Selex ES has partnered with BAE Systems in a bid to replace radar surveillance sensors, providing new generation capabilities and increased operating efficiencies for Australia's Defence Air Traffic Control.

Cree Inc. will be a first time exhibitor this year in the RF/Microwave Zone at CTIA 2013. The RF Zone, which is organized and managed by Microwave Journal, features approximately twenty RF component and communication IC manufacturers along with test equipment providers. Cree is a world’s leading manufacturer of GaN HEMT devices, which are ideally suited for a host of telecom applications in both macro-base stations and small cells. These devices are perfect for applications seeking to improve bandwidth, efficiency, frequency of operation, or for transmitters challenged to reduce size and weight.

Cassidian has signed a seven-year system maintenance contract with the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency for the Rakel nationwide radio communications network.

NXP Semiconductors has introduced a groundbreaking family of programmable AISG transceivers for wireless base stations and antenna line devices such as tower-mounted amplifiers and remote electric tilt antennas.

The Taiwanese telecommunications company Chunghwa Telecom, as the prime contractor, has awarded Cassidian the contract to deploy an island-wide TETRA network in Taiwan.

Blighter Surveillance Systems has been set up to target systems integrators delivering sophisticated surveillance solutions into the global defence and commercial security markets.

NEC Corp. announced the deployment of its iPASOLINK microwave mobile backhaul series for NURTS Bulgaria JSC, one of the leading broadcasting companies in Bulgaria.

Indra has deployed in Uruguay, the first controller-pilot communications network completely based on IP technology, which provides full coverage to the nation’s air traffic.

CST PCB STUDIO (CST PCBS) is a specialist tool for signal integrity (SI), power integrity (PI), and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)analysis on printed circuit boards (PCB). It integrates easily into your design flow by providing powerful import filters for popular EDA tools from Cadence, Mentor Graphics, Zuken, and Altium. Prior to modeling and simulation, the imported layout is automatically checked in order to correct potential geometric errors.

Oslo Gardermoen Airport has implemented the first fully operational Terma SCANTER 5502 Solid State Surface Movement Radar, which is integrated into HITT’s A3000 A-SMGCS.

The new application note “Solutions for Design and Test of 8x8 LTE MIMO” is designed to help you get insight into solving tough measurement problems in a unique way for both the design and manufacturing environments by explaining how to combine simulation with test solutions to realize high-performance 8x8 MIMO designs.

Trying to increase battery life? Trying to be green or increase energy efficiency?  If so, then current consumption is most likely one of your key concerns.  Today's multi-tasking, battery-powered devices boast powerful processors, incorporate back-lit touch-screen displays, and have amassed multiple radio receivers and transmitters that are sending and receiving data at unprecedented rates.

This application note is designed to help you get insight into solving tough measurement problems in a unique way for both the design and manufacturing environments by explaining how to use simulated satellite signals to quickly and accurately verify GNSS receiver operation. The successful proliferation of GNSS receiv­ers worldwide requires today’s engineers to effectively test GNSS receivers with multi-GNSS signals. A real-time GNSS simulator like the N7609B, with its flexibility, func­tionality and performance is well suited to address this task. Combined with the power of an EXG/MXG X-Series signal generator, it provides the real-time simulation of GPS, GLONASS and Galileo L1/E1 signals that is so critical to quickly and accurately testing today’s GNSS receivers.
