Capacitor technology is constantly evolving and advancing to meet design engineers' requirements as they develop the latest electronic designs. Whether a new design or redesign is driven by size or performance requirements (or both), design engineers are in need of advanced components that enable them to produce smaller, faster, higher performance designs.
The first generation of satellite standard of DVB-S known as Digital Video Broadcasting-Return Channel via Satellite (DVB-RCS) about ten years ago quickly became around the globe one of the key solutions in almost every new satellite communication project for broadcast, broadband and multimedia interactive applications including high-speed Internet. The second generation of DVB-S2 CCM (Constant Coding Modulation) standard was presented a few years ago as a new more cost effective, efficient, reliable, secure and functional solution. The DVB-S2 CCM can be upgraded and cost less than the third generation of DVB-S2 ACM (Adaptive Coded Modulation) platform, forward and reverse compatible. In this article will be introduced the latest DVB-S2 Space and Ground segments, respectively, for interactive transmission of Voice, Data and Video (VDV) over IP (VDVoIP). The Ground Segment will be represented by HUB as GES (Ground Earth Station) and VSAT equipment known Satellite Interactive Terminal (SIT) or Remotes, compliant to all DVB-RCS standards for civilian and military solutions.
The communication Mobile Satellite Antenna (MSA) for transport applications are relatively large and heavy, especially the airborne High Gain Antenna (HGA) system for Inmarsat-H and High Speed Data (HSD) Aircraft Earth Stations (AES). Thus, over the past decade the steering airborne antenna system, which comprises the mechanical assembly, the control electronic system, the microwave electronic package and the antenna assembly (arrays and steering elements), has been reduced considerably in both physical size and weight. These reductions brought about by greater Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) from satellite transponders coupled with GaAs-FET technology at the front end the receiver leading to higher G/N RF amplifiers, have made initially the fitting of shipborne antennas on tracks, locomotives and airplanes a reality. A little later airborne and vehicle borne MSA were developed on the basis of these shipborne antennas. The MSA systems are always required to be pointed towards the satellite in spite of mobile motions. Namely, the mount system is one of the main requirements in designing the MSA systems from the technical and rational viewpoints. The several types of mount system are used: such as mechanical, electrical and other, especially those concerned with shipborne MSA. Whereas, in the case of airborne and vehicleborne MSA, electrical pointing systems are preferable.
The SKY65336 and SKY65337 ZigBee front-end modules (FEMs) can greatly enhance the performance of a ZigBee radio solution when integrated with any ZigBee low power reference design. Both devices can transmit up to 100 times more power than a typical 0 dBm low power ZigBee radio transmitter and can reduce the level of unwanted spurious emissions to be compliant with the main regulatory standards without the use of external components such as filters. Ember's EM250 with Skyworks' FEM reference design  shows a good example of the complete subsystem.
A Mobile Satellite Communications (MSC) system is radio-relay station temporarily located at determined position in space (approximately between 20 and 36,000 km) to receive RF signals from different Mobile Earth Stations (MES), amplify the signals and transmit them back to Land Earth Stations (LES), which are connected to the ground telecommunication infrastructure. To provide those all functions in order satellite has to be equipped with adequate subsystems integrated by payload and bus. The payload is usually located inside of satellite body, which contains the transponder or transceiver system (satellite receivers and transmitters). The transponder is also connected to the receiving and transmitting antenna system, which are mounted outside on the satellite body. Therefore, each satellite must be stabilized in its orbital slot, which has to counteract the forces acting on the satellite motion and to keep the antennas of a satellite constantly pointing to a specific footprint of the Earth.
As one of the fundamental signal processing components in RF and microwave circuits, the filter plays a critical role in determining any system's ultimate performance. Since the electromagnetic spectrum has become more and more densely populated, filter performance has taken on greater significance than ever because interference rejection is of paramount importance.
This Application Note describes chracterization of devices used in radar systems with pulsed signals. The emphasis is on measurements using vector network analyzers (VNAs), signal generators, vector signal generators and spectrum analyzers.
The N series of coaxial connector is the most widely used series for low to medium power applications in the DC to 11 GHz frequency range. The N connector is particularly well suited for applications in harsh environments or those where there is a high number of mating cycles. A relatively recent improvement has been the introduction of the Precision N connector, which operates up to 18 GHz. A major inconvenience of the traditional N connector is the threaded coupling mechanism. This has led to the invention of the Quick Lock N (QL-N) type connector, which showcases a quick disconnect feature.
R. Fuks and A. Weirback, Astrolab Inc.
At the SMA connector's inception, the operating frequency didn't exceed 12 GHz. As the design matured, the maximum operating frequency was pushed up to 18 GHz and eventually higher. As higher operating frequencies have become common over the past several decades, other interfaces, most of which are considered precision interfaces designed for laboratory use, have been introduced to handle signal transmission at frequencies far exceeding 18 GHz. However, the SMA connector design can be optimized to extend the maximum operating frequency of the interface to offer a reliable and cost-effective solution to the higher frequency requirements of modern systems.

