poWell electronics sponsors the inmotion student team
As well as equipment, Tektronix was also chosen for the
Eindhoven University of Technology for the ‘Revolution’ race car project. InMotion’s mission is to make charging an electric car as fast and
P
convenient as refueling a petrol car. The team receives both technical expertise and high-quality connectors from Powell Electronics. The new ‘Revolution’ race car will be used as a platform to showcase and test InMotion’s fast charging technology. Latest tests have shown that recharging the car takes only 12 minutes. The ‘Revolution’ car will be competing in the Le Mans 24 hours race in 2023 as the first fully electric endurance racecar. Gary Evans, European MD of Powell Electronics: commented:
“We really like InMotion’s ‘Revolution’ race car project and are very happy to sponsor it. Charging times are one of the key problems that still keeps people from using an electric vehicle and we hope InMotion will be successful with their current project and that it will bring them a step closer to achieving their main goal”

owell Electronics, the supplier of connectors and more for high-rel applications including defence, aerospace and industrial, has announced its sponsorship of the InMotion student team of the
engineering support it could offer through its engineers. “We were pleased to have found Tektronix, as access to their technical experts made our team feel safe and supported. Particularly the possibility to scale up the system by synchronising multiple instruments is crucial for the research on THz MIMO communication” says Pfeiffer. “Working with the global team of Tektronix engineers in this cooperative way, we feel we can really unlock the ‘magic’ in Tektronix solutions. We expect the cooperation with Tektronix to produce many breakthrough results.” Maria Heriz, vice president commercial operations EMEAI,
commented, “Engineering the Future is Tektronix’s motto and every day we enable our customers to develop new technology. With the University of Wuppertal, we take pride to support and enable Prof. Dr. Pfeiffer and his team to develop advanced 6G technology, that will touch every part of our society – socially and commercially; may it be autonomous driving, remote rescue and medical applications, which require the highest resolution 360° video transmission, IoT devices with much quicker data throughput, or smart cities. Such cutting-edge research to develop new underlying technology demands complex, fast and reliable test and measurement equipment that is tailor-made for the research conducted to enable the future of wireless technology. We wish this Key Researchers Team every success and Tektronix will stay close supporting them.”

Wuppertal university chooses tektronix to develop 6G technoloGy
W
uppertal University in Germany has chosen Tektronix instrumentation to help it develop innovative and capable new technologies that will underpin 6G networks.
The project will develop components that allow higher data
throughputs for 6G, while also cutting the latency of networks to allow applications, such as autonomous driving and remote surgery, with haptic feedback. Led by Prof. Dr. Ullrich Pfeiffer, the project team was looking for
instrumentation that could demonstrate the best vertical resolution, the best residual Error Vector Magnitude (EVM), a large memory and the ability to synchronise multiple instruments. After careful consideration of vendors, Pfeiffer and his team settled on Tektronix. The scope of supply encompassed six DPO77001SX 70GHz
Oscilloscopes, six AWG70001B 50 GSa/s Arbitrary Waveform Generators, three AWG Synch Hubs, three SignalVuPC Vector Signal Analysis Software, three SourceXpress Waveform Generation Software, and two water cooled 19” Racks supplied by system integrator ATV (Automatisierungstechnik Voigt GmbH) to reduce acoustic noise and improve thermal stability. The Tektronix solutions offer synchronisation between instruments and the ability to add new capabilities through their modular construction.
