Communication satellites provide the bridges for a number of new, specialized markets in commercial and private telecommunications and create ties between nations. In their more than 40 years existence, they have become fixed satellite communications (FSC). Eventually, mobile satellite communications (MSC), navigation and determination came to serve navies, ground...

Taking advantage of over 60 years of experience as a global supplier of traveling wave tubes (TWT) and particular expertise in data transmission via satellite, Thales has introduced the new Ka-band TH 4092. This new introduction continues the company's expansion of its range of high-power TWTs to meet the...

DLI has introduced a family of GPS components that includes two bandpass filters, two diplexers and a notch filter. The bandpass filters and diplexer pass both L1 and L2 frequency bands. The notch filter attenuates the L1 frequency band. Two different versions of the diplexer have been designed and...

High Power Broadband RF Amplifiers Empower is pleased to present the companyís updated products and capabilities guide. The brochure is a comprehensive overview of the companyís capabilities and a listing of its most popular amplifier products. With products that cover from 150 kHz to 6 GHz and an extensive...

Radio Communications Download the Puzzler (PDF) Across 1 The state of play of MIMO OTA standardization in 3 GPP is summarized in this document, which is in the study phase prior to formal standardization 8 The CTIA uses the term Total Isotropic Sensitivity (TIS) for this figure of merit...

AABroadband announces the VCO2-1750, a fundamental mode reflection oscillator that utilizes a silicon bipolar transistor and hyper-abrupt silicon varactor diodes to create a highly linear voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) with wideband tuning characteristics. The device is useful for many wireless applications where high frequency and linear modulation is required. The...

Tektronix Inc. , a manufacturer of oscilloscopes, announced continued expansion of its support for MIPI® (Mobile Industry Processor Interface) Standards with the release of Option D-PHYTX on the TekExpress platform which offers the industry’s first simplified one-button solution for the latest D-PHY specification across a preliminary set of measurements....

The continuation of worldwide peace-keeping operations by the United Kingdom, United States and coalition allies has placed a continued reliance upon the use of Special Operations Forces to perform information-harvesting and security-based activities such as covert reconnaissance and surveillance, and directed counter-terrorism strikes. Key to the success of these...

As the spectrum grows more crowded, higher and higher frequencies are being used. One example is microwave backhaul for cell sites in the 38 GHz range, although there are many others as well. The new Spectrum Master™ MS272xC series from Anritsu Co., which includes the industry's first 32 and...

Both radar and communication systems are RF systems that can be combined with a partially shared technology basis. The challenge is to combine them with the aim of improving radar performance. A network of radar stations, where each station would operate either mono-statically or bi-statically, could be used to...
