The Microphase low profile contiguous channel Wideband Multiplexer Series is available over the 0.5 to 40 GHz range and offers a number of features. Compact and lightweight, all models are 0.400” thin, yet product performance...

Hittite Microwave will introduce the HMC700LP4E, the first in a new series of integrated fractional-N synthesizers designed to cover a wide range of applications particularly those sensitive to phase noise and signal jitter. This innovative fractional-N synthesizer features a 16 bit fractional divider, 24 bit delta-sigma modulator, 14 bit...

Fotofab , a supplier of precision thin-metal parts, offers RF and board level engineers the design flexibility and cost efficiency they need to solve tough real estate issues on congested circuit boards with their custom “dimple” shields. The dimpled, snap-fit lid permits component access for testing and other procedures...

Agilent Technologies Inc. announced nonlinear vector network analyzer (NVNA) capability for its PNA-X microwave network analyzer, establishing a new industry standard in RF nonlinear network analysis from 10 MHz to 26.5 GHz. Requiring minimal external hardware, the Agilent NVNA software effectively converts a 4-port PNA-X into a high performance...

In this paper parameters of an old technology altimeter are discussed and then after deriving the measure of quality factor (height measurement accuracy), suitable solutions for improving the technology, namely decreasing its peak power (from 62.5w to10.9w) so to improve its LPI characteristics while maintaining its performance quality are...

1. Introduction The planar end fire tapered slot antenna (TSA) is a novel technique and is presently quite new [1], this has been less studied theoretically with little information or analysis results available in journals and literature today. These types of radiating structures find wide applications [2] vis-à-vis: as...
