Skyworks Solutions Inc. expanded its wireless portfolio with the introduction of highly integrated front-end modules enabling 802.11ac connectivity in smartphones and tablets. The company’s precision analog semiconductors are already being utilized in many of the world’s first commercially-available 802.11ac notebooks, ultrabooks, LED TVs, routers, USB data cards and Blu-Ray® players.

RFMW Ltd. announces design and sales support for Sangshin Elecom ceramic monoblock filters targeting digital pre-distortion (DPD) applications where anti-aliasing filters are required to improve system performance. Sangshin offers a complete line of filters with bandwidths of 400 MHz, 360 MHz, and 300 MHz in all popular cellular frequencies.

Agilent Technologies Inc. launched the Agilent EEsof EDA Student License Program, designed to provide access to Agilent EEsof EDA software on students’ personal computers. 

Custom MMIC, (www.CustomMMIC.com), a developer of performance-driven monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs), is now offering a new passive 6-10 GHz I/Q mixer, the CMD182C4.

For its first year, the EDI CON organizers relied on their experience as editors of Microwave Journal and Microwave Journal China to put together a technical program that had something for mostly everyone involved in high-frequency electronic design and system integration. The latest systems of interest from space (GNSS) to 4G (TD-LTE) to very close (Near-Field Communications) are being represented in the technical tracks and workshops.

M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc., a supplier of high performance analog semiconductor solutions, announced two power amplifiers for point-to-point (PtP) radios for cellular backhaul applications.

Texas Instruments Inc. (TI) and Sub10 Systems, a manufacturer of point-to-point millimetre wave radio links, announced their collaboration on a differentiated and future-proof  backhaul solution for small cell base stations.

Peregrine Semiconductor Corp. announced from Mobile World Congress in Barcelona that the company is collaborating with Intel on the latest generation of its popular DuNE™ tuning technology offering for Intel’s LTE platform reference design. 

Rohde & Schwarz adds the rugged, passive R&S RT ZZ80 broadband probe to its portfolio. This probe offers a bandwidth of 8 GHz. When analyzing electronic circuits, passive broadband probes such as the R&S RT-ZZ80 are a cost-efficient, rugged alternative to active, high bandwidth probes. They are well-suited for testing transmission lines with low impedance (20 Ohm to 100 Ohm).   

Skyworks Solutions Inc., an innovator of high performance analog semiconductors enabling a broad range of end markets, is ramping several antenna tuning products with leading smartphone manufacturers. Skyworks’ devices are meeting the market demand for tunable antennas which dramatically improve performance by increasing data throughput, reducing dropped calls and minimizing the antenna footprint needed for today’s multiband LTE smartphones.
