Agilent Technologies Inc. announced it will show its newest wireless design and test solutions that address present and future test technology challenges in  LTE, LTE-A, and 3GPP, Releases 11 and 12, at Mobile World Congress, Feb. 24-27, Barcelona, Spain.

Crystek's CVCO55CC-2700-2700 voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) operates at 2700 MHz with a control voltage range of 0.5 ~4.5 V. This VCO features a typical phase noise of -118 dBc/Hz @ 10 KHz offset and has excellent linearity. Output power is typically +7 dBm.

Aeroflex Ltd. has enhanced its S-Series signal generators (SGA and SGD) with improved phase noise and better RF level accuracy. At a carrier frequency of 1 GHz, phase noise is now improved by 6 dB at frequency offsets from 100 kHz to 1 MHz, giving a figure of typically -140 dBc/Hz between these offsets.

CST, a leading EM simulation software vendor for high-speed and Signal Integrity analysis and Anritsu,  a leading provider of test instruments for SI and high-speed digital measurements, RF/microwave and wireless test solutions will be among the premier level EDI CON sponsors highlighting SI and high speed solutions in their submitted presentations to the technical conference, workshops and in-booth demos. Both will discuss the challenges of high speed interconnect characterization and the use of frequency based measurement/modeling approaches such as s-parameters in the time domain analyses favored by high-speed designer.  

M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc. ("MACOM"), a leading supplier of high performance analog, RF, microwave and millimeter wave products, announced that it has acquired Nitronex LLC, a leader in the design and manufacture of gallium nitride (GaN) based RF solutions. The acquisition of Nitronex is expected to provide MACOM with fundamental and innovative GaN-on-Silicon epitaxial and pendeoepitaxial semiconductor process technology and materials for use in RF applications.

AWR Corp. has released a new customer success story that demonstrates how the AWR Graduate Gift Initiative played a role in helping Dr. Dominic FitzPatrick found PoweRFul Microwave.

The new R&S SMW-K541 digital predistortion option from Rohde & Schwarz allows users to import predistortion coefficient tables directly into the R&S SMW200A high-end vector signal generator.

The European Space Agency has announced that the in-orbit validation of Galileo has been achieved: Europe now has the operational nucleus of its own satellite navigation constellation in place – the world’s first civil-owned and operated satnav system

Anite has launched a major multi-link emulation enhancement to its Propsim channel emulator platform, significantly increasing the performance testing capacity of LTE-Advanced multi-mode chipsets, devices and base stations.

Signal integrity engineers and high speed digital engineers of multi-gigabit links are experiencing design challenges often associated with microwave frequencies. As a result, test instrument and simulation software vendors are providing solutions to tackle high speed channel characterization and design. The EDI CON technical tracks have been expanded in 2014 to include a new dedicated signal integrity, high-speed digital and EMC/EMI modeling/measurement track featuring papers on the challenges facing high-speed digital designers at the chip, package and board levels. The added HSD/EMC measurement and modeling track will take place on Thursday morning, April 10^th. This track comprised of eight, 20 minute peer-reviewed presentations will complement related papers in the design tracks and various afternoon workshops held throughout the entire conference.
