IoT can be described as the “wild west” of the RF world as it is an expanding frontier with a diverse array of technologies and multiple standards from different organizations, bringing challenges for embedded developers. However, it’s crucial that developers have confidence in their chipsets, modul...

FACE Technical Standard, Solving Portability and Affordability Challenges in Avionics. Currently about 70% to 90% of aircraft avionics capability is implemented in software. That level is unaffordable and unsustainable. The Future Airborne Capability Environment (FACE) Technical Standard was develop...

ADAS, AI, and autonomous vehicles are lumped together, for good reason; they all feed off one another. Can one advance without the other? Probably, but not nearly as seamlessly. This webinar will look at each of these elements separately, but then dive in on how they need to operate cohesively.

The connected factory vision involves organizing the factory floor, IT, and business systems to optimize efficiency, reduce risk, increase agility, and spark innovation. This vision requires a new level of interoperability between factory, IT, and business operations. Machines must be integrated. So...

Advances in embedded electronics, such as hardware miniaturization, have allowed for substantial increases in processing power, tighter integration of peripherals and savings in power consumption. These advances have enabled innovations like assisted driving and electrification in cars, and intensiv...

Autonomous vehicle system software is becoming more complex as we move towards greater levels of autonomy. Moving from one level of autonomy to the next requires an increase in the complexity of the system software by a factor of 10x or more. How do we build the right system software architecture th...

Reduced size, weight, and power - cost (SWaP-C) describe nearly every military program’s requirements for electronics — be they tech refreshes or new Radar designs. System integrators want solutions with increased performance, lower power, and lower costs and they want them in the same or smaller fo...

Choosing the right architecture for highly and fully automotive driving is a bet on the future of the industry and the success of your company. Where speed to market is critical, a platform that supports rapid development, a wide variety of future use cases and massive data flows is imperative. You...

Autonomy will profoundly reshape the automotive competitive landscape. For decades, traditional OEMs competed on driver experience, engine performance, styling and cost. In a world with no drivers, no engines and no car ownership, none of these factors matter. Worse, rather than lowering costs, form...

With the global pandemic changing lives, our healthcare system is pushed to adapt and evolve – faster than ever. Through the combination of telecommunication and healthcare, the demand and necessity of telehealth is rapidly growing and changing the virtual care dynamic among healthcare providers and...

The Sensor Open System Architecture (SOSA) Consortium — led by the Air Force, Army, and Navy — reduces costs and development time by applying open-architecture principles in a practical and consensus-driven way for new C4ISR, radar, and electronic warfare platforms. The strong ecosystem behind VITA...

From devices for very sensitive power applications to those used for applications such as LiDAR time-of-flight, signal-chain amplifiers bring benefits across a wide range of designs.

Modern and future avionics systems for commercial and military applications are based on open architectures and will be leveraging reuse of hardware and software elements via common interfaces for hardware and common application programming interfaces (APIs) for software. Driving this trend are Init...

The FDA is increasing its focus on cybersecurity in medical devices and hospital systems. At the same time, technical trends like IoT connectivity, Machine Learning, and Artificial Intelligence are increasing the attack surface of these devices and systems. The medical industry is joining other indu...

In the medical, rail, aviation, industrial and vehicle sectors, embedded device failure can lead to human injury or damage to the environment. The international standards that outlined functional safety best practices were first written over 30 years ago and, as technologies and the hardware systems...

Certification authorities and industry suppliers have invested in numerous studies and discussions over recent years to identify the issues multicore processors pose for safety critical systems. Formalized positions of these efforts are the FAA CAST-32A Positioning Paper. The crux of this paper (r...

Industrial Drives are used in a variety of environments that expose the semiconductors used in the drives to harsh gases in addition to needing to last extended lifetimes. Currently, the most commonly used semiconductor power modules are gel-filled that experience reliability and robustness issues...

The automotive industry has already embraced virtualization in digital cockpit designs and driver assistance modules. The massive cloud computing market emerged due to the potential found in virtualization technology. However, the traditional embedded markets of industrial control and medical device...

Once the realm of science fiction, directed energy weapons – laser, RF, sonic, etc. – are becoming a key element for military forces worldwide. They will be force multipliers on the battlefield, but they still present many technological hurdles for designers to overcome – especially with managing po...

As the data generated by IoT devices grows exponentially, the broadband infrastructures is not keeping up. How do we navigate through all this? We can bring together applications with networking and storage platforms closer to the world of the IoT.

IoT systems tend to be thought of as a “clean slate” environment where historical systems have no bearing. This couldn’t be further from the truth when considering Industrial IoT. IIoT must be an extension of the existing industrial systems in order to enable a new business model without disrupting...

The modern field-training paradigm requires rapidly deployable, secure simulated environments. Modeling, Simulation, and Training (MS and T) systems need to be assembled and reconfigured in an agile manner from ready-made, commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components with response times closely match...

Intelligent and connected cars are growing in sophistication, thanks to technologies like the IoT and advanced wide-bandgap semiconductors.
