Spectrum analyser and signal generator for X and K-band ... (Electronics Weekly)

Siglent has announced a spectrum analyser and a RF generator for use at 20GHz to support X and K-band measurement. SSA5085A (right) is the spectrum.

“It intuitively measures EVM, other transmission quality factors and features eye-diagram and constellation graphing modes,” said Siglent. The RF-microwave signal generator is the SSG5085A (left), which works up to 20GHz. SSA5085A (right) is the spectrum analyser, which works across 9kHz to 26.5GHz and offers -165dBm/Hz DANL and 105dBc/Hz phase noise, according to the company.

A candid view on installing a whole-home generator in 2022 (spacecityweather.com)

Like some of you I am sure, being stuck in a cold house with my wife, kids, and mother-in-law in the middle of the February 2021 freeze was the tipping ...

I also have confidence I can assist Eric in the event of a power-breaking storm! When we signed the contract in November, we were told that the process was going to be a bit delayed because of supplies. There are alternatives to keep the critical functions of your home up and running in the event of power loss. Now, say a generator is not in the cards for you. But it was a long road, and it certainly was not without a couple points of legitimate frustration. You don’t need to be an electrician or plumber to understand the whole process but ask questions and give the installers your attention. My goal in this post is to describe the process of having a whole-home generator installed in a 2022 world, sharing how my experience differed from The installation process itself was about a half-day effort involving your power being cut for a couple hours in that time. Also like many of you as a result of the pandemic, we were in the middle of reassessing our living decisions and space needs around that same time. That said, I think we have learned from recent disasters both here in Texas and along the Gulf Coast that if you are able to purchase a whole-home generator, it will likely be a worthy investment. Much like Eric did for his generator, and with his blessing, we used a portion of Reliant’s annual sponsorship to have a whole-home generator installed at the Lanza household. Like some of you I am sure, being stuck in a cold house with my wife, kids, and mother-in-law in the middle of the February 2021 freeze was the tipping point for us.

City of Hayward again named a top on-site generator of renewable ... (hayward-ca.gov)

For the fifth year in a row, the City of Hayward has made the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Top 30 List for on-site generators of renewable energy, ...

In total, the WPCF’s on-site generation powers more than 60 percent of the City’s municipal electricity needs. Most of the on-site generation occurs at Hayward’s Water Pollution Control Facility (WPCF), where a combination of solar panels and biogas collection provides electricity to City facilities. This year, Apple, The Procter & Gamble Company, and State of California topped the list in first, second, and third place.
