RF Micro Devices Inc., a global leader in the design and manufacture of high-performance radio frequency components and compound semiconductor technologies, reported financial results for the Company's fiscal 2013 first quarter, ended June 30, 2012.

The Times-Protect® LP-GPX-05-T high performance lightning protector from Times Microwave Systems is an exceptional DC pass design for protection of GPS receivers requiring up to 5 V dc power to be supplied on the center pin for L1, L2 and L3 bands. While the RF path is DC blocked, the biased DC voltage protection circuit uses state-of-the-art solid state protection technology to provide unsurpassed surge performance.

The CSRF series from Stackpole is a foil on ceramic carrier technology that can achieve lower resistance values than thick film technology and offers excellent TCR of as low as 50 ppm. The CSRF0805 is rated at 0.5 W and is available in resistance values from 10 up to 100 milliohms, in 1 and 5 percent tolerances. 

Vishay Intertechnology Inc. introduced a new series of radial-leaded, positive temperature coefficient (PTC) thermistors. Devices in the new TFPTL <http://www.vishay.com/doc?33027>  series feature nickel thin film elements with positive temperature coefficients of + 4110 ppm/K, fast response time of < 2 s, and high stability over a wide temperature range from - 55 to + 150 °C.

Delta Microwave, a supplier of amplifiers, filters, filter/amplifiers, multiplexers, and integrated microwave assemblies would like to congratulate the GPS Metric Tracking System team for the certification of the system on the United Launch Alliance Atlas V from the Eastern Range establishing Initial Operational Capability of the system for range safety.

Crystek's CVCO33BE-1662-1708 VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator) operates from 1662 to 1708 MHz with a control voltage range of 0.5 ~ 4.5 V. This VCO features a typical phase noise of -106 dBc/Hz @ 10KHz offset and has excellent linearity. Output power is typically +2 dBm.

Hesse & Knipps Inc., (www.hesse-knipps.com) the Americas subsidiary of Hesse & Knipps Semiconductor Equipment GmbH, has appointed Allan Camp as technical training manager.

In April 2012 MITEQ achieved AS9100 registration, expanding our scope and commitment to include the Aviation, Space and Defense Industries. MITEQ is now registered to AS9100:2009 (Rev. C) as well as ISO9001:2008 by National Quality Assurance USA (NQA), an accredited registrar of the ANSI-ASQ National Accreditation Board (ANAB).

Linear Technology Corp. introduces the LTC4364, a surge stopper with ideal diode, providing compact and low-loss protection for 4V to 80V electronics in automotive, avionics and industrial systems. The surge stopper shields downstream electronics from input overvoltages and overcurrent, enabling continuous operation through transient surges. Overcurrent limiting protects the system and supply from short-circuits at the load.

Anritsu Co. announced it has enhanced its “E” series Site Master and Cell Master handheld analyzers with the introduction of easyTest Tools aimed at helping engineers and field technicians create, deliver, and display cable and antenna analyzer work instructions.
