I have a RF cable placed inside a tube which blind mates with the mating connector located on a back wall, and It's difficult to secure the cable, I can only push it in, no mechanical connection other than tynes and spring blindmate contact. I don't want the cable to move during travel. I'm...
We have a hard-anodized aluminum 6061 tube (5" long x 1" diam.) to bond to a pair of 1 inch wide U shaped clamps across the tube at each end. The clamps hold the tube to a flat metal surface of 6061 aluminum.
The clamps are machined out of untreated 5052 aluminum.
Need a tough epoxy for a room...
Now that pitot tube icing has been confirmed, were the pilots pulling up to slow their speed?
Why don't pilots carry an aircraft capable GPS with them in the cockpit to see their ground speed? I say aircraft capable because one pilot I knew bought a $120 GPS that had a software load which...
I'd like to paste a set of data (an array of data) to a worksheet and have it automatically change the color in each cell of the worksheet to show pass fail and close to spec. i.e. a quick color chart.
Hence a large table of measured data in one worksheet can be compared to the spec...
Anyone here been involved in SatCom transceiver design in the recent past. Looking for some answers and guidance on receiver technology for processing satellite signals in the 7.2-8.4 gHz band for on the move vehicles.
Thanks

I have a proposal that needs to sense the forces on a wing due to air turbulence which either enhances or degrades wing lift.
If I placed many sensors on top and bottom of the wing measuring the force applied to these spots (capacitance change due to air pressure, not G force acceleration), can...
has anyone been involved in making a Cube Satellite., they are tiny 10 centimeter cubes (2.5" on a side)?
There's a program requesting low frequency antennas of very high gain at 300 mHz and I'm curious how one would attach a spring loaded antenna to these cubes, or what the mechanism to...
Sunday, a Piper Commanche 260 flew over me on the golf course and sputtered in my backswing, I pushed the ball right. He had a rough landing on the 101 freeway while I landed in the rough too (thankfully the pilot and I were both uninjured, as I parred the hole). The pilot overhead was at about...
has anyone done this and could give me a quick overview. I've looked it up on Agilents website, but it's not clear how to use the floppy disk.
seems like it should be simple, and it is on the 8510, I've done that recently. But the older 8753 isn't that simple.
thanks,

Can anyone suggest an acoustic sensor reference.
We are about to implement an array of acoustic air sensors in a housing and I'd like information regarding improving/optimizing sensor efficiencies.
I'm wondering if sensors should be isolated in the air, or maybe potted in the housing, i.e...
We have a company that uses a silkscreen process to apply a soldermask Taiyo BN4000. They state thickness control from 1/2 mil to 1.5 mil due to the silkscreen process. We'd like a tighter control (I know, that's picky, read on).
Question 1) Does this sound like a normal thickness control...
Does anyone know a source for parabolic antennas. To be used on an outdoor test range, high wind areas.
I found Andrew and MITechnologies. Haven't asked MITech yet, but Andrew won't sell the reflectors without buying the feeds, we'd like to purchase reflectors only. Any hint if Andrew makes...
A question on improving the efficiency of electric motors, either dc or ac motors.
While visiting a university last year, I was shown that flowing ferrite particles in a tube through an inductor changes it's inductance. Most people realize that varying the magnetic core internal to any...
Does anyone know of a low power metal detection device. We'd like to put this in a parking space mounted in a metal box on the ground, and when a car moves into the space, sense that a car is present. It has to be located outside in the rain and snow, sleet and oil (from cars leaking).
It's a...
Is anyone familiar with lightning warning protection systems.
My brother is a golf pro in Florida and they just added a Thorguard systems that went off at 7 am and didn't give the all clear until 2 pm and no lightning strikes occurred.
Just curious if there is someone with expertise out there...
Hopefully Op Amp users can assist me,
who makes the highest frequency Op Amp out there? I plan to put RF through it, so slew rate per se isn't important, just highest frequency spec. Low power too.
Hoping for frequencies in the GHz band. i need to make negative capacitors and negative...
Maybe someone can help me find this antenna. I read the info off the antenna. I know BAE purchased Marconi. I wrote to them and haven't heard back.
It's a 0.5-6 GHz dual ridged horn antenna. 12"x20" aperture size.
The internet seems easy to find things, but not always.
Thanks,

Has anyone experience with active matching of low frequency electrically small antennas (low freq = 0.1-50 MHz ballpark) (electrically small, less than 0.1 wavelengths).
Called non-Foster matching circuits, op-amps are sometimes used to make negative capacitors and negative inductors to tune...
Maybe someone could point out a good reference book on RF via's and give some general guidance on RF plated thru holes (via's).
I plan on using Rogers Duroid 5880 or similar microwave dielectric. Thickness, 30, 60, 100 mils.
Questions;
1) what is the length/diameter ratio typically used as a...
