NI announced the release of its InstrumentStudio software for NI PXI modular instruments. InstrumentStudio improves the live, interactive-use model for modular instruments and makes debugging while running tests more intuitive.

Integra Technologies has announced a new, fully-matched, GaN on SiC RF power transistor developed for C-Band applications. It is rated for CW operation.

Analog Devices Inc. (ADI) introduced a 12-bit RF analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that delivers industry-leading speed and bandwidth. The new AD9213 features higher parametric performance: greater Nyquist bandwidth and RF sampling capabilities at higher analog input frequencies than conventional RF ADCs, allowing for the digitization of RF signals up to 7 GHz.

Pasternack has released a new line of 4-in-1, 3.5 mm calibration kits for test and measurement, field testing, antenna measurement and cable verification applications.

Signal Hound has announced the addition of VITA 49 functionality to its SM200A 20 GHz headless RF spectrum analyzer and monitoring receiver.

Pickering Interfaces introduced version 6 of their signal routing software, Switch Path Manager™ (SPM), with a range of new capabilities as well as a new “lite” version.

Powercast Corp. announced a smaller Powerharvester^® wireless power receiver and RF-to-DC converter chip (PCC114) for its Powerharvester Chipset (comprised of a wireless power receiver chip and complementary boost converter IC).

Valon Technology announced the availability of the Valon 5015 wide-range frequency synthesizer module. Designed for use in critical frequency synthesis and clocking applications, the Valon 5015 uses multiple phase-lock loops to provide high-level, low-phase noise signals throughout the 10 MHz to 15 GHz range.

Analog Devices Inc. (ADI) introduced a highly integrated, active antenna beamforming chip that allows designers to quickly replace bulky, mechanically-steered antenna platforms with a compact, solid-state solution for phased array radar and communications systems.

Tektronix, Inc. and IEMN, a major French research laboratory, demonstrated a single carrier wireless link traveling at a 100 Gb/s data rate. This demonstration uses advanced data coding, THz photonics and wideband and linear devices to enable ultra fast wireless connections in the 252 - 325 GHz band per the recently published IEEE 802.15.3d standard.
