In our first blog installment, we outlined the interference concerns surrounding the coexistence of the new C-band 5G telecom service spanning the band from 3.7 to 3.98 GHz with aviation radar altimeters. Radar altimeters are essential components for safety during landing and takeoff, as they offer precise measurements from… Read More





Leveraging Virtual Platforms to Shift-Left Software Development and System Verification
Ever since the cost of development started growing exponentially, engineering teams have been deploying a shift-left strategy to software development and system verification. While this has helped contain cost and accelerated product development schedules, a shift-left strategy is not without challenges. A virtual platform… Read More
5G and Aircraft Safety: Simulation is Key to Ensuring Passenger Safety
The new 5G C-band service is now up and running in the U.S., and subscribers are finally starting to see some of the promise of 5G. The new C-band services are primarily in spectrum allocations between 3 and 4 GHz, providing the wider channel allocation bandwidths necessary to deliver significantly higher data throughput. At the… Read More
Use Existing High Speed Interfaces for Silicon Test
The growth of complexity for silicon test as it relates to test data volume and test times is driven by multiple concurrent factors. One dimension is simply the increase in silicon complexity. However, other factors are playing a role as well. These include higher reliability requirements for new applications such as automotive,… Read More

5G Network Activation Update
As a pilot and semiconductor professional I was a bit shocked to get an Airworthiness Directive due to the 5G rollout. Airworthiness Directives are legally enforceable regulations issued by the FAA to correct an unsafe condition in a product:
“Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2021-23-12 was issued for all fleets in December… Read More
GM’s Super Duper Cruise
It’s one thing to lead an industry. It’s another to anticipate and meet a new challenge well ahead of competitors in an industry. It’s another thing, still, to solve a long-standing problem and receive barely a hint of credit.
Such is the case with General Motors’ semi-autonomous hands-free Super Cruise feature. While many
