 Analog Devices Inc., the world's data converter market share leader, introduced today an industry first 2.8-GSPS dual 16-bit converter for telecommunications system manufacturers that require microwave frequencies in point-to-point wireless backhaul equipment. The 16-bit AD9136 and 11-bit AD9135 dual D/A converters achieve up to 70 percent higher signal bandwidth than competing devices while enabling designers to support emerging E-band (71-76 GHz and 81-86 GHz) frequencies being adopted by wireless carriers to support steadily increasing demand for high-speed mobile voice and data transfers.  

Teledyne Microwave Solutions has invested in the Teledyne Labtech facility at Presteigne, Wales, following the recent completion of the installation of the new Shadow Line processing equipment in support of increased production requirements.

The Myanmar Satellite Forum will provide the opportunity for high level exchange of information and best practice between Myanmar and world experts in satellite business and technology.

Airbus Defence and Space has presented its latest ‘LTE tactical solution’ for the first time in France. The solution provides rescue and security forces fully independent, secure broadband radio communications for the exchange of large volumes of data in extreme situations and in areas where there is no radio coverage.

The RF Energy Alliance has been launched to advance today’s power and heating solutions by equipping engineers and designers with a transformative, cost-effective and highly efficient heating and power source: solid-state RF energy.

Cree, Inc., a leader in gallium nitride (GaN) RF devices, has earned the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) manufacturing readiness level eight (MRL 8) designation. Awarded for its production of GaN monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs), this designation verifies Cree’s ability to provide assured, affordable and commercially viable production capabilities and capacities for items essential to national defense.  

Skyworks Solutions, Inc. unveils a single control, SOI, single-pole-double-throw switch. The compact, 0.01 – 6.0 GHz SKY13453-385LF is intended for mode switching in pre-power amplifier cellular and dual-band WLAN transmit/receive applications. Using advanced switching technologies, it is a reflective short switch that offers high linearity, maintains low insertion loss and achieves high isolation for both switching paths. 

Aeroflex Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Aeroflex Holding Corp., announced that the TM500 family now supports aggregation of two 4x4 MIMO carriers, allowing mobile network operators to validate the performance of networks with data rates of up to 600Mb/s. 

 Indium Corp. will feature NC-26-A Ultra-Low Residue No-Clean Flip-Chip Flux at the 47t^h International Symposium on Microelectronics, organized by the International Microelectronics Assembly and Packaging Society (IMAPS), Oct. 14-16 in San Diego, Calif.  

 The ChipScan-ESA analysis software from Langer EMV-Technik GmbH has been designed for the clear and comparable recording of a spectrum analyzer's measurement curves (system requirements: Windows XP and later). It allows the user to visualize measuring curves quickly and interactively, perform complex analyses and export the curves easily
