Using NMDG extension kits for vector network analysers, the user is able to characterise the nonlinear behaviour of HF components in time and frequency domain under realistic conditions, even in a non-50 Ohm environment. However, from an engineering point of view, the large signal network analyser (LSNA) techniques are...

Sematron is exhibiting the industry’s first commercially available Chip Scale Atomic Clock (CSAC) at the European Microwave Show in booth 218. Manufactured by Symmetricom, the worldwide leader in precision time and frequency technologies, the CSAC provides the accuracy and stability of atomic clock technology while delivering dramatic improvements in...

Permac Electronics will be promoting products from Planar Monolithics Industries during EuMW. Both companies will be in booth 145. One product is an extended range detector log video amplifier. Permac says the amplifier is the world's smallest, lowest power-consuming, CW-immune ERDLVA. The other products are digitally tuned oscillators from...

Mesuro launched a vector network analyser based software solution for Fundamental Only Active Load Pull.

When last month's column was broadcast, I was on a plane to Beijing with an agenda focused on putting our plans for a Chinese edition of Microwave Journal into action. Well, I am happy to report that the plan is proceeding and we are preparing for the launch of...

Along with most, I was rather sad to hear that Steve Jobs passed away the other day. He was truly a brilliant and driven individual following his own path. Coincidently, the news reached me on the same day that I finished writing about the innovative spirit at Apple as...

Cree Inc. , a market leader in silicon carbide (SiC) power devices, continues its mission of advancing the adoption of SiC into mainstream power applications. Cree's advances in SiC technology are setting new standards in energy efficiency while reducing system costs and improving reliability when compared to silicon-based power...

ASC Signal Corp. has been awarded a $3.8 M sub-contract by L-3 Communications Systems-West to build a dual-band antenna system to support global data collection and dissemination worldwide for the US Navy MQ-4C Broad Area Maritime Surveillance Unmanned Aircraft System (BAMS UAS) program. The advanced antenna terminals will be...

"Bond, James Bond." Ever since Ian Fleming's famous agent 007 uttered those words in 1962's "Dr. No," moviegoers have admired this uber-cool member of Her Majesty's Secret Service for his steely approach to villains, beautiful women and high tech gadgets, all while enjoying a martini – shaken not stirred,...
