Accelerometers turn motion into measurable signals. From tilt and vibration to g-forces, they underpin countless designs. In this “Fun with Fundamentals” entry, we demystify their operation and take a ...

ABSTRACT: Certain expectations are outlined for a young professional with a recently earned doctoral degree. In academia, it is anticipated that graduates will demonstrate the ability to obtain ...

Smartphones rely on multiple sensors—such as the accelerometer, gyroscope, compass, and proximity sensor—to power everyday features. From screen rotation and navigation apps to motion tracking and ...

Gamma-ray imagers with coded apertures have a finite field of view (FOV) within which an image of a source can be generated. A “FOV scan” is a facet of imager calibration procedure that involves ...

The approach uses a calibration circuit included in the measurement circuitry, along with careful characterization of the RF paths after the calibration plane to account for the parasitic impedances.

A squad of 35 male professional National Rugby League (NRL) players (age: 26.0 ± 3.4 years; height 187.8 ± 6.4 cm; weight 98.7 ± 9.7 kg) wore inertial measurements units (Vector S7, firmware; 8.1, ...

The importance of calibration for all electronic test equipment. The main reason why such equipment must be regularly calibrated. The pros and cons of self-calibration or using outside services. It’s ...
