Hittite Microwave will introduce the HMC700LP4E, the first in a new series of integrated fractional-N synthesizers designed to cover a wide range of applications particularly those sensitive to phase noise and signal jitter. This innovative fractional-N synthesizer features a 16 bit fractional divider, 24 bit delta-sigma modulator, 14 bit...

Fotofab , a supplier of precision thin-metal parts, offers RF and board level engineers the design flexibility and cost efficiency they need to solve tough real estate issues on congested circuit boards with their custom “dimple” shields. The dimpled, snap-fit lid permits component access for testing and other procedures...

Agilent Technologies Inc. announced nonlinear vector network analyzer (NVNA) capability for its PNA-X microwave network analyzer, establishing a new industry standard in RF nonlinear network analysis from 10 MHz to 26.5 GHz. Requiring minimal external hardware, the Agilent NVNA software effectively converts a 4-port PNA-X into a high performance...

In this paper parameters of an old technology altimeter are discussed and then after deriving the measure of quality factor (height measurement accuracy), suitable solutions for improving the technology, namely decreasing its peak power (from 62.5w to10.9w) so to improve its LPI characteristics while maintaining its performance quality are...

1. Introduction The planar end fire tapered slot antenna (TSA) is a novel technique and is presently quite new [1], this has been less studied theoretically with little information or analysis results available in journals and literature today. These types of radiating structures find wide applications [2] vis-à-vis: as...

Because of nonlinearities, all amplifiers generate intermodulation products, some of which are very difficult to remove. Take the case of a narrow-bandwidth amplifier which must put out a very clean RF signal; that is, any frequencies outside the band due to intermodulation must be greatly attenuated, often by 50...

Introduction UWB technology is quickly gaining acceptance as a wireless technology with outstanding characteristics. To understand UWB, we begin with a look at its origins and its growth to date. History Early radios like Guglielmo Marconi’s spark gap design (1896) marked the beginning of Impulse Radio (IR) communications. Inspired...

The International Microwave Symposium (IEEE MTT-S) this year will be held at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, GA, from June 15- 20, 2008. As part of this symposium, M2 Global Technology 's Engineering Manager, Rene Quintanilla, will present a free seminar on Application Principles for Circulators and...

Paratek Microwave Inc. , a technology leader in radio frequency (RF) components for mobile wireless applications, will be appearing at the 2008 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium in Atlanta, GA, in Booth 2111 . Paratek will be demonstrating its Passive Tunable IC (PTIC) technology in the form of two...

We at New Continents Technology (NCT) are honoured to participate at the MTT-S IMS 2008, and we attach much importance to our attendance because the IMS is widely considered to be the world’s premier microwave event. Significantly too, it affords valuable access for all microwave contributors to get together...
