A1 Microwave has recently developed a range of Ka-Band combiners for satellite communications transmitter applications. The 2 and 4 way combiners are used to combine the output power levels produced from transmitter amplifiers to achieve an overall high output level.

Rohde & Schwarz has enhanced its new R&S SMW200A high-end vector signal generator by adding the R&S SMW K540 option for envelope tracking. This option enables quick and easy testing of envelope tracking power amplifiers for smartphones, base stations and tactical radios.   

Skyworks Solutions Inc. introduces four linear power amplifiers for LTE and WCDMA applications. The fully matched surface mount SKY66001-11 (2110 to 2170 MHz), SKY66002-11 (1900 to 2025 MHz), SKY66005-11 (850 to 920 MHz) and SKY66008-11 (900 to 990 MHz) modules meet the stringent spectral linearity requirements of femtocell applications with high power-added efficiency. An integrated directional coupler eliminates the need for any external coupler.

If you are assessing the power conversion efficiency of your power amplifiers, you are probably making power-added efficiency (PAE) measurements. Most PAE test setups use multiple instruments – such as RF power meters, digital oscilloscopes and DC power analyzers – to calculate RF voltage and current measurements.

Mini-Circuits is pleased to contribute to the 2013 IEEE Conference on Microwaves, Communications, Antennas, and Electronic Systems(COMCAS) as a platinum sponsor. Representatives from Mini-Circuits and MCDI, Mini-Circuits’ new distributor in Israel, will be exhibiting at Booth 31 with a showcase of its rapidly growing line of portable test equipment and other selected new products.

NuWaves Engineering, an international Radio Frequency (RF) and Embedded Systems solutions provider, announces it has achieved both ISO 9001:2008 and AS9100:2009 Rev C certifications for its Quality Management System by EAGLE Registrations Inc. With an effective date of August 15, 2013, the registration is valid for three years and its scope includes research and development as well as design and production of RF systems and subsystems.

Hittite Microwave Corp., the world class supplier of complete MMIC based solutions for communication & military markets, has launched a new power amplifier which maintains excellent performance over its operating frequency range. The new amplifier, HMC6981LS6, is ideal for high linearity point-to-point and point-to-multi-point radios, SATCOM, military and space applications.

The R&S BBA150 broadband amplifier from Rohde & Schwarz is now also available with a frequency range from 2.5 GHz to 6.0 GHz. The new frequency range is an addition to the already existing range from 0.8 GHz to 3.0 GHz. Thanks to their state-of-the-art design, the amplifiers, which have been optimized for high frequencies, deliver high output power, and are still compact and lightweight.

David Choi, Ph.D. joins Mercury Systems as technical director, RF power amplifiers. Choi brings over a decade of experience and a wide breadth and depth of knowledge spanning the commercial and defense industries as well as academia.

Teledyne Paradise Datacom LLC, a division of Teledyne Microwave Solutions, will be showcasing in a single booth at IBC 2013 three of the industry’s state-of-the-art products for high power amplifiers, high power Traveling Wave Tube Amplifiers (TWTAs), and new software-defined modems.
