Crystek’s new CVCO55CXT-5800-5800 Coaxial Resonator Oscillator (CRO) is a coaxial-based VCO with an internal proprietary frequency doubler. The CVCO55CXT family’s frequency doubling, 2X fundamental technology reaches new performance levels of lower phase noise and much lower harmonics over the competition, while achieving lower current consumption in the process. The...
In spite of, and in several instances because of the cutbacks in defense expenditures, the avionics side of the industry is surviving almost unscathed and most parts of this segment exhibit growing markets. EW systems and radars will always be vitally important and, as well as new implementations, system...
Raytheon Co. has developed a miniaturized interrogation antenna capability to extend use of its Cooperative Target ID technology to soldiers and unmanned aircraft to help prevent fratricide. This effort builds upon an existing Raytheon antenna design and additional enhancements performed in concert with the U.S. Army CERDEC Intelligence &...
Northrop Grumman Corp. has successfully participated in the 2011 Northern Edge joint military exercise by demonstrating key F-35 Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) sensor capabilities in a demanding operational environment. The AN/APG-81 active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar and AN/AAQ-37 Distributed Aperture System (DAS) were mounted aboard Northrop Grumman's BAC1-11...
The first European antenna that is part of the Atacama Large Millimetre/submillimetre Array (ALMA) was handed over to the European Southern Observatory (ESO) in April. The antenna, which was under contract from the ESO, was manufactured by the European AEM Consortium (Thales Alenia Space, European Industrial Engineering and MT-Mechatronics)....
In an effort to help Europe develop world-class research and close the innovation gap between the European Union and its main competitors, the US and Japan, the EU is making about €7 B available in the latest round of grants. This is part of the €53 B available through...
The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) has published the ETSI Technical Committee for Satellite Earth stations and Systems (TC SES) specification TS 102 855, which considers how broadband satellite multimedia networks can be integrated into the Next Generation Network (NGN) architecture. It explores the technical challenges for satellite networks...