Writing Exercise: Copy and Paste Links From Google Docs Into A List Block
November 4, 2021 by Jeffro
In today's exercise, the task is to copy three links that are listed in a Google Document that's used to collaborate on show notes for a podcast and paste them into a List Block.
Expectation:
After I create a list block in WordPress, I'll copy the links in the Google Document and paste them into the list block. I expect that all three URLs will show up in the block as a list.
What Actually Happens:
When I paste the three URLs from Google Documents into the List block, the List block is transformed into three-paragraph blocks. I have no idea why it does this but it's not the only block where pasting content into it causes it to transform into one or more paragraph blocks.
The Block Way
The Block way of successfully completing this task is to paste the URLs into the List block, select all three-paragraph blocks and transform them back into a List block. It's an unnecessary cycle.
The Lesson:
Most of the gripes I have with writing in the WordPress editor, especially when it comes to copying and pasting content into blocks is the flow. I expect to copy and paste something into a block and continue on my way but when the block I wanted suddenly transforms into a different block, I have to stop what I'm doing and figure out what the hell is going on.
There's the way I write and craft content in WordPress and then there's the way the editor wants me to do it. I'm consistently battling the editor's way. I don't think the editor's way of doing things that makes a writer go in a circle to accomplish a task like what I described above is an ideal flow for anyone. If the editor could eliminate transforming blocks from what I want back into a paragraph block, I'd have a better time.

Did your Google document have the URLs in a list format, or in paragraph format?
Paragraphs, but you bring up an interesting point. I'm going to try some things now.
As far as I know, cutting and pasting tries to preserve formatting. So if text is in a list on the original, Gutenberg should carry that over.
But it also makes sense that if you created a list block, your pasted content would respect it.
Ok, I tried turning the links in the Google Doc into a bulleted list, copying them, then pasting them into a List Block and they get turned into three separate paragraph blocks. I also tried copying the bulleted list in the Google Doc and pasting it into the editor and it did the same thing. I was kind of hoping that it would have detected and created a list block for me for the bulleted items but oh well. Thanks for the idea though.
That's a bummer! I just tried the same thing and got that result as well.
Now, I tried writing in Word and pasting, and it worked perfectly. Weird.
Apparently there are tools to help with this:

«Посмотри в глаза» — песня, записанная советской и российской певицей Натальей Ветлицкой, для её дебютного студийного альбома «Посмотри в глаза» (1992).

История создания
Песня была написана Андреем Зуевым, музыкантом родом из Новосибирска. Юрий Яроцкий в газете «Коммерсантъ» писал, что «бывший лабух из Новосибирска переехал в Москву и буквально нашел там счастье: познакомился с Натальей Ветлицкой и написал для неё песни "Посмотри в глаза" и "Магадан". Последняя, кстати, до сих пор остается одним из самых сюрреалистических образцов ранней постсоветской эстрады, за что автору большое человеческое спасибо». Андрей Зуев рассказывал, что написал песню «слева направо», объясняя, что он пытался делать музыку по-новому, но до этого у него практически не было ни одной песни. Он самостоятельно занимался продюсированием и аранжировкой.
На самом деле очень многие воротили нос. Не только от песни, вообще: говорили — мол, зачем Наталье это нужно? Она была тогда человек светский, никто не верил, что из неё получится певица. Такая скорее тусовщица, танцовщица какая-то. А мне с самого начала казалось, что это должно выстрелить. Иногда бывает ощущение, что попал.

Сопродюсером песни выступил Игорь Матвиенко, который спродюсировал припев. Он отмечал, что при создании композиции музыканты ореинтировались на западные аналоги. «Дело в том, что мы живем в исторически закомплексованной стране. Естественно, что и кино, и музыка все время смотрят в сторону Запада. Мы всегда за ними повторяем… И Наталья не была исключением. Но при этом с такими настроениями обычно ни у кого ничего не получается — а у Натальи получилось. Она прямо с первой песни взлетела».

