Agilent Technologies Inc. announced that SystemVue, its premier platform for communications and aerospace/defense systems design, supports high-performance distributed computing. System architects of wireless, 4G smartphone and radar applications can now verify next-generation system performance up to 64 times faster using Linux-based grid computing managers such as the IBM Platform Load Sharing Facility.

Anritsu Co. will be showcasing a wide range of industry leading Test & Measurement solutions at the European Microwave Week 2013, to be held in Nuremburg 8th to 10th October. The newly released MS4640B series of VectorStar vector network analyzers (VNAs) will be on display, together with the MS2830A Spectrum and Signal Analyzers, a range of signal generators, and the handheld RF analyzers, all of which demonstrate different areas of technical leadership.

Linear Technology Corp. announces the LT8697, a 2.5 A, 42 V input capable synchronous step-down switching regulator designed to power 5 V USB applications. The LT8697 delivers precise 5 V regulation at a remote USB port using programmable cable drop compensation to accurately correct the voltage drop from a long connecting cable regardless of variations in load current. The LT8697’s forced continuous operation enables the LT8697 to sink current, maintaining full frequency operation at zero load, further enhancing accurate 5V regulation during load transients.

M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc. (“MACOM”), a leading supplier of high performance RF, microwave, and millimeter wave products, today announced the newest entry in its portfolio of GaN in Plastic packaged power products. Optimized for L-Band commercial air traffic control, military radar, and long range perimeter monitoring applications at 1.2 to 1.4 GHz, MACOM’s new 2-stage, fully matched GaN in Plastic power module scales to peak pulse power levels of 100W in a 14 x 24 mm package size – delivering twice the power of comparably sized competing products.

Mini-Circuits is pleased to contribute to the 2013 IEEE Conference on Microwaves, Communications, Antennas, and Electronic Systems(COMCAS) as a platinum sponsor. Representatives from Mini-Circuits and MCDI, Mini-Circuits’ new distributor in Israel, will be exhibiting at Booth 31 with a showcase of its rapidly growing line of portable test equipment and other selected new products.

Richardson RFPD Inc. announces immediate availability and full design support capabilities for two new RF single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) switches from Peregrine Semiconductor Corp. (Peregrine).

Custom MMIC, a developer of performance-driven monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs), announces the addition of the CMD173P4 to their growing MMIC library of standard products.

RFMW Ltd. announces design and sales support for Skyworks SE2432L, a high performance, fully integrated RF front end module designed for ZigBee/Smart Energy applications.

Linear Technology announces the LT3795, a 110V, high-side current sense DC/DC converter designed to regulate a current or voltage to a constant value, ideal for driving high brightness (HB) LEDs. Its 4.5V to 110V input voltage range makes it appropriate for a wide variety of applications, including automotive, industrial and architectural lighting. The LT3795 uses an external low side N-channel MOSFET and can drive up to 90V of white LEDs from a nominal 12V input, delivering in excess of 50 watts.

Richardson RFPD Inc. announces immediate availability and full design support capabilities for a new line of high power GaN transistors in rugged, space-saving plastic packages from MACOM Technology Solutions (MACOM).
