PMI Model SDLVA-500M4G-CD-1 successive detection log video amplifiers (SDLVA) offers 70 dB dynamic range over the frequency range of 0.5 to 4.0 GHz. This model offers an ultra-fast rise time of 10 nsec maximum, a recovery time of less than 60 nsec and a limited RF Output of +7 dBm. 
PMI model SDLVA-250M6G-CD-1 successive detection log video amplifiers (SDLVA) offers 70 dB dynamic range over the frequency range of 0.25 to 6.0 GHz. This model offers an ultra-fast rise time of 10nsec maximum and a recovery time of less than 60 nsec. The unit is temperature compensated such that log linearity over temperature remains less than +/-2.5 dB over the full operating temperature range of -40 to +70 C.
The 1163/BBM2E3KLOis a 20 to 520 MHz amplifier which is guaranteed to deliver 125 W output power and related RF performance under all specified temperature and environmental conditions. It uses high power LDMOS transistors and offers built-in control and monitoring, with protection functions that include non-volatile memory for event recording and factory setup recovery features.
RFMW Ltd. announces design and sales support for 6 GHz broadband wireless filters from Sangshin Elecom. The MBP33RC6162S525A is an excellent choice for wireless backhaul applications where flexibility in channel planning and selection is critical. The MBP33RC6162S525A from Sangshin Elecom covers the frequency range from 5.9 to 6.425 GHz in a small 8.5 mm x 5.6 mm package.
Empower RF Systems is delivering units from its “size matters” 1 kW power amplifier portfolio to Richardson RFPD as an integral part of a Test & Measurement promotion that Richardson RFPD is sponsoring on its website. These systems are currently available in the frequency ranges of 20 to 500 MHz, 500 to 1000 MHz, and 20 to 1000 MHz.
AR RF/Microwave Instrumentation created single band Models 15S1G6, 50S1G6 & 100S1G6, providing 15 to 100 W of linear output power across the .7 to 6 GHz frequency band while providing excellent gain flatness.
Skyworks Solutions Inc. introduced several new backlight LED drivers supporting next-generation smart phones and tablets. Skyworks’ family of highly efficient, integrated, multi-channel products are tailored to support display panels ranging in size from 4 to 12 inches, significantly enhancing image quality and resolution while maximizing battery life. 
RF Micro Devices, Inc. announced it is shipping production volumes of its power amplification solutions that are compatible with Broadcom's 5 G WiFi chips. RFMD developed the RFFM82x5 (2.4 GHz) and RFFM85x5 (5 GHz) FEMs with Broadcom's 5 G WiFi chips, which are based on the IEEE 802.11ac standard. The combined solution delivers faster throughput and expanded range for an enhanced user experience.
Power analysis requires that users measure voltage and current. For this purpose, Rohde & Schwarz offers high end voltage and current probes and now also the new R&S RT-ZF20 deskew fixture. The deskew fixture makes it easy to measure delay differences, which can then be corrected in the oscilloscope.
