TiaLinx Inc. announced the launch of the Phoenix50-H. The quad coaxial mini-copter system is capable of performing multiple functions such as detecting movement or breathing of a hiding person in a compound from a sloped roof. The mini-copter can be remotely controlled at extended standoff distances of more than...
Stop by Booth #3915 at IMS 2011 in Baltimore to see a few examples of Reactel Inc.'s miniature discrete component filters in lowpass, highpass, bandpass, notch and diplexer configurations operating in a frequency range of 10 to 5000 MHz. These extremely small packages are perfect for mobile or man-pack...
The development of coaxial microwave components capable of handling high peak power without the presence of multipactor is an important part of component design for space and vacuum environments. Multipactor is a resonance type of discharge that can occur under vacuum conditions. 1 The electric component of the electromagnetic...
Understanding device behavior under desired operating conditions is a critical step in the design of any high performance active RF device (e.g., an amplifier or converter). If the component operates in continuous-wave (CW) mode, that characterization can be as simple as measuring its S-parameters using a vector network analyzer...
Advanced Design System (ADS) 2011 from Agilent Technologies represents the most significant release of the ADS product in over a decade. With improvements to virtually all areas of the platform, it offers something for anyone doing RF/microwave design, whether of a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC), module or printed...
The new R&S ZNB family of network analyzers stands out due to its wide dynamic range of up to 140 dB (at 10 Hz IF bandwidth), its low trace noise of 0.004 dB (rms) (at 10 kHz IF bandwidth) and its high output power of up to +13 dBm...
Cellular service providers are struggling to keep up with the surging demand for data services. As this demand continues to outstrip the available infrastructure capacity, operators are recognizing the need for heterogeneous network deployments. This trend, from voice-centric macro base stations to lower power, wider bandwidth small cell, distributed...
The Mini-Circuits PMA2-162LN+ is an ultra low noise MMIC amplifier covering 0.7 to 1.6 GHz with a unique combination of low noise and high IP3 making it ideal for sensitive receiver applications. The design operates on a single 4 V supply and is internally matched to 50 ohms. It...
Hittite Microwave Corp. has introduced a new high speed analog-to-digital converter (ADC) product line that exhibits ultra-low power dissipation and high cost efficiency while maintaining high performance. The HMCAD1520, HMCAD1511 and HMCAD1510 are multi-mode ADCs with integrated crosspoint switches (Mux Array). HMCAD1520 offers 12-bit resolution up to 640 MSPS...
NXP Semiconductors has introduced an ultra high frequency (UHF) 600 W RF power transistor that is a LDMOS device for broadcast transmitters and industrial applications. The BLF888A is the most powerful LDMOS broadcast transistor in the market to date. For a DVB-T signal over the full UHF band from...
