With today’s emphasis on superior performance in a smaller, lighter, more cost-effective package, why settle for yesterday’s chip and wire solutions? Narda Defense Technology Solutions has pioneered the development of high performance, densely packaged Integrated Microwave Assemblies and Sub-Systems in footprints previously considered unachievable.

The series of application-focused webcasts instruct to make precise RF and microwave measurements with the new FieldFox family of microwave analyzers. Test results are comparable to that of benchtop equipment in the lab as well as field installation and maintenance environments. Topics include techniques for precise interference measurements, cable and antenna measurements, calibration and alignment measurements, time domain measurements and precise power measurements.

State of the Art (SOTA) Inc., a leading manufacturer of military, space level  and high reliability chip resistors, introduces a new line of temperature variable attenuators (TVA) for both high reliability and commercial applications. They are available in a 1512 case size (.150" X .125" X .020") with single surface solderable or wire bondable terminations.

Rogers Corp. will be participating in the PCB West 2012 Conference & Exhibition in both the technical program and the exhibition floor. The PCB West 2012 Conference & Exhibition (www.pcbwest.com) features a three-day technical conference (September 25-27) and one-day exhibition hall (September 26). Rogers Corporation (www.rogerscorp.com) welcomes visitors to join them for the PCB West 2012 Conference & Exhibition to learn more about the practical use of its high performance PCB materials.

The U.S. Air Force has awarded Northrop Grumman a contract to demonstrate technologies for its Three-Dimensional Expeditionary Long-Range Radar (3DELRR) program.

Agilent Technologies Inc. announced it will demonstrate a 32-Gb/s bit error ratio tester at ECOC (Amsterdam RAI, Hall 1, Stand 712) in Amsterdam, Sept. 17-19.

Companies, governments, and industries are increasingly turning to RFID as they look to modernize their operations, becoming more efficient and enabling quicker, more convenient service. The traditional uses of RFID for the identification of animals, people, and within the automotive sector are continuing to grow and are projected to increase by $2.8 billion from 2012 to 2017. However, ABI Research’s new RFID Market Tracker found that modernizing RFID applications will grow twice as fast with annual revenues derived from these jumping by $4.5 billion in the same timeframe.

Advantech Wireless, a Canadian-based manufacturer of broadcast-quality Satellite, RF Equipment and Microwave Systems announces the release of a new series of indoor, GaN technology based solid state power amplifiers (SSPAs) and BUCs featuring high power, high linearity and a compact size. Named the Super Compact SG Series, the high power amplifiers can easily replace old technology and inefficient TWTAs, offering enormous cost saving and reduce operating costs. The units practically pay for themselves in a short time.

Vishay Precision Group Inc. unveiled a new demonstration video that shows the actual process by which the company's Vishay Foil Resistors (VFR) brand is able to ship samples of Bulk Metal® Foil precision resistors within any resistance value within a 0.01% tolerance within one to five days. 

Mesuro, the Cardiff University spin-out, which offers testing and services solutions for the semiconductor industry, has announced successful completion and installation of its Open Loop Active Harmonic Load Pull system at Miyoshi Corp., Itami, Japan. This system represents the company’s first success in what it sees as the potentially lucrative Japanese market.
