Extended-Life, Large Enclosure EMI Gasket

Omega Shielding Products’ extreme-duty 99-840 finger stock is a highly-effective EMI shielding gasket engineered for large enclosures that commonly have significant gap fluctuations between mating surfaces. This low compression force gasket provides a dynamic deflection range of .25" (6,4mm) and easily installs on most enclosure panels with a clip-on lance.

An optional “C” style retaining lance is also available to provide additional grip for applications that experience repeated compressions or when assurance against omni-directional slippage is desired. The gasket is in-stock with a bright finish and can also be ordered with one of 10 surface finish and plating options.

Oscilloscope-Based DDR3 Compliance Software

Agilent Technologies Inc. is offering the industry’s first oscilloscope-based DDR3 compliance test application. This tool is ideal for engineers working in the computer, data storage, electronic data processing and consumer electronics industries. The Agilent U7231A DDR3 test application, which runs on Infiniium 54850 and 80000 Series oscilloscopes, provides DDR3 compliance measurements based on the Joint Electronic Device Engineering Council (JEDEC) JESD79-3 DDR3 SDRAM specifications. It covers clock, electrical and timing parameters.

Tektronix Real-Time Spectrum Analyzers

The Tektronix Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer (RTSA) models can dramatically speed up searches for low-level spurious signals over wide frequency spans. In some cases, the measurement speed can be improved by a factor on the order of 100. This speed improvement results from the much faster acquisition method used by a RTSA compared to a swept spectrum analyzer. A swept analyzer must measure the power in the resolution bandwidth (RBW) filter at each measurement frequency, which in general requires a time of at least 1/RBW second. Then the swept analyzer must hop to the next frequency, usually no more than half the RBW, and make the next measurement.
