 San-tron Inc., a leading manufacturer of RF coaxial connectors and cable assemblies, has added high performance 4.1/9.5 mini-DIN connectors and adapters to their growing line of low-PIM SRX products. The mini-DINs feature RF performance through 16 GHz and yield low PIM of -160 dBc with VSWR < 1.10:1 up to 7 GHz. These new additions complement San-tron's low-PIM SRX toolbox of solutions. 

 Keysight Technologies, Inc. announced two additions to its Signal Studio software suite of signal creation tools. 

 Radio Frequency Systems (RFS), the global wireless and broadcast infrastructure specialist, announced it has extended its CompactLine® EASY family of microwave antennas with two new E-Band (71-86GHz) antennas, the SB1-W800C and the SC2-W800BYYY. RFS E-Band antennas provide the optimal combination of electrical and mechanical performance coupled with cost-effectiveness. 

 The new P518B500 wideband tuner from diminuSys provides instantaneous bandwidth of 500 MHz over the 0.5 to 18 GHz band.  

 The WBT by QRC Technologies provides complete RF recording and playback at 50 MHz (2x25MHz) bandwidth tunable from 50MHz to 6GHz.  At less than 10lbs and 70W, this portable solution records to solid state devices and costs far less than other products.  

 A new low power I/Q modulator from Linear Technology enables battery-powered transmitters operating in the 30MHz to 1.3GHz frequency bands, breaking new ground in power consumption, sideband suppression, carrier leakage and dynamic range performance. 

MESL Microwave has developed a C-band polarizer for use in high power TWTA based radar systems.

NEC Corporation successfully completed interoperability testing of its multi-vendor SON and Small Cell Femto Solution at the Small Cell LTE Plugfest 2.

e2v technologies has agreed to acquire Seville-based Innovaciones Microelectronicas SL, trading as AnaFocus, a Spanish designer and developer of CMOS imaging sensors for up to €34.2 million.

The Rosetta comet chaser developed and built by Airbus Defence and Space for the European Space Agency (ESA) has arrived at its destination after flying for more than 10 years and travelling more than six billion kilometres.
