Nitronex , a leader in gallium nitride RF power transistors, has released the NPT1007 for applications up to 1.2 GHz. The NPT1007 comprises two power transistors, 100 W each, in an industry standard four lead Gemini package. This small footprint allows easy combining of both transistors into a compact...

Welcome to the IEEE Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits (RFIC) Symposium ( www.RFIC2009.org ), which will be held in Boston, MA from June 7-9, 2009. Held in conjunction with the IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium, it opens Microwave Week 2009, the largest world-wide RF/microwave meeting of the year. The RFIC...

Automatic Radio Frequency Techniques Group (ARFTG) is a technical organization interested in all aspects of RF and microwave test and measurement. ARFTG was originally set up in 1972 to help the end user get the most from the latest generation test and measurement equipment. This was exemplified by the...

If you are planning to attend the technical conference at this year’s IMS and just received your technical program book, you may be overwhelmed by the volume of content presented. There were, after all, 430 papers accepted (294 oral presentations and 136 interactive forums). In addition, there are 30...

For the sixth time since its conception, the MTT-S International Microwave Symposium (IMS) will be held in Boston, historically one of the most popular venues for the event based on attendance numbers. This year, Microwave Journal has invited the past steering committee chairpersons to reflect on their experiences with...

“Please Come to Boston in the Springtime. I’m stayin’ here with some friends and they’ve got lots of room.” Anyone remember that 1974 song, which made Dave Loggins a one-hit wonder? Can’t say that I was a big fan, but the lyrics seem eerily appropriate for this year’s IMS....

The US Department of Defense (DoD), through the Defense Microelectronics Activity (DMEA), has granted Tahoe RF Semiconductor Inc. , a fabless RFIC company and Wireless Electronic Design Services (EDS) provider, accreditation as a Microelectronics Trusted IC Supplier for the DoD and all other US Government customers. The DoD requires...

Attendees of the International Microwave Symposium (IMS) will be able to participate in 30 workshops during Microwave Week. There are 11 RFIC workshops, three joint IMS/RFIC workshops, 15 IMS workshops and one joint IMS/ARFTG workshop. The workshops cover a broad range of topics from power amps to CAD optimization...

Freescale Semiconductor announced that it has partnered with Flextronics to create a high performance reference design for the Enterprise WLAN access point market. Based on Freescale’s PowerQUICC® II Pro MPC8377E processor, the IEEE® 802.11N access point reference design offers a comprehensive, production-ready solution that scales from 400 to 800...
