TriQuint Semiconductor Inc. , a leading RF solutions supplier and technology innovator, released a family of broadband, digitally-controlled variable gain amplifiers (DVGA) that combine high linearity, gain and output power with a low noise figure and a broad range of output gain control. These integrated products are internally matched...

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...
