Agilent Technologies Inc. and NXP Semiconductors demonstrated Agilent’s award-winning Nonlinear Vector Network Analyzer during EuMW in Manchester, UK. The NVNA, which runs on Agilent’s PNA-X Series network analyzers, will be used to characterize a high-power LDMOS transistor from NXP specifically designed for 2.45 GHz ISM band applications. The NVNA-based...

Aeroflex Ltd. , a wholly owned subsidiary of Aeroflex Holding Corp., announced a new addition to its popular PXI 3000 Series of RF modular instruments with the launch of the 3036 RF digitizer module, with frequency range extending to 13 GHz, for use in vector signal analysis of complex...

Computer Simulation Technology is previewing the new System Assembly and Modeling (SAM) environment at EuMW in booth 213. Today’s design engineers have to deal with increasingly complex systems whose performance might be affected by the interdependence of components. Consequently, the optimization of the individual components in isolation is still...

Analog Devices Inc. (ADI) introduced the ADRF6806 and ADRF6807 quadrature demodulators featuring the industry’s highest dynamic range and integration, which is effective for a wide range of broadband communication applications such as cellular infrastructure and microwave point-to-point radios. The latest members of ADI’s RF IC portfolio, the ADRF6806 demodulator...

OMMIC announced the release of three new GaAs MMICs: • The CGY2123UH, is an LNA operating in the 32 to 38 GHz band. It has a NF of 2.3 dB and 23 dB of gain at 35 GHz. • The CGY2173UH is a 6 bit wideband phase shifter, operating...

TriQuint Semiconductor Inc. , a leading RF solutions supplier and technology innovator, introduced a family of reflective MMIC RF and microwave SPDT switches that combine the higher power-handling ability of gallium nitride (GaN) with high speed, low insertion loss, high isolation and broad frequency coverage of DC to 6,...

Computer Simulation Technology (CST) is previewing its new multi-layer solver in CST STUDIO SUITE at EuMW in booth 213. Complete Technology for EM simulation is one of the key strengths of CST STUDIO SUITE. Having access to a choice of available simulation methods allows the user to select the...

Increasingly satellite operators are focusing on utilizing the Ka-Band to expand capacity. Although by definition the Ka-Band covers the frequency band from 26.5 to 40 GHz, Ka-Band for satellite applications generally uses the frequency range around 20 GHz for the downlink and 30 GHz for the uplink. Ever-growing SatCom...

Crystek Corp. has designed the CVCOT8BE-2400-2500 TO-8 VCO that operates from 2400 to 2500 MHz and provides high performance frequency control in harsh, demanding environments. The VCO features a typical phase noise of -101 dBc/Hz at 10 KHz offset and excellent linearity. Tuning sensitivity is rated at 55 MHz/V....
