Metrology Podcast May 20th is a special day - World Metrology Day! Get a bit of history and learn about all things metrology when you join Daniel Bogdanoff, Bob Stern, and Chris Cox in this special Metrology Day electrical engineering podcast! App note mentioned by Bob: https://bit.ly/DecisionRules More about Keysight metrology, calibration, and services: https://www.keysight.com/find/metrology Topics and time tags: 0:00 World metrology day, and a brief history of the meter and the ohm 2:00 Keysight University has FREE test gear courses! 2:45 Bob Stern, Keysight Metrologist Chris Cox, Keysight Regional Metrologist 4:30 Why does metrology matter? How does it impact us? The global economy relies on a consistency of measurement and test, which is why metrology is important. It allows measurements made in one country to be used and replicated in other countries. 7:25 Metrology and measurement traceability is important. An unbroken chain of traceability is one of the key components of me...
New tunneling modes, the scoop on plugfests, and 40 Gbps! Get the FREE! Tech Tip eBook about testing 6 emerging technolgy standards: http://bit.ly/PodcastTechTrends Subscribe on YouTube ► http://bit.ly/KeysPodcastSub ◄ It feels like USB 3.2 just came out, but USB4 is HERE! With USB4, gone are the days of wondering what's behind that USB Type-C connector - all the functionality is mandatory. And, you get double the speed! 40 Gbps over two 20 Gpbs lines keeps Moore's law happy (which makes us happy). Find out more in today's podcast with Jit Lim, Mike Hoffman, and Daniel Bogdanoff.

Brig Asay, Melissa, and Daniel Bogdanoff sit down to answer the internet's questions about the new 110 GHz UXR oscilloscope. How long did it take? What did it cost? Find out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GxotFVQ8HE Some of the questions & comments S K on YouTube: How long does it take to engineer something like this? With custom ASICs all over the place and what not… Glitch on YouTube: Can you make a budget version of it for $99? Steve Sousa on YouTube: But how do you test the test instrument?? It's already so massively difficult to make this, how can you measure and qualify it's gain, linearity etc? TechNiqueBeatz on YouTube: About halfway through the video now.. what would the practical application(s) of an oscilloscope like this be? Alberto Vaudagna on YouTube: Do you know what happen to the data after the dsp? It go to the CPU motherboard and processed by the CPU or the data is overlayed on the screen and the gui is runner's by the CPU? How does a piece of equipment like th...
USB 3.2 DOUBLES the data transfer capabilities of previous USB specifications, and could mean the end of having USB ports on just one side of your computer. Find out more in today's electrical engineering podcast with Jit Lim, Daniel Bogdanoff, and Mike Hoffman. https://youtu.be/VEx6b6_XecI 1:00 Jit is the USB and Thunderbolt lead for Keysight. 1:30 USB 3.2 specifications were released Fall 2017 and released two main capabilities. USB 3.2 doubles the performance of USB 3.1. You can now run 10Gb/s x2. It uses both sides of the CC connector. In the x2 mode, both sides of the connectors are used instead of just one. 4:00 The other new part of USB 3.2 is that it adds the ability to have the USB silicon farther away from the port. It achieves this using retimers, which makes up for the lossy transmission channel. 5:00 Why laptops only have USB ports on one side! The USB silicon has to be close to the connector. 6:30 If the silicon is 5 or 6 inches away from the connector, it will fail th...

When power systems get ridiculous... Power goes way beyond basic bench power supplies. Daniel Bogdanoff sits down with Chris Cain to explore femtoamp measurements, 100 kV multi-quadrant regenerative power systems, noise, and space-borne solar arrays in this EEs Talk Tech electrical engineering podcast! Audio: Learn more about the Keysight RP7900 regenerative power systems (RPS) and the Keysight CX3300 Dynamic Current Analyzers 0:17 Recording from New Jersey with Chris Cain, who manages teams for electronic industrial products, like power, DMMs, function generators, DAQs, board test, etc. 1:15 Current analyzer behind us measures FEMTOAMPERES of current. This is useful for RF and IoT systems. 4:20 Chris’s most spectacular equipment failure – a new engineer put their electrolytics in backwards 6:30 For extra large electrolytic capacitors people design vent holes in PCB 8:15 High power power supplies. 5kW and 10 kW power supplies 9:00 Two quadrant power supplies vs. one quadrant power...
5G means business. With wired speeds coming in over the air, designers are turning to new wireless techniques like beamforming, MIMO, and advanced tower synchonization designed to pump you full of bits. Find out more as Daniel Bogdanoff sits down with Brig Asay and Joe Haver to discuss the changing wireless ecosystem of tomorrow. Audio: Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XX0r22fSBwI 1:00 4G was sub 6 GHz, but 5G is much higher frequencies (24 GHz, 28 GHz, 39 GHz, and above 50 GHz) 2:15 4G test strategies: simple source and a middle-of-the-line signal analyzer. There were also some combo boxes that were both signal sources and signal analyzers. 4:00 5G testing requires more powerful setups. There are still generators, but they have to be more powerful. FR2, 100 MHz, 200 MHz, 400 MHz wide bands make things more complicated. Chambers and OTA (over the air) testing and MIMO systems make things much more complicated. And, a 5G system has to cover all of these ranges. 5:30 MIMO for 5G...

Space requires new technologies. Much like the space race of the 1950s, engineers are feverishly working to gain a competitive advantage. Mark Lombardi sits down to explore rad hardening, thermal vacuum chambers, space mining, CubeSats, and battery technology. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTi_LMNZ708 Mark Lombardi - 25 years at HP/Agilent/Keysight. He worked for RT logic for a few years, where he got into space. 2:00 - Your odds of survival getting to space are better than getting to the top of Everest. 2:30 - Space mining from the Asteroid belt has the potential to create the worlds first trillionaire. 3:20 - We need to establish manufacturing in space. For example, what if you manufactured satellites on the moon instead of on earth? 4:00 - The main driver is price-per-pound 6:10 - The Space Force - it sounds a little silly at first but is very reasonable when you take a closer look. 7:45 - How do you test objects bound for space? 8:30 - Space is transitioning from government-on...
