Designing Model of Consumer Electronics in India The Indian consumer electronics market recorded continued growth in 2019, owing to increase sales of portable consumer electronics and in-home consumer electronics. Rising disposable income of the people of consumer electronics and their shift in preferences towards smart homes and smart offices environment. High end products still has to go a long way to acquire larger industry share in India. For instance, 4K TV is a trend in India but it has capacity to change and upgrade as per the developed technology across the globe. Moreover, China has increasing manufacturing cost which has attracted India to be ideal manufacturing hub. The “Make in India” policy of the government is further attracting more investments in consumer electronic industry. Of the total electronic industry in India, consumer electronics has around 9.5% market share, with major adoption among the middle income group population. But, the inadequate testing facilities and incompetent local manufacturing infrastructure are hindering the growth of the industry. According to (ACE) market reached Rs 2.05 lakh crore (US$ 31.48 billion) in 2017. It is expected to increase at a 9 per cent CAGR to reach Rs 3.15 lakh crore (US$ 48.37 billion) in 2022. Electronics hardware production in the country reached Rs 38,800 crore (US$ 5.55 billion) in FY18, growing at a CAGR of 26.7 per cent between FY14-18. Demand for electronics hardware in India is expected to reach US$ 400 billion by FY24 also the Draft National Policy (DNP) targets production of one billion mobile handsets by 2025. There is a lot of scope for growth from rural markets with consumption expected to grow in these areas as penetration of brands increases. Overall consumer durable exports reached Rs 5,451.42 crore (US$ 0.78 billion) in 2017. Consumer electronics exports from India reached Rs 3,154.06 crore (US$ 451.29 million) in FY19. Also demand for durables like refrigerators as well as consumer electronic goods are likely to witness growing demand in the coming years in the rural markets as the government plans to invest significantly in rural electrification. The S&P BSE Consumer Durables Index has grown at 16 per cent CAGR between 2010-18. Consumer durables index under the Index of Industrial Production (IIP) has grown 5.5 per cent year-on-year between April 2018-March 2019.
Washing machines and refrigerators, top five players have more than 75 per cent market share, while in air conditioners and fans it is around 55-60 per cent. Growing awareness, easier access, and changing lifestyles have been the key growth drivers for the consumer market. The Government of India's policies and regulatory frameworks such as relaxation of license rules and approval of 51 per cent foreign direct investment (FDI) in multi-brand and 100 per cent in singlebrand retail are some of the major growth drivers for the consumer market. According to the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade, during April 2000 – March 2019, FDI inflows into the electronics sector stood at Rs 16,494.04 crore (US$ 2.36 billion). As per revised FDI policy, government has introduced certain bars for ecommerce platforms from selling on their websites and imposes a limit on how much one supplier can sell on their portal. In this Issue of Times Tech, we compliment and look deep into the matters and situations which is involving in the consumer electronics and how semiconductor industry is collaring these transformations. A lot more of LEDs focusing onto the upcoming LED EXPO this month and design articles providing new design ideas to our esteem readers and profounder.

Cover Story
An LED light bulb is used to produce light using one or more light-emitting diodes (LEDs).LED lamps have a lifespan which is a number of times longer than that of an equivalent ordinary lamp and are significantly more efficient as comparative to the fluorescent lamps along with some LED chips which could even emit up to 303 lumens per watt.
Applications of LED lighting • LED lamps are utilized for general as well as lightning for special occasions. Whenever coloured lighting is required, LEDs inherently emit the light of one color without requiring any energy absorbing filters. • White LED lamps include more life expectancy along with higher efficiency as comparative to other lightning when used at right temperature. LED sources are compact which provides flexibility in building lighting fixtures. Moreover, it has control over the distribution of light with small reflectors or either lenses. Since the LEDs have smaller size, the control of the spatial distribution of an LED array could be controlled without any efficiency loss.
Fig.1 LED lighting system anatomy
The LEDs make use of direct current (DC), whereas the mains current is alternating current (AC) and usually at much higher voltage than the LED can accept. The LED lamps have a circuit for changing the mains AC into DC at the right voltage. These circuits comprise of rectifiers, capacitors and other electric components, which may help the lamp to get dimmed. In an LED filament lamp, the driving circuit is simplified as many LED junctions in series have approximately the same operating voltage as the AC supply.
• The LED which makes use of the color-mixing principle could transmit an extremely wide variety of colors by changing the proportions of light which are generated in each of the primary color. This helps us in constructing the LEDs of a wide range of colors. In the applications where non-directional light is needed, either a diffuser is taken or multiple individual LED emitters are utilized to emit in various directions. • Household LED lamps make use of standard lamp connections and shapes. These in clued driver circuitry to rectify the AC power. In addition to this, it converts the voltage to an appropriate value, usually a switched mode power supply. • Some specific models of LED lamps have compatibility with dimmers to be used in incandescent lamps. LED lamps also contain directional light characteristics. These are way too power efficient as compared to the compact fluorescent lamps. • LED tube lights have been developed to physically fit into the fixtures needed for fluorescent tubes.

