Tektronix Service Solutions , a single-source provider of instrument calibration, repair and related services, announced the expansion of services into Canada with a new service lab in Mississauga, Ontario. The expansion provides enhanced service options and added flexibility for companies that rely on their test, measurement and control instrumentation...

Peregrine Semiconductor Corp. , a provider of high performance radio frequency (RF) integrated circuits (IC), and Soitec (Euronext Paris), a supplier of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafers and advanced solutions for the electronics and energy industries, announced the joint development and ramp in production of a new bonded silicon-on-sapphire (SOS) substrate...

Auriga Microwave recently secured two contracts with Department of Defense prime contractors. The work product from the two contracts will be derived from Auriga’s ongoing successful efforts within the Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) program. “This is incredibly exciting for us, as these contracts validate our efforts in building...

Wireless Telecom Group Inc. (WTG) announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Boonton Electronics , has been awarded a contract with the Department of the United States Navy to supply Boonton’s 4500B RF Peak Power Meter in support of a Naval Sea Systems Command project. The total value of the contract...

Endwave Corp. , a provider of high frequency RF MMICs and integrated transmit/receive modules, has an advantage when housing its high performance monolithic-microwave-integrated-circuit (MMIC) products in a surface-mount package. By re-engineering the widely accepted QFN, or Quad Flat No-leads surface-mount-technology (SMT) package, Endwave has more than doubled the usable...

In broadband communication systems, such as ultra-wideband (UWB), low impedance transformation is required for impedance matching between active devices because the input and output impedances of the FETs are much lower than 50 Ω in the RF band. 1 Therefore, for efficient impedance matching in a radio frequency integrated...

There is an increasing demand for evaluating a component’s performance in the system environment. The performance of an antenna depends on the platform it is installed on, for example, and the antenna itself might be a system built from various RF components. The importance of the EM system simulation...
