Anatech October Newsletter: WiLo = WiFi + LoRa

Anatech Electronics October 2024 Newsletter - RF CafeSam Benzacar, of Anatech Electronics, an RF and microwave filter company, has published his October 2024 newsletter that, along with timely news items, features his short op-ed entitled "WiLo Combines the Best of Wi-Fi and LoRa." His opening statement asserting that WiLo is so new that there is not even a Wikipedia entry for it yet of course caused me to immediately verify the veracity of the claim. In fact, there is an entry for WiLo, but it is not the long new range wireless standard; it is about a company named Wilo [SE], a European manufacturer of pumps and pump systems for the building technology, water and industrial sectors. The "WiLo" Sam writes of is a long range wireless connectivity scheme which combines features of Wi-Fi and LoRA. I took the liberty of generating an AI-generated description of the WiLo communications standard (and even created a logo for it). As always, Sams insights on the wireless industry are quite significant. His company, Anatech, has a vested interest in keeping abreast of all new wireless technologies since Anatech makes filters for them. Also included in the newsletter are updates on industry happenings on Sat-to-Cell service, the ongoing maximum of the sunspot cycle (#25), and DARPA's GRYPHON oscillator program.

Blog: Imagers Identify Thermal Issues

Axiom Test Equipment Blog: Imagers Identify Thermal Issues - RF CafeTranscat | Axiom Test Equipment, an electronic test equipment rental company has published a new blog post that covers how thermal imagers can be used to detect temperature overloads in electrical and mechanical equipment, and what to look for when selecting the one for your project. Electronic performance is affected by temperature, with heat sources inside and outside a device or system. High-power amplifiers exhibit rises in temperature from the heat of semiconductors and must be equipped with cooling for safety and longevity. Other electronic designs can suffer performance degradations when placed too close to heat sources or even when exposed to sunlight. Fortunately, the temperatures of electronic equipment can be measured quickly and accurately without making physical contact, with the aid of infrared (IR) temperature sensors and cameras among other tools. Choosing a thermal imaging camera...