General Lighting
General Lighting comprises of both residential, outdoor and industrial lighting used as a lighting source at night time. LEDs in the industrial setting are involved in challenging environments such as industrial bay areas, cold storage areas and other functional areas. LEDs are ideal for outdoor lighting and are utilized for street lighting for a number of reasons which mainly involve longer lifespan and better efficiency. In addition to this, they have low power utilization and better color rendering as comparative to traditional lighting sources. Since the LEDs could be switched on instantly, therefore they have been ideal for the street lighting applications. Conventional lighting sources such as the incandescent bulbs, on the other hand side are not very efficient at converting the electricity into visible light, with only a fraction of the electricity consumed, it could be converted into useable light and the rest is wasted as heat. Although, Compact Fluorescent Lights(CFLs) are more energy efficient as compared to incandescent bulbs, CFLs have shorter life spans and they are less energy efficient than LEDs

unprecedented price increases. Now, 3D NAND continues to develop, with 6 major players having released, or planning to soon release, 9X-Layer NAND solutions.
Few Marking Challenges For Consumer Electronics Segment With the increased adoption of IoT sensor products like smart watches and glasses, as well as smartphones and other wearable devices, the semiconductor industry drives MEMS/NEMS sensor platforms with the power advantages of lower technology nodes and increased functionality on a single small form-factor die. As the technology node shrinks, engineers have been trying to figure out the method to manage placement density and high memory count. At this time, lower geometry design becomes a major area of focus and tape-outs using advanced technology. Chip size has continued to decrease from year to year, from 90 nanometers to 65, 40, 28, 14 and 7 nanometers. Power consumption is another major concern during functional testing, especially facing lower design technology. As chip size shrinks, density tends to increase to nearly a million gates on a single chip, and power dissipation occuring in the chip due to leakage will become very significant. In order to reduce the loss of power, several leakage power minimization techniques have been developed. You can read more here about one such power leakage optimization technique in systems-on-chips. During the past 10 years, with the advent of smart devices, the electronics consumer industry has been in a constant state of competition that has driven semiconductor innovation to an unprecedented level.
New Platforms All Engineers Platforms like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and BeagleBone have made it possible for creative non-engineers to take advantage of the technology to innovate in their areas of passion. As this non-technical creative community begins to create new requirements for semiconductor devices, it's important to make sure those requirements are met in a meaningful way. The goal is to eliminate the increasingly higher barriers of entry that surround electronic design and manufacturing.

