Metallized Carbon Corp., a global leader in the manufacture of oil-free, self-lubricating, carbon-graphite materials for severe service lubrication applications, announces that it produces Silver Metcar, a silver impregnated, carbon-graphite material useful for electrical applications that require low resistance, low voltage drop and low electrical noise.

Keysight Technologies Inc. introduced ISO CAN FD (controller area network with flexible data rate) decoding and triggering for its InfiniiVision 4000 and 3000T X-Series oscilloscopes. The new capabilities improve engineers' efficiency in debugging the ISO 11898-1 standard CAN FD, as well as the original non-ISO CAN FD protocol. 

Advantech Wireless, a global leader for Satellite broadband communications solutions, announced the release of the new 50 W X-Band GaN based SSPB/BUC for Tactical Military Applications.

Freescale Semiconductor introduced its first gallium nitride (GaN) RF power transistor for cellular base stations. The new A2G22S160-01S delivers exceptional performance in 30 W and 40 W amplifiers for wireless infrastructure applications, and represents the first of what is planned to become a broad portfolio of Airfast family GaN transistors for the cellular market. 

 Copper Mountain Technologies introduced a new series of high-performance vector network analyzers (VNAs) designed to efficiently handle advanced test applications at the 2015 International Microwave Symposium (IMS) in Phoenix on May 17-22. The Cobalt series, which presently features the C1220 and C1209 models, offers an unmatched price-performance combination for S-parameter measurement between 100 kHz and 20 GHz. 

 Qorvo, Inc., a leading provider of core technologies and RF solutions for mobile, infrastructure and aerospace/defense applications, announced the introduction of high power gallium nitride (GaN) monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) power amplifiers in plastic packages designed to improve the size, weight and power performance in commercial and military S-band radar applications. 

Mercury Systems Inc., a leading high-tech commercial provider of more affordable secure and sensor processing subsystems powering today's critical defense and intelligence applications, announced the Ensemble® RFM-1RS18 tuner. This fast-tuning wideband device is the first tuner in the embedded industry to be developed using OpenRFM™ system building blocks, affordably delivering comprehensive electromagnetic spectrum coverage for electronic warfare (EW) applications.

 As today's battlefield gets more and more tactical, critical communications have never been more important. And as radios and subsystems are being pushed to become smaller and even more ruggedized, it’s causing a chain reaction right down to the circuit level. Where once rigid and thick film technologies were primary go-to solutions, today's military communication applications are requiring antennas to be even more flexible, circuits to fit into tighter spaces, and signal integrity at higher frequencies to be perfect. And to add to that, today soldiers’ vital signs are as closely monitored as a radar screen — it’s easy to understand the push towards advanced circuitry is tasking traditional thinking. 

Diamond Microwave, a specialist in high performance microwave power amplifiers, has re-designed its range of GaN-based solid-state power amplifiers (SSPA) into a new common module format, and has added  a new X-band model that can be operated in either pulsed or CW mode.

 The model MFC147 from TRAK Microwave provides 13.75 to 14.50 GHz coverage for civilian and military aviation Ku-band SATCOM applications, including In-Flight Entertainment (IFE) systems and UAV communications. The unit features a ruggedized design and innovative thermal management technique to withstand challenging airborne environments utilizing SMT construction with no open die. Input frequency to the Block Upconverter (BUC) is 950-1700 MHz, with Ku-band output of +12 to +17 dBm.  An integrated, low-noise, GaN, Solid State Power Amplifier (SSPA) provides 25 watts minimum output power providing better than -120 dBc/Hz noise power (-140 dBc/Hz typical) and <-22 dBc spectral regrowth (OQPSK).
