TEGAM Inc., a leading supplier of innovative RF power measurements, was recently awarded Patent No. 8,558,556, “Planar-axial thermistor for bolometry.” This patent describes a novel way to construct very small planar thermistors on a substrate with very low heat transfer. The thermistors are more thermally isolated from the environment than are commercially-produced thermistors. Both the small size and thermal isolation make them useful for measuring RF power at microwave frequencies up to 70 GHz.

Aeroflex/Inmet, an operating unit of Aeroflex Inc., has rebranded the surface mount resistive power products which were previously marketed under the Aeroflex/KDI-Resistor Products banner as POWERFILM™. This product line was transferred to Aeroflex/Inmet in August 2011, whereas product improvements coupled with pending new product introductions, provide a platform to introduce a new brand refocused on the foundation built over the past 50 years.

Florida RF Labs has added broadband resistive power dividers to the HybriX® line of signal distribution products. The new RPD series offers significant advantages over on-board multi-resistor design by providing excellent broadband frequency response, highly repeatable performance, and streamlined assembly process in a monolithic surface-mountable chip package.
