A trombone is a length of coaxial cable mounted on a sliding mechanism. The physics are simple: lengthen the path, lengthen the time. What took Dr. Siegfried Knorr years of engineering to solve was everything else. That gap is where Colby Instruments has spent nearly five decades of its history, and it explains why a … Inside the Trombone: The Physics Behind Colby’s Patented Technology
Your test system generates a signal. You need to know how your device responds when that signal arrives a little later, or at a different phase. Manually moving a cable will not give you the resolution you need, and it will not give you repeatability. This is the problem that programmable delay lines solve. For … What Is a Programmable Delay Line? A Practical Guide for Engineers
In 1977, UCLA professor Dr. Siegfried Knorr built a pulse generator faster than Hewlett Packard could produce. This is the founding story of Colby Instruments and the electromechanical trombone patent that changed precision electronics. In 1977, an electrical engineering professor at UCLA had a problem. He had built the world’s fastest rise-time pulse generator, faster … The Engineer Who Built the World’s Fastest Pulse Generator

This strategic collaboration combines Terra’s extensive international market expertise and distribution networks with Colby’s industry leading programmable delay line instrument and phase shifters, which … Terra Global Solution partners with Colby Instruments
GPS jamming and spoofing affects around 900 commercial flights every day and thousands of vessels at sea. Here is what the threat means for aviation and maritime operations. For most passengers boarding a commercial flight, GPS is invisible infrastructure, background technology that works until it does not. For pilots, it is something else entirely: a … When the map lies: What GPS jamming and spoofing mean for aviation and maritime operations
When European broadcast technology companies discuss their most advanced solutions, they frequently encounter a surprising response from Asian and Middle Eastern prospects: “We implemented that two years ago.” Broadcasters in Singapore, Seoul, Dubai, and Tokyo are deploying next-generation production technologies at a pace that outstrips adoption in London, Paris, or New York. For SMEs developing … 5G, IP Workflows, and Cloud Production: Why Asian and Middle Eastern Broadcasters Are Adopting New Technology Faster Than Western Markets
Your stand at CABSAT in Dubai attracted solid interest, you collected business cards and LinkedIn connections from broadcasters and systems integrators across the GCC countries and had several conversations which seem genuinely promising. Yet three months later, most of those leads have gone cold. The enthusiastic technical manager who loved your solution isn’t returning emails. … From CABSAT Conversations to Contracts: Turning Middle East Trade Show Leads into Revenue
