Nearly 10,000 attendees flocked to the IEEE MTT-S 2016 International Microwave Symposium (IMS) May 22-27, marking a 32 percent increase in show attendance since 2013 and validating IMS as an essential event for the wireless industry. Tradeshow News Network (TSNN) recently named IMS one of the 25 Fastest Growing Shows based on attendance. The six-day event, held in San Francisco’s Moscone Center, drew nearly 3,000 attendees to the technical program and featured a record-breaking 625 companies on the sold-out show floor.

RFMW Ltd. announced design and sales support for a 1000 W pulsed power transistor. Ampleon’s BLA6H0912LS-1000 offers excellent ruggedness for avionics applications such as Mode-S, TCAS, JTIDS, DME and TACAN applications in the 960 to 1215 MHz frequency range.

Pasternack, a leading provider of RF, microwave and millimeter wave products, debuts a new line of semi-rigid test probes designed to assist in testing microwave circuits. By soldering the outer conductor to the signal ground and the exposed center conductor to the trace carrying the signal of interest, sampling measurements with these probes can be made without having to create a separate subassembly circuit board or add a connector to the circuit layout which can take up valuable real estate.

Ural Federal University students have successfully realized an RF miniaturized branch-line coupler using the NI AWR Design Environment™ platform, inclusive of Microwave Office circuit and AXIEM 3D planar electromagnetic (EM) simulators.

Keysight Technologies Inc. and National Applied Research Laboratories (NAR Labs), Taiwan, announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to establish a strategic partnership on research and development of 5G communication technologies. Both parties are committed to working together on the 5G enabling technologies as well as prototype verification and evaluations with a goal of enhancing future Taiwan wireless communication innovations.

Noisecom, a Wireless Telecom Group company, announced a new CNG-EbNo programmable precision carrier-to-noise (C/N) generator with an integrated spectrum analyzer designed for communication systems data streams that include multiple carriers in the frequency band.

SIGFOX, the world’s leading provider of global communications service for the Internet of Things (IoT), and the Irish telecoms provider VT Networks announced the nationwide availability of the SIGFOX low-power and cost-effective IoT connectivity – less than eight months after network deployment began.

MACOM Technology Solutions Inc. ("MACOM") announced the new MAAP-011161 and the MAAP-011193, two packaged linear power amplifiers designed specifically for use in point-to-point radios in cellular backhaul applications.

Boonton, a Wireless Telecom Group company, has added a new fast measurement mode to the 55 Series USB wideband power sensor adding to its industry leading 100,000 measurements per second capabilities.

Infineon Technologies and imec are cooperating to develop highly integrated CMOS-based 79 GHz sensor chips for automotive radar applications.
