 Keysight Technologies, Inc. added a 65-GSa/s, 20-GHz modular instrument to its portfolio of arbitrary waveform generators. The new high-speed, wide-bandwidthM8195A arbitrary waveform generator allows engineers to generate digital, multilevel (e.g. PAM4, MIPI C-PHY) signal scenarios and test their electrical and optical links with complex modulated signals up to 32 GBaud and beyond. This makes the M8195A the most versatile signal generator in the industry. 

 ViaSat Inc. has been awarded $54 million from the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) for co-development and qualification of Tactical Targeting Network Technology (TTNT) capabilities for the Multifunctional Information Distribution System Joint Tactical Radio System (MIDS JTRS).  

 dB Control, an international defense electronics manufacturer, is introducing a Ka-band traveling wave tube (TWT) amplifier for ground and mobile radar applications. Featuring an outdoor hub-mount configuration, the dB-3709i operates in the 34.5 to 35.5 GHz frequency range and provides 700 Watts minimum peak output power at a duty cycle of up to ten percent. 

 Jackson Labs Technologies Inc. introduced the LTE-Lite frequency and timing SMT module that combines a GPS receiver, filtered power supplies and a software-disciplined crystal oscillator into a 0.7" x 1.18" footprint GPSDO SMT module.  

 Bird Technologies, a leading provider of RF components, subsystems, test equipment, and services, introduced the compact SiteHawk SK-4000-TC Antenna and Cable Analyzer.  

 Keysight Technologies, Inc. announced that its FieldFox handheld combination analyzers provide a precise and comprehensive solution for satellite ground station maintenance in the aerospace/defense and commercial markets. 

 Isola Group S.à r.l., a market leader in copper-clad laminates and dielectric prepreg materials used to fabricate advanced multilayer printed circuit boards (PCBs), announced that Advanced Circuits Inc. Tempe division (ACI) has successfully completed Isola’s Certification Program. 

 Analog Devices, Inc. is participating in Avnet Inc.’s X-fest 2014 technical training events and demonstrating rapid prototyping platforms for software-defined radio (SDR), GSPS data acquisition solutions and RF signal processing components that are compatible with Xilinx, Inc.  

 Azimuth Systems, Inc., a leading provider of comprehensive real-world wireless test solutions for LTE-Advanced and beyond, announced their ACE™ RNX radio network emulation platform. 

TEOCO, the leading provider of assurance, analytics and optimization solutions to communications service providers (CSPs), has expanded the testing capabilities of its AIRCOM Device Test Lab with additional test systems from Rohde & Schwarz. Combined with Rohde & Schwarz' extensive conformance and carrier test case support, the R&S TS-LBS Location Based Services (LBS) and the R&S CMW-PQA Performance Test Systems enable TEOCO to support new industry and carrier testing requirements for next-generation wireless technologies, including carrier aggregation, IMS, VoLTE, RCS, E911 over IMS, LTE A-GNSS, LTE OTDOA and LTE eCID.