Музыка и текст песни

«Посмотри в глаза» — это танцевальная поп-композиция. Матвиенко говорил, что при записи использовались несколько элементов из песни «Deep in Vogue» Мальколма Макларена, которая была очень популярной на тот момент. В композиции присутствует соло на саксофоне. В припеве Ветлицкая поёт: «Но больше не звони и меня не зови/ Я забуду про всё, что ты говорил/ Я верну тебе всё, что ты подарил». Для альбома также был записан ремикс на песню, в стиле техно. Сергей Нечаев в «Огоньке» писал, что «именно техно-ремикс её песни "Посмотри в глаза", сделанный в 93-м, предвосхитил моду на этот вид музыкальной продукции; тогда техно было андерграундом».

Реакция критики
Алексей Мажаев в InterMedia положительно описывал песню, отмечая, что она производит странный эффект: «…вот ведь феномен: в песне вроде бы ничего нет, в клипе ничего не происходит, а и то, и другое — настоящее», — писал автор. В декабре 2011 года, журнал «Афиша» включил композицию в свой редакционный список «Самых ярких и запомнившихся русских поп-хитов за последние 20 лет». Отмечая, что Ветлицкая — воплощение всего того, за что можно любить российскую поп-музыку, в издании писали: «С ней как-то все совпало… Голос, всегда певший с какой-то трудноуловимой самоиронией. Тонкие и звонкие песни, в которых эротизм парадоксальным образом сочетался с непорочностью». В 2011 году журнал Time Out включил «Посмотри в глаза» в свой редакционный список «100 песен, изменивших нашу жизнь». Говоря о Ветлицкой, как о «поп-гордости нации», в издании писали: «Нельзя, конечно, утверждать, что Наталья Ветлицкая — первая постсоветская поп-дива — затмила тогда популярность Пугачевой, однако в конце 1992 года её песню "Посмотри в глаза" не знал разве что глухой. И любить попсу было совсем не стыдно!».

Клип

В 1991 году на песню был снят первый музыкальный клип Натальи Ветлицкой. Режиссёрами выступили сыновья известных советских режиссёров друзья Фёдор Бондарчук и Тигран Кеосаян, в это время Тигран Кеосаян встречался с Ветлицкой, а Бондарчук жил у него дома. Оператором — Сергей Козлов. Последний рассказывал, что на тот момент у них в Москве сложилась своя «тусовка», в которую входили он, Бондарчук, Тигран Кеосаян и Ветлицкая. В какой-то момент они собрались вместе и решили снять клип. Команда договорилась о бесплатном использовании павильона во ВГИКе. Козлов, также бесплатно, достал единственный на всю страну телевизионный кран и камеру. Клип был снят без сценария. «Сплошная импровизация и никаких раскадровок. Кто-то решил залезть на рояль, охранник стукнулся головой об лампу — мы не ставили эти сцены, все было случайно. У нас был длинный съемочный день, уходящий в ночь. Я всех постарался снять. Самого себя и Федю — он там смотрит в камеру и закрывает её рукой», — рассказывал Сергей Козлов. Матвиенко говорил, что образ Ветлицкой в клипе был собирательный: «и Мадонна, и кто только не. Хотя мы об образе тогда особенно не думали». Сама исполнительница говорила, что сыграла один из образов, которые она реализовывала в различных своих работах. «Я сделала несколько разнохарактерных видеообразов. Клип "Посмотри в глаза" — девушка из модельного бизнеса, клип "Душа" — добрая фея из сказки, "Погасите свет" — романтическая героиня, "Плейбой" — фривольная девушка», — рассказывала артистка в интервью «Новым известиям». Также Наталья рассказывала, что платье в котором она снималась, ей подарила Жанна Агузарова: «Жанна Агузарова в ту пору мне подарила ещё очень красивое шелковое голубое платье 1960-х годов, в котором я снималась в первом своем клипе "Посмотри в глаза"». В эпизодической роли в клипе снялся Владимир Турчинский.

В октябре 1992 года, клип получил главный приз на московском фестивале кино-видеоклипов Generation-92. Экспертное жюри присудило Бондарчуку первое место и приз в 150 тысяч рублей за режиссёрское мастерство. Ролик был выдвинут на соискание премии европейского MTV. Бондарчук говорил, что видео помогло ему реализоваться в роли режиссёра и впоследствии он создал компанию «Art Pictures group», занимавшуюся производством музыкальных клипов. «Тогда моя персона волновала людей только потому, что сын великого советского режиссёра вдруг занялся совершенно неведомым делом. Никто не понимал, что такое видеоролик или музыкальный клип. Именитые режиссёры во всём этом видели только деньги и малые формы, недостойные кисти больших художников. А ведь если посмотреть с профессиональной точки зрения, это такая возможность творить и экспериментировать: с изображением, с монтажом — с чем угодно!», — говорил режиссёр.

