Understanding the Automotive SENT Protocol Explained
Jun 28, 2024 · The Single Edge Nibble Transmission (SENT) protocol defines an approach to data communications in accordance with the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) J2716 standard. SENT provides a rugged, low-cost way of transmitting high-resolution data from a sensor to an engine control unit (ECU) or another controller.
Basics of understanding signal jamming: What you need to know
Mar 6, 2019 · Many of the sophisticated advances in signal jamming arose from work with radar. So it is useful to start with a review of a few radar fundamentals. The idea of radar, of course, is that a target reflects some of the energy of a transmitted signal. The returned energy is received and processed to detect the target and extract its location and ...
The basics: What is EMC? - Electrical Engineering News and Products
Jan 12, 2022 · EMC stands for Electromagnetic compatibility, which means that a device is compatible with (i.e., no interference is caused by) its electromagnetic (EM) environment. It does not emit levels of EM energy that generate electromagnetic interference (EMI) in other devices in the vicinity. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) is the interference ...
MIM/MOM capacitor extraction boosts analog and RF designs
Apr 29, 2020 · MIM/MOM capacitors. Metal-insulator-metal (MIM) and metal-oxide-metal (MOM) capacitors are widely used in analog/RF designs because of their desirable characteristics: High-capacity density due to minimum width and spacing of metals. Good matching characteristics due to lateral coupling. Symmetric plate design.

The electromagnetic rail aircraft launch system: Objectives and …
Jun 11, 2019 · Now, a long-awaited replacement which is based on a radically new approach called the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) is closer to full tests and eventual deployment, using an electromagnetic “rail gun” to launch/arrest aircraft. The development has been long and troubled, and there is no assurance it will succeed.
An Inside Look At The Automotive Ethernet Protocol
Aug 6, 2018 · Automotive Ethernet provides higher bandwidth data transmissions compared with LIN (19.2 kb/s), CAN FD (15 Mb/s), FlexRay (10 Mb/s), and MOST (25, 50, or 150 Mb/s shared). The LIN protocol really only sees usage for very low-bandwidth applications controlling body electronics such as windows or lights. CAN and/or CAN FD offers a flexible data ...
