The Ministry of Defence of the Republic of Latvia and Lockheed Martin signed a contract for three TPS-77 Multi-Role Radars (MRR) for use in air surveillance and to complement radar assets already in place.

Skyworks Solutions Inc., an innovator of high performance analog semiconductors connecting people, places and things, and PMC-Sierra Inc. (PMC), a semiconductor and software solutions leader in storage, optical and mobile networks, announced a definitive agreement under which Skyworks will acquire PMC for $10.50 per share in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $2 billion.

Cobham Wireless single TM500 network test system supports real-world scenario emulation, validating the capacity and performance of 4G/3G/2G base stations and complex networks.

Anritsu Corp.has released its new LTE-Advanced Carrier Aggregation (CA) 4CC measurement software for the MT8821C Radio Communication Analyzer, together with multiple new LTE-Advanced capabilities.

In partnership with Keysight Technologies and Maury Microwave, Modelithics has successfully benchmarked a significant new measurement capability and is now offering noise parameter testing through 50 GHz. This important measurement has been added to Modelithics’ list of precision measurement services.

Linear Technology Corp. introduces the LTC4282, an energy monitoring Hot Swap controller with dual MOSFET drive to enable 100A and higher current board designs. The LTC4282 ensures safe board insertion and removal from live 2.9V to 33V backplanes by controlling external N-channel MOSFETs to gently power up capacitors, avoiding sparks, connector damage and system glitches.

Computer Simulation Technology (CST^®) announced that it has acquired all intellectual property of the CoupleFil software developed by InnoDev GmbH.

STMicroelectronics and Autotalks are preparing to release their second-generation V2X chipset to meet the upcoming U.S. mandate on connected road safety.

Anritsu Co. introduces a CPRI RF Measurement option for its BTS Master™ handheld base station analyzer family that can significantly reduce the operational expense (OpEx) associated with troubleshooting interference at base stations. Featuring best-in-class sweep speed and unique test capabilities, the BTS Master-based CPRI RF measurement test set allows field engineers and technicians to conduct accurate RF measurements on Remote Radio Heads (RRHs) while remaining at ground level, eliminating the considerable expense and time associated with calling a tower crew to conduct interference measurements.