But in 2020, this misfortune is said to ease down and bring-in new opportunities and new markets for the semiconductor market. The macroeconomic environment weakening is reckon not to affect semiconductor demand. The U.S.-China trade war has been a “very small” reason behind the slowdown seen in the semiconductor industry, says Ajit Manocha, CEO at industry association Semi. Manocha said the chip industry could see a pickup in the “early part of 2020” once the current period of softening passes. Commenting on the current U.S. approach toward China, Manocha said that Beijing is unlikely to face any “serious impact” if Washington continues to target it in a unilateral manner instead of working together with like-minded countries.
SOCs are Dominant Mobile system-on-chips (SoCs) has become the leading product driver for technology definition and manufacturing for the semiconductor industry. This trend was first observed in 28 nm and will continue for 20 nm, 16/14 nm, and 10 nm adoption and production ramp. Recent mobile SoC performance increase was achieved mainly through silicon technology scaling, and from single to dual- and quad-core. For mobile SoCs to continue offering new and exciting userexperiences, and longer battery life, a holistic approach in orthogonal system scaling to break out of the box of (speed*density/power/cost) constrains is mandated. Examples in the new paradigm of mobile heterogeneous computing are: energy-efficient transistors/memories/interconnects in expanding and boosting existing SoC functionalities (e.g., SiGe/III-V FinFET, GAA-FET, TFET, and RRAM/MRAM etc.), allinclusive technology/design co-optimization to extract more values from silicon tech, RFFE system integration, and the multi-die integration by system partitioning that allows each component to be optimized and integrated closely together for lower cost and power, higher performance, and reduced form factor.

The Impetus Behind Advances in
Industrial and Embedded Optical Communications
-Carolyn Mathas | Mouser Electronics
There is an insatiable demand for ever-greater communications bandwidth in industrial and embedded computing settings where distance, low power and small configurations matter. Specific enabling technologies such as FPGAs and advances in transceivers, connectors and receivers support the rapid evolution in optical communications.
Figure 1: Fiber optic cables with terminations.
Simply, optical communications consists of a transmitter that encodes messages into optical signals, a channel to carry the signal to its destination and a receiver that reproduces the message from the optical signal. The speed of optical communications depends greatly on the distortions of the information signals

generated from their interactions with the molecules that make up the fibers. The higher the speed of transmission, the more likely the signal will be distorted. When distortions are large, detection errors occur at the receiving end. Spurred by the limitations inherent in radio frequency communications, today’s optical solutions operate at higher bandwidth and carry a greater amount of data from a package that is smaller, lighter and less power hungry than RF, while operating in a non-regulated spectrum. Given the critical nature of increasing bandwidth in industrial and embedded settings, fiber optics is able to carry very wide bandwidth signals, into the GHz range and lower bandwidth signals can be multiplexed onto the same cable. Fiber optics in industrial applications provides a noise immunity that once needed to be housed in protective sheaths inside conduit. And, within settings where potentially explosive atmospheres exist, fiber optic links do not store energy sufficient to ignite an explosion. In both industrial and embedded applications, there is a need for improved security and optical communications has its benefits. Given that fiber optics does not generate EMI fields that can be picked up with external sensors, it is virtually impossible to 'steal' signals by splicing into optical fibers compared TIMESTech.in

