Pulsed energy drives a wide range of high-energy applications, from particle acceleration to fusion research and electromagnetic pulse (EMP) simulation. Marx generators play a critical role in generating those high-voltage pulses by amplifying lower voltage DC inputs.

Capacitors are essential passive components for designing any electrical circuit. But there are so many options to choose from with a wide range of specifications that it can be overwhelming to determine what capacitor may be the best fit for your application.

Knowles balanced armature technology helps power boAt’s flagship Nirvana X earbuds, delivering high-resolution audio with exceptional clarity, detail, and personalized sound.

To protect electrical grids from overloads and faults, utility companies can incorporate reclosers. When a fault occurs, this high-voltage circuit breaker automatically closes to isolate the faulty sections of the grid, allowing other areas of the grid to continue to operate safely.

At Knowles, we have more than 40 years of experience developing high-performance, high-reliability components for military applications. Our US-based manufacturing facilities adhere to the highest military-grade quality and reliability standards so our components can be used in sophisticated, secure military and aerospace systems.

This past year, Knowles took bold strides in our journey to become an industrial technology company dedicated to providing customers with the high-performance parts required for their most demanding applications.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a powerful diagnostic tool for generating detailed images of the body using advanced physics and engineering. Here, we’ll cover the interplay between the two fields and the RF innovations driving MRI advancements.

With more and more mission-critical systems relying on electrical power, consistent and reliable backup power is essential to ensure uninterrupted operation.

Standards are a form of technical infrastructure, and their influence is felt throughout the electronics industry. For example, formed in 1924, the Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) was an American standards organization that established an alliance of trade associations in the United States electronics manufacturing industry.

In 2024, our experts were dedicated to breaking down engineering fundamentals and exploring the latest industry trends and challenges. We hope you’ve found our insights and guidance helpful throughout the year, and we’re grateful for your continued trust and readership.

Electronic warfare (EW) systems are an increasingly critical component of modern warfare. They seek to control and exploit the electromagnetic spectrum to gain an advantage over adversaries while preventing them from reciprocating.

As a manufacturer of custom ceramics for thin-film circuit development for more than four decades, we are highly familiar with all the complexities involved in working with these materials to build a variety of circuits.
