Solid-State Microwave High-Power Amplifiers Franco Sechi and Marina Bujatti Solid-State Microwave High-Power Amplifiers covers only solid-state power amplifiers (SSPA) and focuses on the highest powers reachable with solid-state technology. This ranges from a few watts for multioctave bandwidths to hundreds of watts for narrow band devices concentrating on the...

The current trend towards increased data rates in mobile services has direct implications for the power amplifiers operating in these systems, which now need to be not only efficient but also wideband and, above all, linear. To operate efficiently, an amplifying device needs to see its optimum terminations at...

The increasing demand of the wireless communication service creates a demand for broadband networks and higher operating frequencies in the market place. As the operating frequency shifts higher, the generation of low drive level, fast start-up, low phase noise and stable reference signal sources with low cost become challenging...

As part of the recent merger that added Mimix Broadband Inc. and its subsidiaries to the M/A-COM Tech family of companies, Mimix Asia has changed its operating name to M/A-COM Tech Asia . M/A-COM Tech Asia is focused on the design and manufacture of innovative products aimed at addressing...

There is probably no European city as 'well connected' as Paris, both culturally with regards to its sophistication, fashion, gourmet lifestyle, history, architecture, etc., and geographically in terms of its location and its pan-European and global transportation links. It is therefore no surprise that the theme of the 13...

The Eiffel Tower is known the world over as a 'must see' landmark when visiting Paris. For the industry, another attraction that must not be missed this year is the 13 th European Microwave Week, which will be held at the CNIT la Défense, in the French capital from...

Individual companies, from SMEs to large organisations, research bodies and academic institutes in Europe, have had to face up to the realities brought about by the economic downturn and adapt their operation and practices to the prevailing market conditions. For some, survival has not been easy, with a number...

While work is ongoing on GaN and SiC technologies, Strategy Analytics predicts that GaAs will continue to represent the primary compound semiconductor technology for defense markets through 2014. The focus for GaAs MMIC utilization in the military market is on communications, RADAR and smart munitions; Strategy Analytics expects the...

Representing a growing market for communications electronics, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) will be the fastest growing category of airborne platforms. The Strategy Analytics Advanced Defense Services (ADS) forecast model, "Airborne Communications Platforms - Advanced Electronics Component Forecast," concludes that with the number of airborne platforms growing and increasingly sophisticated...
