OEwaves’ chip-scale Micro-Opto-Electronic oscillator (Micro-OEO) supported Lockheed Martin's Extended Area Protection and Survivability (EAPS) program’s successful Guided Test Flight of the Miniature Hit-to-Kill (MHTK) interceptor.

Rohde & Schwarz, a global leader in test and measurement, has expanded its portfolio of solutions focused on the three key aspects that impact mobile network operators’ customer satisfaction: the devices subscribers use, the networks they use them on and the services and applications they use.

AWR Corp., the innovation leader in high-frequency EDA software, is a gold sponsor and will offer a full agenda of activities at the International Microwave Symposium (IMS) 2013 that inform and educate attendees about new ways to use RF/microwave software for circuit and system design. IMS 2013 takes place from June 4 to 7 in Seattle, Washington.

Richardson RFPD Inc. announces availability and full design support capabilities for an omni-directional heavy-duty, fully IP67 waterproof external M2M antenna from Taoglas USA Inc. (Taoglas).

Agilent has a new application note titled "Understand the Basic Principles of Vector Network Analysis" available now.

RFMD will be exhibiting at IMS 2013 at booth 730. Explore the RFMD® industry-leading RF and microwave product portfolio with kiosks featuring solutions for WiFi and smart energy, wireless infrastructure, GaN RF power, and microwave MMICs.

NXP Semiconductors N.V. announced the availability of its ultra-wideband Doherty reference design using the BLF884P and BLF884PS – the industry’s first wideband Doherty power amplifiers capable of broadband operation (470 to 806 MHz). The new 70W DVB-T LDMOS designs bring the high-efficiency gains of Doherty topologies to broadcast transmitters, using NXP’s patent-pending architecture capable of operating over an ultra-wideband spectrum.

LTE-capable networks will continue to mushroom around the globe through 2018. In particular, frequency-division duplex (FDD) networks will see their population coverage expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 33 percent between 2012 and 2018 to hit 57 percent. Time-division duplex (TDD) networks will gain ground at a more rapid rate of 43 percent during this period but will only reach 52 percent population coverage due to fewer licensed markets currently.

Exalt Communications, the leading innovator of next-generation wireless backhaul solutions, unveiled ExpandAir®, the company’s new point-to-multipoint (PMP) platform. The first system available in the platform is a sub-6 GHz non-line-of-sight offering based on Exalt’s exclusive eMIMO® technology, which brings performance, reliability, and security to a new level for value-priced point-to-multipoint microwave backhaul, accelerates deployment time, and reduces infrastructure costs.

Azimuth Systems Inc. and JDSU, two leaders in communications test and measurement products for the telecommunications industry, formally announced a collaboration to answer the mobile industry’s call for more efficient, effective and end-to-end test solutions.
