Samtec SI/PI Capabilities Simplify Design and Accelerate Time-To-Market
Signal integrity (SI) and power integrity (PI) concepts confuse many seasoned engineers. Yet, they are both essential to modern, high-performance system architectures and system design. Designing for High-Speed "It's all about the signal channel!" That's it. That's the short and simple secret to SI. As an electrical engineer, PCB design or SI specialist, routing a signal from point A (say the transmitter) to point B (say a receiver) with as little attenuation as possible is the design … [Read more...]
Connectors for Surgical Equipment
There are times when all other forms of medical treatment must give way to surgery. Surgery is the physical treatment of patients to repair or even remove organs and tissues of the body, and therefore is amongst the riskiest of all fields of medicine. Surgical equipment is playing a range of roles in helping surgeons to provide the best care for patients. To ensure the best possible care for patients, doctors are always adapting and innovating in the field of surgery. Traditional … [Read more...]

Satellite Communications
Our armed forces need to be able to function in some of the most remote and desolate places on earth. Far from conventional infrastructure, and operating over wide areas, the military cannot depend on conventional wired systems or line-of-sight radio, and so rely on satellite communications. The Value of Satcom At the same time, the battlefield is a connected space. The machine-to-machine communications that are so fundamental to the Internet of Things (IoT) are becoming vital to … [Read more...]
