RFMW Ltd. announces design and sales support for Johanson Technology’s (JTI) chip antenna that can operate in both GPS and GLONASS bands simultaneously. This new GPS/GLONASS SMD Antenna: P/N 1575AT54A0010 is compact (15x4x3.2mm) and can replace more expensive patch antennas offering similar performance in small portable applications.

Ethertronics, a leading technology company enabling innovative antenna and RF front end system solutions to deliver the best connected experience, announced that its award-winning EtherBook 1.0™ has been integrated into a new line of ultrabooks, enabling global 3G and 4G (LTE) coverage.

Proper installation of RF connectors onto coax cable is critical in wireless system performance. Two new N male connectors simplify the installation process by eliminating the need to trim the braid during cable preparation. The RFN-1006-49I features a solderless captive pin and the RFN-1006-4I features a crimp pin.

In an update to ABI Research’s M2M Market Data, cellular M2M connections are set to reach over 450 million by 2018.  Europe dragged down worldwide connection growth in 2011 and 2012 to the high teens but with improving world economics connection growth will accelerate to a CAGR of 26 percent through 2018.

Laser Services Inc., an ISO and AS9100 registered laser job shop, has released a video that shows its innovative approach to servicing engineers, designers, and operations managers with expert laser cutting, drilling, marking, etching, ablating, and welding services. The video provides insights on how to best employ Laser Services as an outsource and covers their full breadth of capabilities from prototyping to volume assembly.

Teledyne LeCroy, a subsidiary of Teledyne Technologies Inc., demonstrated the world's first 100 GHz real-time oscilloscope by successfully acquiring and displaying live signals at 100 GHz bandwidth. This demonstrated performance dramatically exceeds currently available capabilities. High speed oscilloscopes are vital tools in the development of high-speed digital networks, the critical backbone of the rapidly expanding cloud-based computing paradigm that characterizes our digital age.

Isola Group S.a.r.l., a market leader in copper-clad laminates and dielectric prepreg materials used to fabricate advanced multi-layer Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), announced its new low loss, low skew, high-speed material, GigaSync™. This product has been engineered to eliminate skew issues in high-speed designs that use differential pairs to create a balanced transmission system able to carry differential (equal and opposite) signals across a printed circuit board. 

Fujitsu Semiconductor Europe (FSEU) announced the release of MB51T008A, a silicon substrate-based, GaN power device that features a breakdown voltage of 150 V.

Sub10 Systems confirmed a new distribution partnership with Horsebridge Network Systems.

Astrium has been selected by the European Space Agency to supply the MicroWave Sounder instruments for the MetOp Second Generation series of satellites.
