NI, the provider of platform-based systems that enable engineers and scientists to solve the world’s greatest engineering challenges, announced an early access version of the WLAN Measurement Suite with support for the IEEE 802.11ax (draft 0.1) high-efficiency wireless draft standard. The WLAN Measurement Suite, combined with NI’s RF vector signal transceiver (VST), empowers engineers to measure the performance of their 802.11ax designs confidently in the presence of significant new changes to the 802.11 physical layer specification.

Analog Devices Inc. (ADI) announced it will exhibit a complete 10 Gbps E-Band solution for point-to-point radio at the IEEE International Microwave Symposium (IMS) 2016, booth 1519 in San Francisco, Calif., May 24–27. Delivering a 10 Gbps full signal chain solution is a milestone for the communication industry, enabling high bandwidth applications to operate entirely on wireless networks without the need for expensive fiber infrastructure. Analog Devices has partnered with Escape Communications Inc. to create a unique ecosystem that goes beyond components and provides a full solution for the customer.

EE, the UK’s largest operator, is backing Lime Microsystems’ LimeSDR initiative to bring the software defined radio platform into full-scale production.

Ampleon announced a wide portfolio of RF Power solutions for medium power and massive-MIMO applications.

For the first time, two prototypes of products controlled exclusively through gestures were demonstrated at “Google I/O” today, a smartwatch and a wireless speaker.

Pasternack, a leading provider of RF, microwave and millimeter wave products, introduced the new PEM009-KIT 60 GHz development system which offers designers the ability to perform product development and experimentation of single and multi-carrier high bandwidth modulation covering 57 to 64 GHz in the globally unlicensed ISM frequency spectrum. 

Anritsu Co., the industry leader in field spectrum analysis tools, introduced the MS27100A Spectrum Monitoring Module that brings Anritsu’s field-proven, industry leading RF spectrum analysis technology to OEM applications.

Harris Corp. has received an eight-year, $96 million ceiling, single-award IDIQ contract from the U.S. Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) to supply precision approach radars (PAR) to the U.S. Navy, Air Force and Army. The contract was awarded during the fourth quarter of Harris' fiscal 2016.

New technologies on display at IMS2016 will include ETL’s range of products for Global Positioning System (GPS) and the broader Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) applications. The new range includes outdoor and indoor GPS over Fibre and GPS Splitter units, which provide a reliable method for distributing GPS timing signals from a single antenna.

San-tron Inc., a manufacturer of RF coaxial connectors and cable assemblies, will be discussing a new quick turn, custom cable assembly service at the International Microwave Symposium (IMS2016) in San Francisco, Calif., May 24-26 in Booth #1039. Advanced, custom-built assemblies will be built to spec to meet a variety of application requirements for premium signal performance and shock, vibration, and thermal conditions.
