In 1999, within the pristine walls of Raytheon’s acclaimed microchip foundry in Andover, MA, engineers covered from head to toe in white protective suits first began their research into a promising new technology: gallium nitride.

Fox Electronics, a leading global supplier of frequency control solutions and an IDT company, now offers the low power FTP Series, a surface mount OCXO featuring a compact footprint of only 14.3 x 9.3 x 6.7 mm and power consumption of only 0.6 W maximum.

DragonWave® Inc., a leading global supplier of packet microwave radio systems for mobile and access networks, announced it has expanded its product portfolio with the introduction of the Harmony Eband, a compact, lightweight radio that operates in the 70-80 GHz spectrum with low-energy consumption. The Harmony Eband provides an enhanced option for mobile backhaul markets, providing reach comparable at 23-38 GHz, higher capacity and a lower OPEX expansion solution. 

Agilent Technologies Inc. and FIME, an advanced secure-chip testing provider, have announced an agreement to work together to deliver pioneering testing solutions to the payments and telecommunications markets.

Skyworks Solutions Inc., an innovator of high performance analog semiconductors enabling a broad range of end markets announced that its front-end modules, low noise amplifiers, switches and power detectors are being utilized across the world’s foremost gaming platforms such as the Sony PlayStation®, Nintendo Wii™ and Microsoft Xbox. Skyworks has been delivering RF solutions across nearly all gaming platforms for several generations.

Pasternack Enterprises Inc., an industry leading manufacturer and global supplier of RF and microwave products, releases all new lines of medium and high power RF loads. These new RF loads (also referred to as RF terminations and dummy loads) are commonly used in military/aerospace, defense and test and measurement applications in order to protect radios and amplifiers under test from excess power in the system.

Nutaq, a world leader in high-performance data acquisition and software-defined radio systems (SDR), creates a separate entity for its line of wireless end products, named NuRAN Wireless.

Fairview Microwave Inc. a preeminent supplier of on-demand microwave and RF components, introduces a complete line of mini-DIN 4.1/9.5 adapters intended for use in applications requiring low passive intermodulation (low PIM) performance such as cell sites or indoor/outdoor distributed antenna systems (DAS). 

MIMOtech, a specialist in high capacity point-to-point radios, has announced a strategic partnership with CSG Science & Technology Co. Ltd. (CSG Hefei), under which CSG Hefei has acquired an undisclosed amount of MIMOtech’s share capital.

Isola Group S.à r.l., a market leader in dielectric materials used to fabricate advanced multilayer printed circuit boards, announced that GETEK® laminates and prepegs are now in production at its facility in Düren, Germany, which will shorten lead times to Isola’s European customers. GETEK materials provide the low-dielectric constant and low-dissipation factors  demanded by high-speed, low-loss printed circuit board designs and applications, while providing superior thermal performance and high reliability based on the system’s 180°C glass transition temperature (Tg).
