The dynamics of the RF mobile communications market is continuing to pressure engineers to pack more data into a limited spectrum. Ever increasing data rates mean the life span of modulations schemes is shortening. Wide band arbitrary or flexible waveform creation and analysis is fast becoming a key requirement...

M/A-COM , a business unit of Tyco Electronics and a provider of wireless radio frequency (RF), microwave and millimeter-wave components, announced a new low cost RoHS compliant 2.4 GHz linear power amplifier for 802.11b/g Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) WLAN applications that require high gain, high efficiency and small size. The...

JFW Industries , Indianapolis, IN, is introducing a new 20 to 2500 MHz high power switch at this year's IEEE Radio & Wireless Symposium and Exhibition in Long Beach, CA. Model 50S-1505 delivers high power (25 W average; 200 W peak) and is designed for rugged military environments. The...

AR Worldwide Modular RF has designed and built a custom amplifier module for the emerging wireless access market. The model CMS1070 was created in 45 days to meet a client's selected frequency band and a very demanding linearity specification. The CMS1070 is a 3.4 to 3.7 GHz solid-state power...

Computer Simulation Technology (CST) featured its CST STUDIO SUITE 2006B, including the industry-standard 3-D EM Time Domain tool, CST MICROWAVE STUDIO, at this year's IEEE Radio & Wireless Symposium and Exhibition (RWS) in Long Beach, CA. In this latest release, improved and extended solver technology has been at the...

Focus Microwaves has developed a multi-purpose tuner (MPT) for WLAN, WiMAX and 3G/4G applications. The model iMPT-1818-TC uses three independent wideband probes allowing independent control of the amplitude and phase of the reflection factor at all three harmonic frequencies. The main application of the MPT is harmonic load pull,...

Tektronix highlighted its new RSA6100A Series real-time spectrum analyzers at this year's RWS show in Long Beach, CA. Featuring the revolutionary DPX™ spectrum display, these spectrum analyzers offer an intuitive live color view of signal transients changing over time in the frequency domain, giving immediate confidence in the stability...

ProLogic Inc. , Fairmont, WV, solved a tough antenna design challenge by simulating the design with MicroStripes electromagnetic simulation software from Flomerics . The initial antenna design had back sidelobes that put significant energy into the face of a radar array that was co-located. Electromagnetic simulation enabled ProLogic engineers...

Micronetics Inc. announced that its subsidiary Stealth Microwave Inc. has been awarded a $2.5 M order from IP-Wireless for high power amplifiers on the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) platform. IP-Wireless is planning to incorporate these high performance amplifiers as part of a comprehensive wireless network to be installed...

As I write this, I’ve just returned from the Asia Pacific Microwave Conference (APMC) in Yokohama, Japan. Having never been to Japan, this was a new experience for me. While I enjoyed the cultural differences that Japan offers, I was also struck by the similarities between East and West....
