What made you select MRC Components Nanocrystalline Power Ferrites as a product to feature? Increased efficiency does not require new designs. When resources are restricted, companies are hesitant to change established designs to meet the expectations of increasing efficiency. In the short term, a design adjustment does not have to be made to increase the efficiency of existing filters; it can also be done without putting in a lot of effort. Simply replacing individual components can increase efficiency effectively without having to adjust the associated parameters in the filter. With nanocrystalline strip material, the magnetic and mechanical setting can be…

In this two-part series, we’ll explore how we receive entertainment programming and connect to the world via the Internet. Part 1 will focus on the evolution of cable television (CATV) and geosynchronous satellites to deliver television and Internet access. Part 2 will delve into fiber optics and the emergence of fixed wireless access (FWA).In the Beginning…In the late 1940s and early 1950s, television was rapidly becoming the centerpiece of American home entertainment, with the whole family gathered around marveling at the moving images beamed into their living rooms. However, many households were out of luck either because they were too…