to the ease of doing so with conventional copper wiring.
Addressing Industrial and Embedded Computing Needs While used initially in telecommunications and wide area networking for many years, fiber optics have become increasingly prevalent in industrial data communications systems. As high data rate capabilities, noise rejection and electrical isolation became more important, fiber optic technology became increasingly ideal for use in industrial systems. In this segment, most often used for point-to-point connections, fiber optic links are being used to extend the distance limitations of RS-232, RS-422/485 and Ethernet systems. Rugged embedded computing systems also require high-data-rate input/output, for which fiber optics are ideal. The I/O could be a relatively short link, connecting two plug-in modules, or it could be a longer run. In numerous data-intensive applications, the advantages of optical computing pay dividends. Transceivers are used in embedded and industrial high-speed applications where they eliminate components, speed design and save money. The Avago AFBR-59FxZ compact 650nm transceivers, for example, implement Fast Ethernet (100Mbps) communications over 2.2mm jacketed standard Polymer Optical Fiber (POF). Applications for the AFBR-59FxZ transceivers include factory automation, industrial vision systems and power generation and distribution systems. The transceiver features a 650 nm LED, driven by a fully integrated driver IC. The LED driver operates at 3.3V. The IC is a linear integrated LED driver with differential input signals, converting input voltage in an output current for the LED. In contrast, Finisar’s FTLX1x72x3BCL pluggable MultiRate SFP+ transceivers are compliant with SFF-8431 and SFF-8432, 10GBASE-ER and support 10G SONET, SDH, OTN, IEEE 802.3ae, 8x/10x Fibre channel over 40k links and 6.144G/9.83 CPRI. The transceivers are designed for use in 10-Gigabit multi-rate links up to 40km of G.652 single mode fiber.
available via a 2-wire serial interface, as specified in SFF-8472. The FTLX1772M3BCL transceivers use internal transmitter and receiver re-timer IC's for SONET/SDH jitter compliance and to enhance host cards' signal integrity. Applications include 10GBASEER/EW and 10G Fibre Channel (FTLX1672D3BCL), OTN G.709 OTU1e/2/2e FEC bit rates, 6.144G/9.83G CPRI, 8.5Gb/s Fibre Channel, 10G NRZ SONET, SDH, 10G Ethernet and Fibre Channel and G.709 OTN FEC bit rates.
FPGA Integration Addressing important power reduction and electrical signal path length requirements, the integration of high-speed optical transceivers and programmable devices dramatically reduces the signal path from the I/O pad of the chip to the input of the optical transceiver. The shorter path also lowers EMI and jitter, improves signal integrity, and reduces data errors caused by parasitic elements. Altera's Optical FPGA technology breaks through recent reach, power, port density, cost, and circuit board complexity limitations. The company’s Arria V GX 13688 LABs 704 IOs family, for example, is a comprehensive offering of mid-range FPGAs. The Arria V is ideal for power-sensitive wireless infrastructure equipment, 20G/50G bridging, switching and packet processing applications, high-definition video processing and image manipulation, and intensive digital signal processing (DSP) applications. Featuring TSMC’s 28 nm process technology and hard intellectual property (IP) blocks, it has 50% lower power consumption than previous generations, and the lowest power transceivers of any midrange family. The family provides tight integration of a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore processor, hard IP and an FPGA in a single Arria V system on a chip (SoC). It supports more than 128 Gbps peak bandwidth with integrated data coherency between the processor and FPGA fabric.
Finisar FTLX1772M3BCL transceivers also have higher optical transmit power and better receiver sensitivity than 1310nm 10GBASE-LR and OC-192 SR-1 transceivers, and they support an optical link budget of 17dB, to compensate for the higher fiber attenuation loss at 1310nm over 40km of G.652 single mode fiber.
Altera’s 28-nm Stratix V FPGAs, in comparison, include such innovations as enhanced core architecture, integrated transceivers up to 28.05 Gbps and a unique array of integrated hard intellectual property (IP) blocks. This combination allow the Stratix V FPGAs to deliver a new class of application-targeted devices that are optimized for bandwidth-centric applications and protocols, including PCI Express ((PCIe) Gen3, dataintensive applications for 40G/100G and beyond, and high-performance, high-precision digital signal processing (DSP) applications.

At the receiving end, a fiber optic system provides very low bit error rates (BER) as long as it is designed to provide adequate signal levels and since fiber does not pick up electromagnetic interference (EMI), signals on adjacent cables are not coupled together. AFBR25x1CZ Fiber Optic Receivers from Avago Technologies consist of an IC with an integrated photodiode providing TTL logic families that have compatible output. Along with Avago’s AFBR-15x9Z or AFBR-16x9Z transmitter, any type of signal from DC to 5MBd at distances up to 50 meters with 1mm 0.5NA POF and 500 meters with 200μm 0.37NA PCS are supported. The 4-pin device is packed in Versatile Link housing. Versatile Link components can be interlocked to minimize space while providing dual connections with the duplex connectors.

Applications include optical receivers for 5MBd systems and below, industrial control and factory automation, extension of RS-232 and RS-485, high voltage insulation, elimination of ground loops and it reduces voltage transient susceptibility.
Connectors In the past, fiber optic connections were labor intensive and involved cutting a fiber, epoxying a special connector, and polishing the end of the fiber. This operation required specific tools and test equipment to ensure a good connection. While this technique is still used, devices used to cut, align and join fibers have been improved and simplified. Connection losses vary, depending on the type of connection, but typically range from 0.2 dB to 1 dB. TE Connectivity (TE) Ruggedized Optical Backplane interconnect system, for example, delivers a highdensity, blind-mate optical interconnect in a backplane/daughter card configuration. TE offers the optical system in both receptacle (backplane) and mating plug (daughter card) connectors that interconnect up to two MT ferrules, each accommodating up to 24 fiber paths. Typical applications are adverse environments and high-

