The Role of Capacitors in Variable Frequency Drives and Modern Motor Control
Sep 24, 2025
Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) are an essential part of modern motor controller design, enabling precise regulation of AC motor speed and torque. They operate by converting fixed-frequency AC power from the grid into DC, then inverting it back into AC at the desired frequency and voltage.
Supporting RF Systems Using the CDL Protocol
Sep 17, 2025
Common Data Link (CDL) is a secure U.S. military communications protocol. Established by the Department of Defense (DoD) in 1991, CDL is the primary standard for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) data transmission, enabling full-duplex, jam-resistant digital communications between airborne platforms, ground stations, and naval vessels.
