COMSOL Inc.
RF Module
The latest version of the RF module, an add-on product available in the COMSOL Multiphysics® software, features an extended part library with edge launch connectors and a new adaptive frequency sweep study type. This study type enables users to compute the frequency response of a linear model more efficiently while using a very fine frequency resolution with the asymptotic waveform evaluation (AWE)—a reduced-order modeling technique.

Exceed Microwave
Waveguide Diplexers
Exceed Microwave’s WC-Series waveguide diplexers can provide very wide passbands and also comes in small sizes. DPX-WC-22-28-34 is a WR34 diplexer covering nearly the entire waveguide operating frequency band. Each channel bandwidth of DPX-WC-22-28-34 is roughly 20 percent while maintaining very good return loss at all ports. The size is only 1.5 x 1.8 x 0.9 in. which allows waveguide assemblies to be compact. WC-Series diplexers are available in different waveguide sizes. Exceed Microwave designs and manufactures high performance waveguide and coaxial filters.

RFE
Broadband Synthesizer
RFE’s broadband Synthesizer covering the entire 0.1 to 20 GHz spectrum is reliable, fast tuning and low cost. The design takes advantage of the latest readily available MMIC components, which reduces the parts count and module footprint. It also minimizes the need for hand-tuning. The result is a low-cost, lightweight, fully-integrated module able to perform in the harshest environments. Smallest possible footprint 3 x 3 x 0.7 in., least weight, with < 50 µs tuning speed option.
