RF Micro Devices, Inc. announced it has been granted ISO/TS 16949 certification. The ISO/TS 16949 certificate is the highest international quality standard for the automotive industry, and ISO/TS 16949 certification demonstrates RFMD’s commitment to excellence in product design and manufacturing processes for automotive applications.

Agilent Technologies Inc. will demonstrate its high-performance test and measurement solutions at the CTIA Wireless show, May 8-10, at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center (Booth 3935) in New Orleans. The company’s new solutions provide greater insight into devices being designed and tested, accelerating the development of the latest wireless technologies, including LTE, LTE-Advanced, GNSS, DC-HSDPA, 802.11ac WLAN and femtocells.

The Rohde & Schwarz ETC mid-range, multistandard TV analyzer supports the ISDB-T, DVB-T and DVB-T2 digital terrestrial standards.

Achieve your best design with the new 24/7 Agilent High-Speed Digital (HSD) videos page. The site is designed to give more information about the intricacies of high-speed digital design from Agilent, and much more.

Agilent announced the industry’s most advanced PC-based oscilloscope analysis software, which allows engineers to analyze previously captured signals from oscilloscopes made by Agilent and other vendors.

Four new MMIC Upconverter and Downconverter devices from RFMD offer high performance and low cost for high frequency applications. The RFUV1002 and RFUV1003 Upconverters incorporate an image rejection mixer, LO buffer amplifier, variable gain amplifier, and DC-decoupling capacitor. The RFRX1001 and RFRX1002 Downconverters incorporate an image rejection mixer, LO buffer amplifier, integrated LNA, and DC-decoupling capacitor. Each device is packaged in a 5 x 5 mm QFN to simplify both system-level board design and volume assembly.

The application brief, “Using Time Sidelobe Measurements to Assess the Performance of Compressed-Pulse Radars”  defines key problems related to measurements of compressed-pulse radars, describes the time sidelobe method, and outlines the practical uses of this approach.

Matching circuits for antennas and other RF components based on 3D models can now be easily optimized by designers who use FEKO together with Optenni Lab.

Custom MMIC is offering a new device from its growing MMIC design library. The CMD162 is a GaAs MMIC low-noise amplifier (LNA) chip for applications from 26 to 34 GHz. Optimized for 30 GHz satellite communications, the CMD162 boasts a typical noise figure of 1.7 dB with a small-signal gain of 22 dB and an output 1 dB compression point of +7 dB.

Richardson RFPD Inc. announces immediate availability and full design support capabilities for eight devices representing the new gallium nitride (GaN) on Silicon Carbide (SiC) family of power transistors from M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc. This product family targets L- and S-Band applications from 960 to 3500 MHz and reinforces M/A-COM Tech's rich heritage of leadership in power hybrid technology.
