KR Electronics part number 3157-1 is a 70 MHz bandpass filter. It has a min 0.5 dB bandwidth of 30 MHz. The filter is group delay and amplitude equalized.

Guerrilla RF, Inc., a leading provider of high performance MMICs, is pleased to announce the introduction of our first family of broadband, low noise amplifiers featuring Guerrilla Armor™, our patented and proprietary architecture for insuring high off-state isolation for the LNA under high RF input power level conditions.

Texas Instruments and Netas, a Turkish based value-added systems integration and technology services company in the fields of information and communications, announced their collaboration on an LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) macro base station for a new public safety network commissioned by the government of Turkey. Netas has selected TI's KeyStoneTM-based wireless infrastructure System-on-Chip (SoC), the TCI6638K2K, for the baseband processing in the solution, while implementing its own proprietary software.

Agilent Technologies Inc. announced that the Agilent B1530 Waveform Generator/Fast Measurement Unit (WGFMU) was used by the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay to make ultrafast measurements of negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) degradation in deeply scaled high-K metal gate (HKMG) CMOS devices for a wide variety of DC and AC stress tests.

An Anite-led task group within the METIS project has published the world’s first channel models for 5G.

Mentor Graphics Corp. announced its Xpedition™ Path Finder product suite, providing designers with the ability to assemble and optimize complex electronic systems, and thereby enabling improved design, increased chip performance, and cost efficiency. This product, the newest addition to the Mentor Graphics® Xpedition platform, supports a methodology that leverages layout data from the IC and board design teams to guide and automate IC package selection and optimization.

Texas Instruments announced the addition of the RF Software Development Kit (RFSDK) to its Base Station SoftwarePac, enabling small cell developers to configure the baseband-to-radio communication and achieve first call or system verification in just one day compared to the weeks or months it took previously. With the new RFSDK, TI's KeyStone™- based TCI6630K2L small cell System-on-Chip (SoC) and TCI6631K2L backhaul SoC can now seamlessly implement digital radio functions like digital pre-distortion (DPD) and crest factor reduction (CFR), and use a JESD204B interface to communicate with TI's analog front end transceiver, the AFE7500, to maximize performance and system power efficiency. 

Agilent Technologies Inc. announced it will demonstrate BenchVue software and the Agilent RF & Microwave Industry-Ready Student Certification Program at the 121st Annual American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) Conference and Exposition, June 15-18, at the Indiana Convention Center (Booth 1107) in Indianapolis.

Ethertronics, a leading technology company enabling innovative antenna and RF system solutions to deliver the best connected experience, unveiled EtherHelix GPS™, the world’s smallest, stand-alone, Right Hand Circularly Polarized (RHCP), external GPS antenna. 

The 80,000 fans expected per match at the legendary Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro during the 2014 FIFA World Cup will be able to share the experience with family and friends over a new multi-operator, multi-technology network infrastructure enabled by Radio Frequency Systems (RFS), the global wireless and broadcast infrastructure specialist.
