PMI Model No. PXO-100M-CD-1 is a 100 MHz, sinewave crystal controlled oscillator with coaxial output connector. This model provides minimum output power of +7 dBm with all spurs held to -60 dBC (10 to 500 MHz) and harmonics and sub-harmonics held to -40 dBc. It requires DC power of +15 V ±5%, 40 mA max, and is in a housing that measures 2.0" x 2.0" x 0.75".

Arrow RF & Power, officially doing business as Richardson RFPD, announced the online availability of videos and downloadable files of the presentations that were given at its booth during the 2014 International Microwave Symposium (IMS) in Tampa, Fla.

Arrow RF & Power announced the availability and full design support capabilities for a new high-performance integer-N phase-locked loop (PLL) from Peregrine Semiconductor Corporation. The PE33241 is capable of frequency synthesis up to 5 GHz and offers a low phase noise figure of merit and offers superior phase noise performance with a direct or serial programming option.

RFMW Ltd. announces design and sales support for Peregrine Semiconductor’s SP4T switch, PE42442. The PE42442 offers the best combination of high isolation and low insertion loss for a 50 ohm absorptive SP4T with 52 dB isolation and 1.15 dB insertion loss at 2.7 GHz. Operating with supply voltages as low as 2.3 V, the PE42442 maintains a +58 dBm IIP3.

Linear Technology Corp. introduces the LTC2668-16, a 16-channel, 16-bit voltage output digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with SoftSpan™ outputs, each of which can be independently configured for one of five selectable unipolar and bipolar output ranges up to ±10 V. Each rail-to-rail DAC output is capable of sourcing or sinking 10 mA with guaranteed load regulation and is stable driving capacitive loads as large as 1000 pF.

As satellite complexity increases, there is a growing need for qualified RF/microwave TVAC compatible subsystems. As a designer of custom RF/microwave test products for many years, we have worked with a wide variety of component manufacturers. Over the years we have developed special solutions that are successfully being used in TVAC chambers for satellite and satellite component testing.

SenarioTek's new standard off-the-shelf RF switch matrix products offer high performance over the broadest range of standard input and output configurations including frequencies from DC to 40 GHz, wide range of standard configurations, over 10 million switching cycles, and delay matching to ± 1 ps.

Vectron International announced the release of a low g–sensitivity TCXO for military, industrial and other harsh environment applications. The TX–707 Series TCXO combines innovative manufacturing and the latest technology to provide low phase noise and excellent g–sensitivity. The fully hermetic assembly includes a dual crystal circuit to cancel opposing g–sensitivity vectors enclosed in a 5 x 7 mm ceramic package.

With the addition of the new R&S SGU100A RF upconverter, Rohde & Schwarz expands its tried and tested R&S SGS100A vector signal generator to cover microwave applications. The combination of the two instruments yields the most compact vector signal source on the market up to 20 GHz. The R&S SGU100A is available as a pure CW upconverter or as an upconverter for I/Q-modulated signals.