bandwidth computing applications requiring optical infrastructure. Supporting the VITA 66.1 Standard, the connectors maximize optical performance.
Breaking Through Remaining Barriers Optical communications, however, is still not without challenges. With fiber optics, for example, beyond a threshold power level, additional power increases irreparably distort the information travelling in the fiber optic cable. Photonics researchers at the University of California, San Diego just announced that they have broken key barriers that limit the distance information can travel in fiber optic cables and still be accurately deciphered by a receiver. Published in the June 26, 2015 issue of the journal Science, their research has increased the maximum power -- and therefore distance -- at which optical signals can be sent through optical fibers. In a lab environment, researchers successfully deciphered information that travelled a record-breaking 12,000 kilometers (7456 miles) through fiber optic cables with standard amplifiers, but without using repeaters. The breakthrough removes this power limit and extends how far signals can travel via optical fiber without a repeater. Removing periodic electronic regeneration when dealing with 80 to 200 channels saves substantial cost and enables a more efficient transmission of information. The breakthrough uses wideband “frequency combs” to ensure that the signal distortions, or crosstalk, between bundled streams of information travelling long distances through the optical fiber are predictable and, most important, reversible at the receiving end. The frequency comb prevents the random distortions that make it impossible to reassemble the original content at the receiver.
The Future Recent optical communications advances concentrate on increasing the bandwidth of individual wavelength channels and number of wavelengths transmitted per fiber. Ongoing advances will concentrate on supporting a variety of emerging applications that provide realtime, on-demand and high data-rate capabilities in a flexible, low power and cost effective way. Optical communications is not without challenges. Work continues on bandwidth expansion, distance, power and integration. As the industrial and embedded segments continue to demand more rapid communications capabilities, mixed with greater security and lower price tags, optical technologies will continue to provide answers.

pulsed electromagnetic wave of known power and frequency is transmitted in a specific direction where it encounters a target that reflects some portion of the signal back, which is measured by a receiving device. Radars can use CW signals, basic pulses and a wide variety of other signal waveforms. In addition to range, other information about the target can be detected, such as speed and direction, by varying parameters of the radar system. For example, scanning an area with a highly directive antenna can provide the direction of the target in azimuth and elevation, while measuring the frequency shift of the received signal can provide the target’s speed.
Target Range Target range is a fundamental use for most radar systems. Radar systems have evolved significantly in how they are constructed, the signals used, the information that can be captured, and how this information can be used in different applications. Radar is used in a wide array of both military and civilian applications, including: v Surveillance (threat identification, motion detection, or proximity fuses) v Detection and tracking (target identification and pursuit or maritime rescue) v Navigation (automotive collision avoidance or air traffic control) v High resolution imaging (terrain mapping or landing guidance) v Weather tracking (storm avoidance or wind profiling)
Ground Penetrating Radar Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) aids in finding buried arms caches, while ground surveillance radars (GSR) detect illegal movements. Peacekeepers detect airspace violations common in war-torn areas using air surveillance radars. Synthetic aperture radar and commercial satellites are used to locate and confirm large refugee movements.
Doppler Pulsed Radar This is a coherent radar system in which the received pulse-to-pulse phase variations enable the element of speed to be added to the distance and direction of the target. They typically utilize high pulse repetition rates (PRRs), which enables more accurate radial velocity measurements, but have less range accuracy. Doppler pulsed radar systems are used to detect moving targets while rejecting static clutter, which can be very helpful in weather monitoring applications.
Moving Target Indicator (MTI) Radar MTI radar also uses Doppler frequencies to differentiate echoes of a moving target from stationary objects and clutter. Its waveform is a train of pulses with a low PRR to avoid range ambiguities, at the expense of velocity accuracy. These types of radar systems are often used in ground-based aircraft search and surveillance applications.
Pulse Compression Radar Short pulse width signals provide better range resolution, but have limited range. Long pulse width signals contain more energy and provide a longer detection range, but sacrifice resolution. Pulse compression combines the power related benefits of long pulse widths with the resolution benefits of short pulse widths. By either modulating the frequency (e.g., linearly for an FM chirp) or the phase (e.g. with a Barker code) of the transmitted signal, the long pulse can be compressed in the receiver by an amount equal to the reciprocal of the modulating signal bandwidth. Many weather monitoring systems have moved to pulse compression radar.
Signal Amplitude and Target Movement When a target is moving, the amplitude of the pulse signal will also vary with respect to the distance from the receiver. Adding AM to the pulse provides a simple means by which you can vary the amplitude of the pulse over time. The rate is the time in which the variation in amplitude occurs. The depth defines how much the amplitude varies. 1 kHz is selected to line up with the period of the pulse (1/1 ms = 1 kHz). The modulation wave is set to ramp down to simulate the decreasing power of the radar return of a target moving away (which corresponds to the increasing delay we set). Using AM in this way is only a conceptual simulation because the amplitude reduction of an actual radar return would not be linear.
High-Speed Digitizer Method A number of methods are currently being used to make pulse measurements, including narrowband or band-limited methods, triggered methods and wideband methods. Unfortunately, they all come with limitations and trade-offs. The high-speed digitizer measurement method represents major technology advancement over all prior pulse measurement test methods. While similar to the “historic” wideband method, this method is based on direct acquisition – but at a much higher data rate than was previously available. By using a high-speed digitizer and performing the

