Radio Communications Download the Puzzler (PDF) Across 1 The state of play of MIMO OTA standardization in 3 GPP is summarized in this document, which is in the study phase prior to formal standardization 8 The CTIA uses the term Total Isotropic Sensitivity (TIS) for this figure of merit...

AABroadband announces the VCO2-1750, a fundamental mode reflection oscillator that utilizes a silicon bipolar transistor and hyper-abrupt silicon varactor diodes to create a highly linear voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) with wideband tuning characteristics. The device is useful for many wireless applications where high frequency and linear modulation is required. The...

Tektronix Inc. , a manufacturer of oscilloscopes, announced continued expansion of its support for MIPI® (Mobile Industry Processor Interface) Standards with the release of Option D-PHYTX on the TekExpress platform which offers the industry’s first simplified one-button solution for the latest D-PHY specification across a preliminary set of measurements....

The continuation of worldwide peace-keeping operations by the United Kingdom, United States and coalition allies has placed a continued reliance upon the use of Special Operations Forces to perform information-harvesting and security-based activities such as covert reconnaissance and surveillance, and directed counter-terrorism strikes. Key to the success of these...

As the spectrum grows more crowded, higher and higher frequencies are being used. One example is microwave backhaul for cell sites in the 38 GHz range, although there are many others as well. The new Spectrum Master™ MS272xC series from Anritsu Co., which includes the industry's first 32 and...

Both radar and communication systems are RF systems that can be combined with a partially shared technology basis. The challenge is to combine them with the aim of improving radar performance. A network of radar stations, where each station would operate either mono-statically or bi-statically, could be used to...

A chaff cloud is made of metallic strips cut to obtain a resonant length. They are dispensed by a vehicle in the air to create a false signature in the enemy radar, masking the real vehicle return signal. Therefore, the detection and tracking become more complicated. The impact of...

As serial data speeds increase, instrumentation for characterizing and debugging the next generation of protocols is required. A real-time oscilloscope family with 32 GHz of bandwidth and the lowest reported jitter and noise floor has been developed, providing engineers superb signal integrity for characterizing and debugging the fastest interfaces....

Analog Devices Inc. (ADI) collaborated with industry leading programmable-logic vendor Xilinx Inc. to introduce a radio architecture development platform that helps multi-carrier cellular base station manufacturers reduce engineering resources and improve time to market. ADI’s MS-DPD (mixed-signal, digital pre-distortion) development platform simplifies the wireless infrastructure design process by allowing...
