Skyworks Solutions Inc. , an innovator of high performance analog and mixed signal semiconductors enabling mobile connectivity, announced that it has shipped more than two billion power amplifier (PA) modules since product inception near the turn of the decade. The company is an architectural pioneer of PA and complete...

As the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing gets well into its first week, a new high speed train sprinting between Beijing and Tianjin in China is supporting super-fast wireless communications onboard thanks to Andrew , the CommScope Inc. division that is a global leader in communications systems and products....

Ultra-fast 100 GHz electrical sampling gates (“samplers”) with aperture widths of 7 picoseconds, and pulse generators (“pulsers”) with usable output energy extending to over 150 GHz, have both recently been demonstrated using a new, low-cost, fully monolithic “Rapid Automatic Cascode Exchange” (RACE) IC circuit architecture.1 These samplers, cast in...

Rohde & Schwarz and Qasara have announced a joint programme to verify inter-operability between Rohde & Schwarz’s 3GPP LTE Virtual Tester and Qasara’s LTE compliant UE protocol stack. The collaboration provides an independent verification of a complete, end to end, LTE protocol stack. LTE is set to enable the...
