With flight delays at record levels, monitoring plane movement may become a more widespread hobby. AirNav Systems LLC decodes the Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast radar signals from planes, letting consumers see the same information used by air traffic controllers. The AirNav RadarBox Advanced Real Time ADS-B Radar Receiver 2 updates flight number, aircraft type, altitude, heading and speed once per second. A Microchip Technology Inc. dsPIC33FJ64GP306 is the core of the baseband demodulator circuit, using both a controller and DSP to process incoming data. The system also includes maps with more than 1 million locations, as well as detailed airport information such as runways.
Our LinkedIn systems and product design engineering group discusses if they are happy with their decision of remaining a technical contributor instead of becoming a manager.
Against a backdrop of mounting product complexity and a need to keep a lid on development costs, companies are recognizing a need to make simulation a more integral part of the design process. In response, vendors in the CAD world are building out CAE functionality as part of their CAD suites while simulation vendors are building tighter integrations to leading CAD tools. Keith Meintjes, Ph.D., Practice Manager, Simulation and Analysis at CIMdata, Inc., joins Design News CAD Editor Beth Stackpole in this radio program to explore the new face of integrated CAD and CAE, how companies are benefitting from this tighter partnership between platforms, and how integrating CAE earlier in the development cycle pays off in optimized product designs.
