RFMW announces design and sales support for a Southwest Antennas’ omnidirectional antenna. The 1001-236 provides a 200 MHz bandwidth operating from 2.5 to 2.7 GHz with 2 dBi of gain.

In light of the global pandemic and related measures imposed by the respective authorities, European Microwave Week (EuMW) organizers have decided to reschedule the event to 10-15 January 2021 in order to enable as many conference and exhibition visitors to join as possible.

“In the past few years, RF applications have received a boost from the implementation of GaN technology,” asserts Ezgi Dogmus, PhD. Technology & Market Analyst at Yole Développement (Yole). “The main GaN RF market drivers remain telecom and defense applications.” The total GaN RF market will increase from US$740 million to more than US$2 billion by 2025, with a CAGR of 12%.

u-blox has announced that its NINA-B3 stand-alone Bluetooth low energy modules and SARA-R410M-02B LTE M/NB IoT and EGPRS cellular module for low power wide area applications are being used in a data logger (pulse counter) for a smart water metering solution that relies on mesh networking to simplify deployment.

RFMW announces design and sales support for high-performance, high power, bulk acoustic wave (BAW) band-pass filter, the Qorvo QPQ1905. 

Teledyne e2v HiRel, part of the Teledyne Defense Electronics Group, announced a new family of 10 GHz RF Gain Blocks using space-qualified InGaP amplifier technology.

Keysight Technologies, Inc. announced the first oscilloscope with eight analog channels at 6 GHz and 16 simultaneous digital channels, enabling customers to reduce test bench and workflow complexity to achieve higher performance as well as accurate and repeatable multi-channel measurements in a single instrument. 

Pico Technology has come up with an ingenious solution to hold a PCB under test firmly in place and accurately position as many test probes as required, so that the user has their hands free to operate the oscilloscope or other test equipment.
