ERZIA Technologies has announced the release of a compact, WHPA that operates from 2 to 20 GHz while providing 37 dBm of output power and 36 dB of gain.

The past several years have seen wide upheaval in the space communication sector, from satellite payloads to ground station technology. This renaissance of space communications has largely been a shift from the five-decade-long approach of highly dedicated satellite communication and ground station technology to increased digitization and virtualization. A key aspect of this transformation is the digitization of satellite RF systems to yield more compact, lower weight, more configurable, and lower cost. Learn about this evolving trend.

Teledyne e2v is sampling beta versions of its EV12DD700 dual-channel DACs. These wide output bandwidth 12- or 8-bit data converters handle sample rates to 12 GSPS, providing the capability to generate signal waveforms in multiple frequency bands and first to operate within Ka-Band.
