Custom MMIC, a developer of performance-driven monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs), is pleased to announce the product release of the CMD201, a new DC to 20 GHz distributed MMIC power amplifier in die form.

Mobile Experts released a 94-page market study, which provides detailed analysis of Small Cells and Low Power Base Stations. In this market study, deep insights are revealed to illustrate how the mobile infrastructure market is changing to address a need for concentrated mobile traffic in multiple scenarios.

Advantech Wireless Inc., a privately-held Canadian corporation and manufacturer of satellite, RF equipment and microwave systems will give a live demo of the Next Generation Discovery Adaptive Satellite Access Technology (A-SAT™) platform at NAB 2014, which will take place April 7 – 10, 2014, in Las Vegas, Nevada USA.

Sapienza University of Rome Professor Stefano Pisa supervised a graduate research project that used AWR’s Microwave Office® circuit design software to model, analyze, and design ultra wideband (UWB) radars for the novel use of remotely monitoring breath activity.

Agilent Technologies Inc. announced the successful validation of its T3111S NFC Test System for NFC Forum Analog testing.

Indium Corp.’s Dr. Ning-Cheng Lee, vice president of technology, Dr. Yan Liu, research chemist, Joanna Keck, research technician and Erin Page, research technician, were awarded Honorable Mention for their paper "Voiding and Drop Test Performance of Lead-Free Low-Melting and Medium-Melting Mixed Alloy BGA Assembly" at the opening ceremony of the IPC APEX Expo on March 25. 

MACOM announced an IP licensing program for Gallium Nitride (GaN) on silicon technology.  MACOM detailed recent progress in two areas critical to realizing its future vision of enabling the mainstream adoption of GaN as a large-scale RF semiconductor technology across the industry.

Millitech Inc., a Smiths Microwave business and leader in the design and manufacturing of millimeter wave products, has been named “2013 Supplier of the Year” by Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems in the Special Recognition category.

Linear Technology introduces the LT6020, a dual 3V to 30V fast settling operational amplifier, featuring 30µV maximum input offset voltage and 0.5µV/°C max VOS drift. While supply current is only 100µA maximum per amplifier, proprietary slew enhancement circuitry provides fast clean output step response. The LT6020 settles to 0.0015% in less than 15µs regardless of whether the output step is 5V or 25V. Specially designed input circuitry maintains high impedance, minimizing current spikes associated with fast steps for input steps up to 5V.

Richardson RFPD Inc. announces its attendance and participation at EDI CON 2014, including its sponsorships of the GaN Panel and Small Cell Workshop.
