As wireless applications grow, the needs for spectrum monitoring and interference hunting grow with them. In some applications, interference can be life-threatening. Portable spectrum analyzers are invaluable interference hunting tools.

Discover the evolving landscape of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and their wireless communication capabilities in our latest abstract. Explore the current status of UAVs and the emerging trends in UAV wireless communication, focusing on the utilization of the ISM frequency band and mobile networks for seamless connectivity.

Building for space is challenging. Program management requirements, parts availability and delivery, parts costs, and testing costs historically make space OCXOs expensive and longlead. Standardizing specifications based on MIL-PRF-55310, NASA EEE-INST-002, NASA Parts Selection List, and GSFC Preferred Parts Lists, and procuring parts to vendors standard drawings can significantly reduce costs and improve delivery of high-performance OCXOs.

In this paper we summarize measured receive antenna performance for a commercially available 32-element phased array demonstrator. The demonstrator is configured for hybrid beamforming with eight elements per subarray and four digital channels. The test setup and calibration steps are explained sequentially along with the measured calibration accuracy achieved. Three-dimensional radiation patterns of the antenna array are shown for various electronically steered beam positions including amplitude tapering.

Recent trends and developments, such as 5G deployment, massive MIMO and beamforming, automotive radar, and space applications, are shaping the field of RF communications of the 21st century, particularly in the context of millimeter waves. In this article, the concept of a conventional surface mount planar Wilkinson power splitter is revisited and examined at frequencies above 20 GHz.

Wilkinson Power Divider’s are widely used in many RF and microwave communication systems, including those with multiple channels or complex feed networks. Learn more about how Wilkinson Power Dividers work and how they play a crucial role in overall device performance.

A technical collaboration between Teledyne e2v, France, and Fraunhofer IIS, Germany, recently evaluated the performance of a four-channel digitally steered 2.4 GHz planar antenna system. In this, a pair of state-of-the-art, gigahertz capable, digitalto-analog converters (EV12DD700) featuring a slew of novel, on-chip digital beamforming controls delivered digital beam steering control. The aim - to gain further validation of Teledyne e2V’s advance towards microwave RF softwarization.

TVS diodes help protect electronic circuits from surge voltages associated with an ESD event. This paper demonstrates XFdtd’s transient EM/circuit co-simulation capability, an approach that embeds a transient nonlinear circuit solver in the full-wave simulation so that all electromagnetic phenomena are accounted for in a single time-domain simulation.