alignment with pulse data in a post-processing sense, one avoids the triggering latency issues associated with triggered measurements and potential jitter/inconsistency problems with that triggering. The resolution is set mainly by the acquisition rate instead.
Point-in-Pulse Measurements The point-in-pulse measurement quantifies Sparameter data at any point in time within a pulse. The measurements are made with swept frequency or power and plotted accordingly. This measurement mode is useful when trying to avoid possible edge effects of the pulse. For example, amplifiers often have settling effects at the beginning of the pulse. Point-inpulse measurements are useful when you need to measure the pulse as a whole, but the structure within the pulse is not of great interest nor is the variation from pulse to pulse.
Pulse Profile Measurements The pulse profiling measurement focuses on the structure of data within the pulse. The measurements are made in the time domain, while the frequency and power are kept constant. This measurement mode is useful for determining pulse characteristics such as overshoot/undershoot, droop, and edge response (e.g., rise/fall time).
Vector Network Analyzers are perfect elements of an RCS measurement system. They have the measurement speed and accuracy – as well as Time Domain capability – to provide the overall S-parameter critical performance information to help ensure successful stealth designs. The VNA Master and Site Master families are easy-touse tools to help make these humanitarian efforts successful. Specifically designed for rugged field environments, they are lightweight and have fieldreplaceable Li-Ion batteries. Their wide operating temperature range means they will work wherever humanitarian operations are needed. They also employ the Frequency Domain Reflectometry (FDR) measurement technique for distance-to-fault (DTF) measurements. This allows our instruments to locate slight signal path degradation that is missed by other instruments that use Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) techniques. Such detection capability helps insure the safety and security of peacekeepers, as well as the effectiveness of their missions.
Pulse-to-Pulse The pulse-to-pulse measurement quantifies variations between pulses in a pulse stream. The measurements are also made in the time domain, while the frequency and power are kept constant. This measurement mode is useful when trying to determine whether the pulse characteristics are varying over time. For example, high power amplifiers may have thermal effects which can cause variances in the gain or phase.
Instrumentation for A&D: Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) is very popular T&M instrument used by many aerospace scientist/ engineers for design of RADAR and other communication network elements such as cable, connectors, cable assembly, antenna system transmitters etc, Radar Cross Section (RCS) measurement is very popular measurement in A&D segment and VNA is perfect candidate for this applicaiton. Radar cross section RCS is the measure of an object's ability to reflect radar signal in the direction of the radar receiver i.e. it is the measure of the ratio of backscatter per steradian (unit solid angle) in the direction of the radar (from the target) to the power density that is intercepted by the target.

