Ultraviolet laser detector technology deployed on ESA’s Aeolus Satellite

Teledyne e2v, a part of the Teledyne Imaging Group, has provided a key component for the highly customised ultraviolet laser detector for the Atmospheric Laser Doppler Instrument (ALADIN) on the European Space Agency’s Aeolus Satellite which launched yesterday.

Can test engineers keep up? Be equipped for the fast pace of innovation

There is a revolution happening within the automotive industry. As cars are becoming smarter and more reliant on software, testing and validating these modern vehicles is becoming even more crucial.

Optimising EMC test efficiency

Before the majority of finished electrical and electronic products can carry the CE marking and be sold in the European Union, one of the directives with which they must comply is the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive 2014/30/EU.

As DC power distribution becomes increasingly complex, knowing how to get the best from measurement equipment is becoming more important to assess power quality and design suitable filters.
7 reasons every autonomous vehicle needs an accurate IMU(03/08/2018)

An inertial measurement unit (IMU) is a device that directly measures the three linear acceleration components and the three rotational rate components (6-DOF) of a vehicle. An IMU is unique among the sensors typically found in an autonomous vehicle because an IMU requires no connection or knowledge of the external world.
