The Big IoT Challenge: Calculating Battery Life
The Internet of Things (IoT) is creating a new breed of measurement challenges for engineers trying to calculate the battery life of their products, an expert will tell attendees at the upcoming Embedded Systems Conference (ESC) in Boston.
“The oscilloscope you have in your lab today may not have low enough noise to make the kind of measurements you need,” Mike Borsch, an applications engineer for Rohde & Schwarz , told Design News. “When you’re measuring micro-amps or micro-volts, noise can be a real problem. Many of today’s scopes haven’t been built to make these measurements. A lot of things can go wrong.” Read more…
