Richardson RFPD, Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for two new UltraCMOS® RF silicon-on-insulator (SOI) switches from Peregrine Semiconductor Corporation.

Keysight GoldenGate is the best-in-class RFIC simulation tool inside the Cadence Virtuoso design environment. For many years, RF designers have relied on GoldenGate to solve their challenging problems and have benefited from its robust simulation convergence and fast simulation capabilities to fully characterize their transceiver designs prior to tape-out.

Qorvo® continues to advance 802.11ax migration as customers implement its recently released portfolio of Wi-Fi front-end modules (FEMs).

RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for a 5 GHz, Wi-Fi, low noise amplifier (LNA).

Compound foundry WIN Semiconductors' Q1 2017 revenue grew 1.9 percent over Q4, to NT$3,271 million, or $106.8 million. However, the revenue was down 0.5 percent compared to the year-ago quarter.

Analog Devices, Inc. announced a pair of high-performance GaN power amplifier (PA) modules which offer one of the highest power-density levels in their class, thus minimizing size and weight of the subsystem. The HMC7885 and HMC7748 broadband modules target applications operating between 2 GHz and 6 GHz, including test and measurement, communications, Traveling Wave Tube (TWT) replacement, military/aerospace surveillance and countermeasures and radar.

Skyworks is pleased to introduce the SKY65623-682LF, a low noise amplifier (LNA) designed for applications such as wearables, asset trackers, navigation devices, action cameras and more.

Analog Devices (ADI) has acquired OneTree Microdevices, Inc., a fabless startup developing GaAs and GaN amplifiers for cable (CATV) and fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) infrastructure. The addition complements ADI's existing portfolio and enables ADI to supply the complete signal chain for cable infrastructure.

Pure-play foundry TowerJazz has announced a silicon photonic process (SiPho) developed for optical networking applications. The process includes several versions of single-mode silicon waveguides, high speed germanium photodetectors, p-n junction modulators and compatibility with edge and grating couplers.
