Alvarion recently unveiled its OPEN WiMAX ecosystem revolutionizing the deployment of WiMAX networks. The operator centric, all IP best-of-breed ecosystem is open and standards-based, enabling the optimization of WiMAX networks from core network equipment to consumer electronics, service offerings, and even the end-user's experience. Moreover OPEN WiMAX enables network...

Applied Wave Research (AWR) offers customization tools for particular processes to the Microwave Office (MWO) design environment. The tools needed to adapt a custom process to MWO are a text editor, Model Wizard, the Source Development Kit (SDK) and a MS Visual C++ compiler. The MWO plug-in Model Wizard...

Given the increasing pressure on engineers to speed the R&D process, maximize manufacturing throughput and reduce cost, the need for flexible, highly integrated test and measurement solutions has now been thrust firmly into the spotlight. For engineers developing and manufacturing RF and microwave frequency components, particularly amplifiers, mixers and...

For some time now, test and measurement (T&M) industry leaders have produced exceptional RF vector signal generators (VSG) with wide frequency coverage, superb specifications and a rich feature set. These fine instruments can truly be used for just about any conceivable application… as long as you have the budget....

In preparation for future large-scale deployment of wireless broadband access services across Latin America’s largest market, TVA, one of the leading pay TV companies in Brazil, is building a WiMAX trial network based on innovative 4G solutions and services from Nortel. The two companies announced a trial agreement at...

ETS-Lindgren pioneered the over-the-air (OTA) performance testing market, designing and building the first CTIA Authorized Test Lab (CATL) for mobile station over-the-air antenna performance testing. Since then, the company has designed and built test chambers that have performed tests at some of the largest and best-known manufacturers of mobile...

Computer simulation is essential for the rapid design of efficient RF and microwave components. Not only can ‘what if?’ questions be posed and answered—sometimes in seconds—but once a viable design concept has been identified it can be optimized to achieve cost and performance targets. To facilitate this, parametric modeling...

Traditionally frequency counters have fallen into two main categories—general-purpose counters/timers and microwave counters. The former typically measure frequency from parts of a hertz to 200 to 300 MHz and can display frequency, time interval and period. Some general-purpose counters also provide ratio, phase comparison and low frequency burst measurement...

RF/Microwave Components Aeroflex/Weinschel is teaming with Argosy Component Sales to offer the industry’s largest selection of off-the-shelf RF and microwave components available. As Aeroflex/ Weinschel’s new stocking distributor, Argosy stocks a large selection of its coaxial attenuators, terminations, manual step and programmable attenuators, adapters, connectors, and other components for...
