PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT
Inertial Navigation System
Point One Navigation, San Francisco, CA, has introduced
the Atlas Inertial Navigation System (INS). Atlas represents a
leap forward in real-time precision location technology, offering
increased accuracy and affordability to autonomous
vehicles, mapping, and other applications. Through a tight integration of highly accurate,
low cost GNSS receiver and IMU with the Polaris RTK corrections network and
Sensor Fusion algorithms, Point One has brought down hardware cost dramatically
without sacrificing accuracy or precision.

High Temperature LVDTs
NewTek Sensor Solutions, Pennsauken, NJ, is offering several
LVDTs with an extended 400 °F temperature range for use in
applications where temperature spikes are possible. The hightemp,
AC-operated position transducers ensure reliable position
measurement, without failure in applications with fluctuating
temperatures. For example, standard-temperature position sensors used on steam
valves may unexpectedly fail when the valve is in motion, due to temperature spikes
caused by steam leaks.

Fiber Optic Rotary Joint
Orbex Group, Austin, TX, has announced its 700 Series
of fiber optic rotary joint (FORJ) assemblies, supporting either
single- or multi-mode operation with options for wavelengths
of 1310 or 1550 nanometers. They feature an outer
diameter of 7 millimeters for installation in tight spaces, insertion loss of less than 2
decibels, and a return loss greater than 30 decibels - making them ideal for highspeed
digital transmissions over long distances.

Miniature High-Pass Filters
The new HP Series high-pass thin-film filters from KYOCERA
AVX, Fountain Inn, SC, are based on proven multilayer
integrated thin-film technology that enables the quick adjustment
of RF parameters and development of custom filters.
They exhibit reliable and repeatable high-frequency performance as well as low insertion
losses, extremely sharp roll-off values, and steep attenuation. They are rated for
operating frequencies spanning 1.0 GHz to 5.15 GHz and operating temperatures
extending from -40 °C to +85 °C.

Silicon Carbide Half Bridge Power Module
Solitron Devices, West Palm Beach, FL, is introducing the
SD11487 hermetically sealed Silicon Carbide (SiC) Power
Module for high reliability applications. The integrated format
maximizes power density while minimizing loop inductance.
The package includes two 1200V, 12 mΩ SiC MOSFETs,
two freewheeling 1200V SiC Schottky diodes in parallel with the MOSFETs and an
integrated NTC temperature sensor. Continuous drain current is specified at 95 A.

CMOS Image Sensors
Teledyne e2v, Grenoble, France, announces EmeraldTM
Gen2, its
new state-of-the-art CMOS image sensor family. Built on Teledyne e2v's
advanced imaging technologies, this new family delivers enhanced
performance, making the new sensors ideal for a wide range of machine
vision uses, outdoor surveillance, and traffic detection, and monitoring cameras. It
is available in 8.9 megapixels (4,096 × 2,160) or 12 megapixels (4,096 × 3,072), in monochrome
or color, and in two speed grades, standard and high.

WITHSTANDS
THERMAL CYCLING
Master Bond EP17TF is a onepart
epoxy with a paste consistency,
that can be readily
dispensed evenly and uniformly. It has a moderately
high glass transition temperature (Tg) of 150-155 °C
and a wide service temperature range from -150 °F
to +550 °F. Designed to compensate for thermal mismatches,
this compound resists impact, vibration,
shock and rigorous thermal cycling. https://www.