It contains its own built-in vector insertion loss and phase receiver, a wideband signal source and directional bridges/couplers—all configured internally—for conducting both 1-port and 2-port measurements at selected CW frequencies . Unlike VVMs with their 1000-MHz limit, the VNA Master with Option 15 measures cable characteristics to 4 GHz, 6 GHz, or 20 GHz (depending on model), making it a suitable replacement for the most used VVM ratio function—measuring component parameters.
must manually create multiple phase-matched cables using the “measure-and-snip” operation. This operation requires the engineer or technician to carefully snip small amounts of cable with a diagonal cutter, perhaps 1/8th inch at a time, and re-measure the effect on the 2-way phase. VNA Master plays an important role in Aerospace and Defence communication network maintenance and deployment.
The two techniques used by the VNA Master to obtain cable-phase measurements are: 1. Insertion technique: This technique utilizes the VNA Master’s 2-port setup to make cable-phase measurements and is generally considered the preferred technique. It characterizes the insertion phase delay of a signal by measuring S21 through the cable. This allows the operator to determine the phase shift of the component or cable from input connector to output connector. Measured S21 data is displayed as insertion loss in dB, while insertion phase is displayed in degrees. 2. Reflection technique: This technique measures the S11 reflected signal on a component or cable, and is dependent on the far end of the cable being deliberately mismatched—either shorted or left as an open circuit. With the mismatch, virtually 100 percent of the input signal is reflected and as a result, the phase delay of the measured reflected signal is equal to twice the one-way phase of the cable. Likewise, the cable measured return loss is twice the one-way loss. The reflection technique is especially useful for situations where the operator TIMESTech.in

The emergence of the data – driven economy has changed the dynamics of businesses quite rapidly along with revolutionizing the IT industry and varying IT strategies. Due to the advent of connected, smart devices and rising demand for real time data insights, IT departments have not been able to concentrate on the backend management because of which there is an extra effort that is being put up by the organizations to transform the traditional IT setup into modern IT infrastructure. Today, IT departments face significant challenges such as managing numerous workloads, responding quickly, and decreasing downtime across the IT infrastructure, and at the same time, it is also responsible for making a positive contribution to the overall strategic growth of the business. Therefore, a shift has been witnessed and IT departments have started readily looking at transformation of their legacy infrastructures into the modern one. These revamped IT departments will not only lead to the adoption of new and innovative technologies, but also to inspire workforce to learn and develop new skills, to attain a better understanding of the infrastructure, which will lead to a more efficient way of functioning.

Since, servers form the bedrock of the modern data center, the changing role of traditional IT has also advocated for the deployment of advanced and modern age servers which will ensure smooth functioning of several applications from database to software-defined storage. Due to this, globally, we are witnessing a huge uptake of servers. As per IDC, the worldwide server market revenue increased 4.4% Y-O-Y to $19.8 billion during the first quarter of 2019 Therefore, as we progress more and more into an era of Digital transformation, the need to automate becomes necessary. Automation of IT can free up time of workforce from performing the mundane tasks and focus more on strategic projects.
The need for Server Automation: IT departments can no longer take three – to – fourweek gap between “code complete” and “code in production.” In modern times, users expect new features on a regular or weekly basis, making it difficult to run through the mostly manual process. Therefore, administrators gradually need to move out of the critical path of software deployment manually and provision more optimized automated structure. This is where the server automation plays a critical role. It will help things run faster, saving employee time and
reducing human error. Server automation transforms the entire functioning of IT departments and helps in saving time, ensuring faster deployment, decreasing downtime and human error along with freeing up employees’ on the redundant tasks. However, despite the tremendous potential and benefits of server automation, many IT departments are yet to embrace it.
The Future Outlook: Automation of IT infrastructure holds the key to digital transformation. It provides a huge boost to organizations by freeing high performers’ from performing the mundane tasks and focus more on innovative work that adds real value to their organization. Automation of the entire server infrastructure, from deployment to withdrawal, with embedded intelligence would vividly increase efficiency, reduces human error and improves productivity, making organizations IT team become more efficient and higher customer satisfaction. Moreover, server automation would also be the key of modernizing approximately 50% of today’s applications that currently cannot be shifted to the public cloud.
