Microwave and millimeter-wave high-power vacuum electron devices (VED) represent a modern technological continuation of one of the original and basic building blocks of RF electronics technology. Based on original vacuum tube (valve) principles that date from the turn of the 19th to 20th centuries, these present-day incarnations couple modern...

Agilent Technologies Inc. announced that Inphi Corp. has selected Agilent’s Advanced Design System (ADS) software for the design of its commercially available DDR3 memory interface chip. “We have had many experiences where a traditional SPICE tool was used in the distributed-circuit arena and produced nonphysical results — ones that...

Technicians in the cellular, PCS, GPS and digital communications fields are finding more requirements for 7-16 DIN adapters. For cellular communications, the 7-16 DIN offers technical advantages over the N or SMA connector interfaces. Capable of carrying high power at high frequencies, RF Connectors' 7-16 DINs are larger, more...

Holzworth Instrumentation announced the release of new component products at IMS 2008. The company is a global provider of high performance, ultra low phase noise RF synthesizers.
