Aaronia now offers the EMC Bundle3, a set usable for EMC pre-compliance testing from 1 Hz up to 9.4 GHz. It's a perfect choice for EMC tests according to any measurement challenge, like: EMC pre-compliance measurement (EN55011, EN55022, EN50371 etc.), pinpointing interference sources, estimation of interference field strength, verification of shielding and filtering, identifying faulty components, and detecting circuitry overly sensitive to interference.

RFMW Ltd. announces design and sales support for the RFaxis RFX2411N, a fully integrated, single-chip, single-die RFeIC (RF Front-end Integrated Circuit) incorporating all the RF functionality needed for wireless ZigBee/smart energy applications. Designed for operation in the 2.4 GHz ISM band, the RFX2411N architecture integrates a PA, LNA, transmit and receive switching circuitry.
Richardson RFPD Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for a new 700 to 3800 MHz, UltraCMOS® SPDT RF switch from Peregrine Semiconductor Corporation. The PE42822 is a HaRP™ technology-enhanced absorptive 50Ω SPDT RF protection switch designed for use in high-power and high-performance wireless infrastructure and small cell applications, supporting frequencies up to 3800 MHz.
FEKO, now part of Altair HyperWorks, is available under Altair’s patented on-demand software licensing system. Users can run multiple HyperWorks applications (including FEKO) and other Altair products for a flat rate, rather than paying for each license in use. As part of Altair’s portfolio, the FEKO version number will jump from FEKO Suite 7.0 to FEKO 14.0 to align with HyperWorks 14.0, the next version of HyperWorks.
Linear Technology Corp. introduces the LTC2380-24, a breakthrough no latency 24-bit 2 Msps successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The LTC2380-24 features an integrated digital filter that averages 1 to 65,536 conversion results real time, dramatically improving the dynamic range from 101 dB at 1.5 Msps to 145 dB at an output data rate of 30.5 sps.
Berkeley Nucleonics released new high performance, robust and extremely cost effective RF/microwave generators. BNC now offers 12, 20 and 26.6 GHz frequencies. Each base frequency can now be customized with high output power (HP), no modulation (CW only), as well as rack mountable (R) 1U configurations for system integrations.
The saving potential of SPINNER’s low PIM switches in RF testing environments is immense. They spare you the hassle of undocking and re-docking measurement cables when performing different measurements on the same DUT. Technically speaking, these are DPDT switches with two parallel-switching inputs and outputs. They are available with 7-16 and 4.3-10 connectors and specified for -165 dBc (typ. -170 dBc).
Linear Technology Corp. announces the LT8331, a current mode step-up DC/DC converter with an internal 500 mA, 140 V switch. It operates from an input voltage range of 4.5 to 100 V, making it suitable for use with a wide range of input sources found in industrial, transportation and avionic applications. The LT8331 can be configured as either a boost, SEPIC, flyback or inverting converter. Its switching frequency is programmable from 100 to 500.
Passive Plus Inc. (PPI) now provides its customers with the option of specifying capacitor assemblies with SAC 305 solder, which is 100% lead free. Previous to this breakthrough, engineers were limited to specifying capacitor assemblies that typically utilized a high lead based solder to attach the leads to the capacitors. PPI has qualified this lead free solder option to enable engineers to design 100% RoHS compliant capacitor assemblies.
Richardson RFPD Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for a 2 W GaN driver amplifier from Qorvo. The TGA2958-SM is a packaged Ku-band amplifier fabricated on Qorvo’s 0.15 um GaN on SiC production process (QGaN15). Operating over a 13 to18 GHz bandwidth, the TGA2598-SM delivers 2 W of saturated output power with 20 dB large signal gain and > 25% power added efficiency.
