BACK CHANNEL — SWOT LAUNCH, RCMP NOT DOWN WITH CHINA, NO AM FOR EVS, AND MORE



By John Oncea, Editor

Back Channel presents the most captivating news and innovations in RF and
microwaves. This week, we look at KaRIN, the technology behind SWOT; the RCMP’s
suspension of radio communication installations due to Sinclair Technologies’
ties to China; why EV manufacturers are no longer going to install AM radios;
and more.

The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite — set to launch today at
6:46 a.m. EST from Space Launch Complex 4E at Vandenberg Space Force Base
— “promises to provide an extraordinary accounting of water over much of Earth’s
surface,” according to Jet Propulsion Laboratory. “Its measurements of fresh
water and the ocean will help researchers address some of the most pressing
climate questions of our time and help communities prepare for a warming world.
Making this possible is a scientific instrument called the Ka-band Radar
Interferometer (KaRIn).” MDPI — a member of the United Nations Global Compact
whose aim is to foster scientific exchange in all forms, across all disciplines
— notes the KaRIn instrument “is a single-pass synthetic aperture radar (SAR) …
that relies on very precise phase difference measurements between two spatially
distant antennas to estimate topography.” The MDPI article outlines some
analytical multipath models that were used for instrument design, performance
analysis, and mitigation of the multipath signal.

Sinclair Technologies — designer and manufacturer of antenna and RF signal
conditioning products, systems, and coverage solutions — has had its nearly
$550,000 contract for RCMP radio communications work suspended according to
Global News. The House of Commons industry and technology committee voted in
favor of a study into the deal because Sinclair’s parent company, Norsat
International, is owned by Hytera Communications, a company that the Chinese
government owns about 10% of. Hytera is blacklisted over national security
concerns by the United States Federal Communications Commission, according to
Global News. “We are aware of the concerns surrounding Sinclair Technologies. We
are investigating these procurements and how this equipment is used, alongside
counterparts in other government departments,” a DND spokesperson said last
Thursday. “The government will take all measures necessary to ensure the
security of our infrastructure.”

The ribbon has been cut on a $6 million, 12,000-square-foot Air Force Research
Laboratory (AFRL) building, according to the Dayton Daily News. “The facility
has 30 offices, a secure area, and a nearly 4,000-square-foot high bay
laboratory to enhance what AFRL calls its ‘world-class status as a leading HPEM
(High-Power Electromagnetic) science and technology organization.’” Located at
the Kirtland Air Force Base in New Mexico, the technology available to
researchers there is expected to “give warfighters a way to counter electronic
effects, improvised explosive devices, and weapons of mass destruction while
imposing low collateral damage.”

According to The New York Times (subscription required), carmakers “say
electromagnetic interference causes static and noise on AM transmissions” and as
a result will drop them from their build. Broadcasters fear such a move will
cause them to “lose a connection with their core listeners who rely on the radio
for emergencies.” According to The Motley Fool, “Some experts say the audio
problems should be simple to fix. Xperi engineer Pooja Nair told the NYT that
shielding cables, filters, and careful placement of electrical components in the
vehicle, should keep the interference to a minimum. But all that costs money and
it's easier to just drop the wavelength altogether, much to the chagrin of the
talk radio stars who make millions broadcasting to millions of listeners stuck
in their cars.”

ReaserchAndMarkets.com, according to Business Wire, expects the Global Track and
Trace Solutions Market size to reach $9.1 billion by 2028, rising at a market
growth of 11.1% CAGR during the forecast period. “T&T solutions are employed for
both personal and commercial purposes since they reduce gasoline and insurance
expenses, provide customer support, and deliver the most up-to-date information
via SMS or email notifications,” notes Business Wire. “Currently, they are
gaining popularity for monitoring the supply chain in various end-use sectors.
Track and trace systems aid healthcare businesses and organizations in managing
their supply chains effectively and mitigating the risks involved with
counterfeit medications. It is the procedure that identifies the current and
previous sites of a medicine.” The rising adoption of barcode and RFID
technologies is one of the factors cited as being responsible for this growth.

A multiband wave absorber for millimeter band frequencies has been developed
according to WhatTheyThink. When applied to walls, Toppan’s new absorber can be
used as an interior décor material and reduces signal interference and leakage
to enable greater safety and security for 5G and 6G communication environments.
“We have leveraged our wave absorber design, high-definition etching, and
converting technologies to address the challenges faced by conventional
solutions,” said Yasutaka Kikuchi, head of R&D at Toppan of Toppan’s Technical
Research Institute. “We are driving development and testing of materials and
spatial designs for enhanced communication environments because absorbers like
this will facilitate stable high-speed data transmission not just for 5G, but
also for anticipated 6G mobile systems.”
