News - Updates from the World of SPINNER

This new contactless GigE rotary transmission solution now makes it possible for SPINNER to supply products with an especially large inner diameter for dependably transmitting Ethernet protocols across a rotating interface. The joints feature a clear inner diameter of 300 mm and enable reliable Gigabit-Ethernet-LAN transmission. This isn’t possible with conventional sliprings or other technologies.

SPINNER has just released an important component for enabling the concurrent use of TDD and FDD in the 2600 MHz frequency band: our new diplexer BN 570761, which lets you combine bands 7 and 38 without any interference.

The scattering parameters of a device under test (DUT) are measured using a vector network analyzer (VNA). Before starting, however, the VNA should be calibrated applying a set of known calibration standards to identify and minimize systemic errors. Accurate calibration is a must for reliable results.

It’s a major challenge to get optical system components, which typically have low input levels, to work well with conventional radio stations with their high output levels. The time has come for the new, innovative SPINNER RF Power Protector with its globally unique functionality!

The data volumes transmitted by rotating systems in industrial facilities are steadily growing. Users’ expectations are also increasing – not only regarding performance and transmission quality, but also where the reliability of machines is concerned. In many cases, independently of the rotational speeds involved, they need to be able to operate reliably 24/7 without any interruptions.

SPINNER produces components for automated tests that let users significantly reduce both work and costs. Supplementing its highly successful Easy Dock adapters, it is now also supplying low-PIM switches for test applications up to 6 GHz.

A surprisingly large share of low PIM RF component testing is still done manually. But there is enormous potential for reducing both labor and costs.

The data volumes handled by mobile communication systems have been growing exponentially in recent years and are expected to continue multiplying in the years ahead. The need for ever-faster transmission rates, lower latencies, and larger network capacities can only be met with new technologies such as 5G.

SPINNER has enlarged its portfolio of fiber-optic rotary joints with a new record-setting version with no fewer than 109 channels. This new model is ideally suited for use in offshore and FPSO applications (see below) while delivering clear competitive advantages.

The idea of supplementing 5G broadband cellular networks with a broadcasting mode is rapidly catching on around the world. Alongside the option of directly addressing multiple recipients in mobile cells, enthusiasm about creating a high-power, high-tower overlay network has been growing. This paves the way for broadcast or multicast signals with an enormous range.
