experiments in which an incident particle hits a target and the resulting scattered particles are studied. Scattering processes can involve the creation or annihilation of particles. The modern approach to studying scattered particles is to employ particle detectors, devices that detect individual particles impinging upon them. This paper provides an overview of typical instruments [...]

Ultrasonic Tissue Characterization

Ultrasonic Tissue Characterization Customer Case This customer's application is Ultrasonic Tissue Characterization. Their ultrasonic sensors transmit 16 signals. The customer's requirement is to capture 512 points on the 16 channels, average them together, and then store the data in a buffer, with the system running continuously. They would like to be able to update the average buffer and recapture data as fast as possible. They would then like to log the data to disk or process the data and display an image on the screen. Since the signals coming in from their ultrasonic sensors are very weak, the customer [...]

Intra-Vascular Ultrasound

Intra-Vascular Ultrasound Customer Case The customer does intra-vascular diagnostic ultrasound. In this novel technique, an ultrasonic catheter is guided through a patient's blood vessel. Throughout its helical or corkscrew-like path, the ultrasonic transducer-tipped catheter emits bursts of ultrasonic energy. Reflections from the vessel wall return into the transducer and can be used to characterize such features as plaque deposits. The customer wishes to resolve features as small as 3 mm. The amount of time, D t, required for ultrasound to reflect off an interface that is a distance x away and return to the transducer is: D t = [...]
