X-COM Systems LLC, a subsidiary of Bird Technologies, introduced the IQC91000A, the only RF and microwave signal recording and playback system that can capture, digitize, and store up to 1000 MHz of the electromagnetic spectrum in real time without gaps and missed signal events within any frequency range from 500 MHz to 18 GHz with 50 dB of spurious-free dynamic range, the highest in the industry.
Mentor Graphics Corp. announced its newest version of the HyperLynx® Signal Integrity/Power Integrity (SI/PI) product for high-speed printed circuit board (PCB) designs. The HyperLynx product addresses high-speed systems design problems throughout the design flow—starting at the earliest architectural stages through post-layout verification.
Red Oak Canyon LLC is pleased to announce the launch of the RF Pro Touch, a portable touchscreen-driven, calibrated RF generator that makes testing circuits or prototype electronic products with RF content easier, faster and more convenient.
The miniature signal generator from AtlanTecRF uniquely combines exceptional RF performance and versatility of digital interface in a highly compact package. In addition to the ultra-wide frequency range of 25 to 6000 MHz, tunable in 1 KHz steps, the spearhead of RF performance of these ASG modules is in the spectral purity of their output signal. Phase noise at an output frequency of 1 GHz is better than -106 dBc/Hz at an offset of 100 KHz from the carrier.
Tektronix introduced the TSG4100A, a vector signal generator (VSG) at the affordable price of a basic signal generator. The new RF signal generator complements other leading mid-range RF test solutions from Tektronix, such as the USB-based RSA306 spectrum analyzer, and mixed domain oscilloscopes.
NXP Semiconductors N.V. and Freescale Semiconductor, Ltd. announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement under which NXP will merge with Freescale in a transaction which values the combined enterprise at just over $40 billion.
Holzworth Instrumentation released a higher output power revision of their popular HSM Series 12.5 and 20 GHz RF synthesizer modules. The phase coherent HSM12001B (10 MHz to 12.5 GHz) and the HSM18001B (10 MHz to 20 GHz) are broadband CW sources which are ideal for use as radar system LOs, system clocks, integrated OEM modules, ATE and embedded systems, as well as benchtop applications.
Anritsu Co. introduces a unique capture and playback function for its MS2830A and MS269xA Spectrum/Signal Analyzer families that brings the most challenging RF environments from the field into the laboratory or production line.
