Panthronics Introduces Single-Chip Solution for NFC Wireless Battery Charging

Panthronics AG has released the industry’s first integrated, single-chip solution for the listener circuit in NFC wireless charging systems. The PTX30W is an integrated solution that is easier to implement than a circuit made of multiple discrete components. The fully autonomous chipset runs an NFC Forum-derived wireless charging protocol that supports power negotiation. This means that the PTX30W […]

Army asks industry for new electro-optical means to merge targeting for laser and conventional weapons 

FORT BELVOIR, Va. – U.S. Army targeting experts are reaching out to industry for new ways of designing electro-optical beam director gimbals that merge high-energy laser targeting capability with conventional targeting capability. Officials of the Army Rapid Capabilities and Critical Technologies Office (RCCTO) at Fort Belvoir, Va., released a request for information (W50RAJ-23-RFI-NBD) on Tuesday […]

The technological challenges of complex missile defense 

NASHUA, N.H. – Today’s long-range missiles require long-range defenses. Missile defense is a broad term for a wide variety of technologies and techniques. With some differences in place depending on the altitude of the threat, today’s missile defense is in effect an electronic blanket over ally nations.

Shrinking the footprint of IR photodetectors

Extreme miniaturization of infrared (IR) detectors is critical for their integration into next-generation consumer electronics, wearables and ultra-small satellites. To date, however, IR detectors have relied on bulky, high-cost materials and technologies. The trend toward ultracompact designs is supported by the development of a cost-effective miniaturization process for IR spectrometers based on a quantum dot […]
