With effect from 1 August, Sumitomo Electric Industries Ltd. and Eudyna Devices Inc. have reorganised their optical and electronic devices business by way of an absorption-type corporate split. On that date Eudyna also changed its corporate name to Sumitomo Electric Device Innovations Inc., while Excelight Communications Inc., the overseas...

Vendors of crystal oscillators are the guardians of a design and manufacturing tradition going back to the early 20th century, and some of today’s market participants trace their origins to those early days. Their products, evolved over more than 75 years, require craftsmanship and exacting fabrication skills to produce,...

The Strategy Analytics GaAs and Compound Semiconductor Technologies (GaAs) service report, “GaAs Device Opportunities from the SATCOM/VSAT Market: 2008-2013,” concludes that long design cycles and pent-up demand driven by the consumer sector will allow the very small aperture terminals (VSAT) market to weather the current economic storm better than...

Space Systems/Loral (SS/L), a subsidiary of Loral Space & Communications and a provider of commercial satellites, announced that it has been awarded a contract to provide two new satellites to Intelsat, a provider of fixed satellite services (FSS) worldwide. The two satellites, Intelsat-19 and Intelsat-20, will be among the...

High Definition Television (HDTV) is an already mature consumer electronics (CE) field. However, it is a field that is still cluttered by a rats nest of interconnecting wires. Home theatre systems are often built around a sleek, flat-panel audio-visual (AV) display hanging on a wall, often connected to a...

Commercial and military satellites require cost-effective ICs that meet stringent high-reliability standards. In addition, they need to provide distinct advantages that allow designers to advance satellite technology in order to meet changing needs, especially in terms of cost (weight, power), reliability (number of transmission lines, radiation tolerance, redundancy) and...

Skyworks Solutions has developed a new family of two-stage low noise amplifiers (LNA): SKY65048-360LF, SKY65049-360LF and SKY65066-360LF. These amplifiers are fabricated with an advanced Skyworks PHEMT 0.5 µm process and packaged in low cost, miniature QFN 2x2 mm 8-lead plastic packages. Together, the three new products cover a frequency...
