Engineers simulating electrically large structures, either for radar cross-section analysis or for antenna placement studies, benefitted from the introduction of an asymptotic solver in CST MICROWAVE STUDIO® version 2010. This solver is based on the shooting bouncing ray method. With the latest CST STUDIO SUITE 2010 service pack, significant...

An efficient sensitivity analysis for the CST MWS transient solver will be implemented in version 2011. The sensitivities can be used in the transient as well as the frequency domain solver for yield analysis and fast optimization. The latest addition to this solver will help them to speed up...

Engineers designing narrowband or high Q structures, working with the CST MICROWAVE STUDIO® (CST MWS) frequency domain solver offers some natural advantages. Additionally, it is often used to crosscheck results with the transient solver for even greater confidence. The introduction of "True Geometry Adaptation" in CST MWS version 2009...

Avago Technologies , a supplier of analog interface components for communications, industrial and consumer applications, announced early prototypes have been manufactured of Avago’s proprietary five-chip family that targets the expanding 38 and 42 GHz cellular radio infrastructure and backhaul point-to-point radio markets. Based on market demand and customer feedback,...

Avago Technologies, a supplier of analog interface components for communications, industrial and consumer applications, announced the development of two next generation, low noise amplifiers (LNA) for base station (BTS) RF front-end design. With the addition of these 1500 MHz to 2300 MHz and 2300 MHz to 4000 MHz LNAs,...

Passive Plus Inc. offers an Extended Working Voltage capability for its core Hi Q/low ESR Capacitor line, now available in six case sizes: .055” x.055” extended up to 300 WVDC; .110” x .110” extended up to 1,000 WVDC; .225”x.225” extended up to 5,000 WVDC; .390” x.390” extended up to...

The VectorStar® family is Anritsu ’s Premium VNA line, offering the highest overall performance on a modern platform. The VectorStar VNA offers a new performance benchmark for S-parameter measurements of RF, microwave and millimeter-wave devices. Anritsu provides RF and microwave engineers a powerful measurement tool for performance analysis of...

PMI and Amplitech introduced 1:1 redundant low noise amplifier systems that are designed to offer continuous operation without disruption of signal transmission. If a fault with the main LNA occurs, the unit will automatically switch to the standby LNA to avoid a disruption of signal transmission. The unit can...

The new single channel coax rotary joint rounds off the SPINNER product portfolio at the upper end. SPINNER's BN 835077 with 2.4 mm (f) connections has a transmission range up to 50 GHz, which makes it the product with the broadest transmission band in the series. Further rotary joints...

The Holzworth HX2410 CW to CMOS conversion amplifier greatly reduces the effects of trigger induced jitter caused by low frequency sinusoidal trigger signals, ultimately increasing oscilloscope accuracy. The logic output CMOS logic level is user adjustable between 1.5 and 5.0 V. See a product demonstration at IMS Booth 628....
