Accel-RF Instruments
AARTS Platform
Key design features of the industry standard Accel-RF AARTS platform have been redeployed to provide a precise, economical HTRB tester solution. The modular, adaptable configuration allows testing of any semiconductor technology in various package types using world-class fixturing techniques. Precision-controlled heater elements are used rather than an oven-based approach to provide more finite temperature resolution and greater test flexibility. Multi-channel test drawers stack within a rack to provide maximum channel density with minimal lab footprint.
Besser Associates Inc.
RF Technology Certification
RF Technology Certification is an online course designed for professionals who need a solid background in RF and wireless technology and products. The four-part program provides the student with a thorough understanding of RF analytical tools, communication signals, RF devices and test instruments. The program was developed by Besser Associates, a worldwide leader in RF and wireless training.
Coilcraft
Chip Inductors
Measuring just 0.47 × 0.28 × 0.35 mm, Coilcraft 016008C Series chip inductors are the smallest wire-wound chip inductors in the world. They are offered in 36 inductance values from 0.45 to 24 nH and feature up to 40 percent higher Q factors than the best thin-film counterparts. High Q is required to minimize insertion loss in RF antenna impedance matching circuits, making the 016008C Series ideal for high frequency applications such as cell phones, wearable devices and LTE or 5G IoT networks.
COMSOL Inc.
Multiphysics®Version 6.0
COMSOL Multiphysics® version 6.0 and the add-on RF Module offer new functionality for the design of microwave and mmWave devices. A computationally efficient boundary element method speeds up the simulation of scattering problems such as an antenna placed on a large platform. The RF Adaptive Mesh study step simplifies model setup of antennas and circuits by finding optimal mesh for PCBs. The Model Manager—a new platform feature fully integrated with the Model Builder and Application Builder in COMSOL Multiphysics®—enables data management and collaboration including version control, advanced search and efficient storage of models and apps.
COMTECH PST
GaN Amplifier
COMTECH PST introduces a new GaN amplifier for ground or surface X-Band radar applications for 9.2 to 9.7 GHz over an instantaneous bandwidth of 500 MHz. Development of this product is for a TWT Replacement. The amplifier design features self-protection for load VSWR, duty factor, pulse width and temperature. This solid-state power amplifier (SSPA) increases MTBF 10x compared to TWTs, resulting in lower overall costs. Comtech supports custom configurations and features are available as well as specific power levels up to 16 kW.
Cosmic Microwave Technology, Inc.
SiGe Low Noise Cryogenic Amplifier
The CITLF3 is a Silicon Germanium (SiGe) low noise cryogenic amplifier, intended for radio astronomy and quantum physics applications. The amplifier achieves an average noise temperature of 4 K (0.06 dB) over a frequency range of 0.01 to 4 GHz when cooled to a physical temperature of 12 K or less. Gain is 33 dB and the input/output return losses are less than -10 dB. Typical supply voltage is 2 V at 13 mA.

CTT Inc.
Solid-State 40 W GaN PA
CTT’s GaN-based SSPA offers frequency coverage of 3 to 18 GHz with 40 W of CW power output. The compact size of Model AGX/180-4656, 5.16 (L) x 4.9 (W) x 0.28 (H) in. gives RF/microwave designers an excellent choice for multi-band SWaP-C solutions in many applications, including electronic warfare (EW) jammers, radar and for transmit power in military and commercial multi-band satcom terminals. Systems can benefit from improvements in: reduced size and weight, higher efficiency, wider bandwidth, reduced cost and system power efficiency.
Electromagnetic Technologies Industries
Multibeam Antenna System
A cost-efficient multibeam antenna system that requires no external electricity or software input to operate is provided by ET Industries. Depending on the model, up to 32 beams can be achieved. Each beam multiplies and repeats the total available spectrum, thus, increasing the available data throughput. Live results for a four-beam antenna system are presented in the figure showing quadrupling of data rates for an urban environment with a population of 3 million. Frequency reuse eliminates costly purchases of additional spectrum.
Exceed Microwave