Видеоклип был назван одним самых значимых для российской поп-музыки. Алексей Мажаев писал, что видео подтолкнуло к развитию целую индустрию российского производства видеоклипов. «…композиция "Посмотри в глаза" дала толчок развитию целой индустрии — российскому клипмейкерству. Тигран Кеосаян и Фёдор Бондарчук, совместно сделавшие этот, снимать клипы сначала не умели; увидели Ветлицкую — сразу научились», — писал журналист. В «Афише» писали, что «кисточка, припудривавшая попу Ветлицкой в видео "Посмотри в глаза", навсегда стала символом того, что в новой свободной России возможна новая свободная эстрада».

Также клип попал в рейтинг издания Meduza «30 величайших клипов в истории музыки».

Q. Do you ship to PO and APO boxes?
A. At this time, we are unable to ship to P.O. or A.P.O. boxes.
Q. How can I tell whether or not I have a reserved seat on board?
A. To tell if you have a reservation, first see if you received one or two travel documents for your trip. If you received two travel documents, you probably received an open train ticket and a reservation. The reservation portion will show a train number, car number and seat number assigned to you personally.
If you received only one document, see if it also indicates a seat number and car number. If so, your train ticket includes a reservation.
Q. What food and drink options are on board?
A. If the train you're traveling on offers a bar-buffet car, you're free to walk in, sit down and eat. Or as soon as the restaurant car opens, make a reservation for any time of day.
On many long distance trains there may be an attendant with a snack cart who travels from car to car.
Bar-buffet cars are a unique part of the train experience, where the quality of the food and wine can rival that of a gourmet restaurant. With the exception of Eurostar, special meal requests are not available. But typically, regular menu options are plentiful and usually cater to most taste buds or dietary restrictions.
If you travel with a Premier Class ticket, food and drinks are included and served at your seat or in the bar-buffet car.
On local trains there's usually no catering. However, you are welcome to bring your own food and drinks on board. Please make sure to follow the local law when considering taking alcoholic drinks on board any train.
Q. What should I do if the train is late?
A. It depends if you're traveling with train tickets that include a reservation or with open tickets. If your train ticket includes a reservation, then it's only valid for travel on the train for which it was issued. If the train is late, you'll need to wait until it arrives.
If you're traveling with open tickets you can decide to take another train, as long is it doesn't require a reservation and travels the same route as the one for which your open ticket was issued.

Cakes has no time for 'Panicky Pete' Caps fans
Concerned? Nervous? Apprehensive about the Washington Capitals this season?
Well, John "Cakes" Auville has a message for you: Stop it.
"All these 'Panicky Petes' about coach (Todd) Reirden, like does he go to the whip enough, is he tough enough. He's got them a Metro Division championship," Cakes said on The Sports Junkies Friday. "So all the people who were worried about Todd Reirden, you can all settle down."
Yes, the Capitals clinched their fourth straight Metro Division title with a 2-1 win Thursday and look to be peaking at just the right time.
When asked to compare his state of mind heading into the Stanley Cup Playoffs now to his level of confidence this time last year, Cakes went with the present.
"I feel more confident about this year's edition," he said, "solely because you don't have the goalie uncertainty that you had last year. And it wasn't that uncertain last year, (Philipp Grubauer) was the guy, because (Braden) Holtby had been struggling."
Twelve months ago, Holtby was struggling as his goals against average ticked up and went 8-7-2 in February, March, and April. But during that same stretch this year, he has gone 15-7-2 and playing some of his best hockey on the season.
"But now you got Holtby playing the way he shoulda been playing this time last year and you don't have any question marks about, probably, the most important spot on your team when it comes to Stanley Cup Finals (and) Playoffs," Cakes said.
This level of confidence is not misplaced. The Capitals this time last year were 48-26-7. This year's team: 48-25-8. And the Caps have improved their goal differential from plus 18 to plus 32.
While the Capitals have gotten another 50 goal season from the ageless Alex Ovechkin, his eighth of his career, the Caps true strength comes from every player being able to score. In 2018-19, seven Capitals (T.J. Oshie, Jakub Vrana, Nicklas Backstrom, Brett Connolly, Tom Wilson, Evgeny Kuznetsov, and Ovechkin) all have over 20 goals. The number was only three for the Stanley Cup Champions a season ago.
"And I would say that they figured some things out, they figured out a winning formula last year," J.P. Flaim said Friday.
No, Cakes or J.P aren't guaranteeing a Stanley Cup repeat, but don't let the 'Panicky Petes' tell you another ring isn't possible.
