Keysight Technologies Inc. announced it will demonstrate an innovative and diverse range of electronic design, verification and test solutions at electronica 2016 (www.electronica.de), Hall A1, Booth 506, Munich, Nov. 8-11.

The new EV12DS460 from e2v is the world's first DAC to perform signal generation directly at K-Band (18 to 27 GHz), removing the need for signal up-conversion and the costly mixers required to perform this task. The DAC simplifies system architecture and reduces size, weight and power.

Inphi Corporation has signed a definitive agreement to acquire ClariPhy Communications Inc. for $275 million in cash. ClariPhy provides ultra-high speed digital signal processing (DSP) systems-on-chip (SoC) for multi-terabit data, long haul and metro networks. This DSP capability complements Inphi’s fiber optic components, which will enable Inphi to offer more of the block diagram for optical networks.

NI, the provider of platform-based systems that enable engineers and scientists to solve the world’s greatest engineering challenges, today announced a collaboration with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to supply core infrastructure for a path-breaking channel emulation testbed, called Colosseum, which will play a central role in the DARPA Spectrum Collaboration Challenge.

SemiGen Inc. , an ISO and ITAR registered RF/microwave assembly, automated PCB manufacturing, and RF Supply Center, has added a series of new limiter diodes to its expanding product offerings, SLP7100 series.

Akoustis Technologies Inc., a manufacturer of innovative BulkONE™ bulk acoustic wave (BAW) high-band RF filters for mobile wireless, announced today a significant performance improvement in its patented single-crystal BAW technology, which the Company believes satisfies resonator requirements to produce commercial, high-band RF filters, including 4G/LTE, Wi-Fi, emerging 5G and other wireless applications.

Akoustis Technologies, Inc. announced that Rohan Houlden has joined the company as VP of engineering. In this role, he will manage the development and qualification of high band RF BAW filter products.

ART-Fi's new the Power Monitoring Kit (PMK) solves some longstanding issues in SAR labs. It features advanced technologies usually found on more expensive RF validation and verification system combinations. Once setup, the customer inputs the expected power — any power, any frequency — and validates automatically. 

Windstream is to expand its fixed wireless technology in 40 markets using Cambridge Broadband Networks (CBNL) equipment and Straight Path spectrum.

EnSilica has further expanded its network of specialist design centers with the establishment of a new facility near Oxford, UK, focusing on RF and low power sensing applications.
