Tyco Electronics introduced a new low-cost, RoHS compliant, dual SPDT switch die for broadband applications that require high linearity, low insertion loss and high isolation. The M/A-COM MASW-008206-000DIE is intended for 802.11a, 802.11b/g, PC Card and access point applications and is optimized for 2.4 GHz as well as 5.8...

Freescale Semiconductor has introduced a 50 V laterally diffused MOS (LDMOS) RF power transistor designed to deliver 50 percent higher output power than competing UHF TV broadcast solutions. Demonstrating industry-leading RF figures of merit, the MRF6VP3450H device offers the highest output power in its class for UHF applications while...

Computer Simulation Technology (CST) announces a series of customer centric workshops focusing on high frequency system design challenges. The series investigates how new technology will benefit designers working in the high speed data, power integrity and EMC/EMI areas, as well as on optical applications. Following some recent acquisitions, CST...

RF Industries Ltd. announced that its RadioMobile division has received new orders from Dial-a-Cab for software and hardware valued at approximately $500,000 and scheduled for delivery over the next 10 months. "This contract is part of our long-term relationship with Dial-a-Cab to upgrade their 15 year-old installation, which handles...

The April ARMMS RF and Microwave Society conference , sponsored by Plextek and held at Milton Hill House, near Oxford, UK, was particularly significant — for the introduction of a new panel session and also for the fact that for the first time it was oversubscribed, with all of...

Bureau Veritas ADT , Taiwan's leading WiMAX™ testing and certification company has awarded Agilent Technologies a contract for Mobile WiMAX Protocol Conformance Test (PCT). The company provides Mobile WiMAX testing and certification services to the international community and will use Agilent's N6430A Mobile WiMAX PCT system to deliver WiMAX...

At a recent workshop in China the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) agreed to plans for the further evolution of Long Term Evolution (LTE) so that it can be considered within the International Telecommunication Union’s recent call for ‘IMT-Advanced’ technologies. The requirements for ‘LTE-Advanced’ will be contained in a...

SUSS MicroTec AG has installed its PM300WLR advanced 300 mm wafer-level reliability (WLR) test system at a leading Japanese manufacturer of semiconductor devices, where it will be used for testing the reliability of current and next-generation devices. As the technology and design of semiconductor devices advance, the need to...

Published Tuesday, April 15, 2008 | Last Update 4.15.08 Here are your replies to the April Expert Advice column Dan Nehring - VP of Engineering, Valpey Fisher Corporation. Oscillators are like cars. Some are powerful, sleek (expensive) performers, some are just economy clunkers (clockers), and most are in between....

In this article the use of cross monopole antennas is discussed. These antennas are known for their wide impedance bandwidth and good omni-directional radiation pattern. A novel dual-band-rejected design for cross semi-elliptic monopole antenna is proposed and experimentally studied. The proposed antenna consists of an ultra-wideband cross semi-elliptic monopole...
