T-Tech Inc. the manufacturer of the Quick Circuit rapid prototyping system announces CNC2PCB^®. The new software application allows you to output your DXF data, Gerber data, or NC Drill data to computer numerical control programs. By following the EIA RS-274 industry standard, the output from CNC2PCB allows you to fabricate your PCB or chassis on your milling center in your mechanical engineering department.

Wolfspeed, A Cree Company and a leading global supplier of GaN-on-SiC high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) and monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs) with best-in-class reliability, will release the highest power 50V GaN HEMT demonstrated to date — its 900W CGHV14800 GaN HEMT for L-Band radar applications — to market at European Microwave Week 2016, which will take place in London, October 3–7.

NI AWR Design Environment will be showcased at multiple events during European Microwave Week 2016 (EuMW 2016), from October 4-6 in London. NI AWR software demonstrations on display in Booth #4 include the latest applications featuring load pull, radar systems, antenna design, AWR Connected™ third-party integration flows and the newest product in the NI AWR design software portfolio, AntSyn™ , a cloud-based software as a service (SaaS) for antenna synthesis and optimization solution. Booth visitors will also be treated to a special sneak peek of select new features in the upcoming V13 release.

Horizon House Publications announces the launch of Signal Integrity Journal, a sister publication to Microwave Journal, covering signal integrity, power integrity and EMC/EMI related topics. Signal Integrity Journal will be the first peer reviewed, industry journal to cover these markets. Signal Integrity Journal is initially launching as a website, www.signalintegrityjournal.com, and plans to start publication of the periodical journal in 2017. The website is now available as a beta version with content being added quickly for full release shortly.

Anokiwave Inc. announced it has joined, as a voting member, the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS), whose goal is to advance emerging 5G networks.

Analog Devices Inc. (ADI) introduced four broadband, hermetic RF/microwave standard modules: a power amplifier, limiting amplifier, digital attenuator and SPST switch.

Copper Mountain Technologies will be displaying a number of its most popular vector network analyzers at the premiere EDI CON USA in Booth 715 in the Hynes Convention Center in Boston, Mass. Sept 20-22, 2016.

Filter start-up Resonant Inc. has signed a development agreement with a new customer, their fourth. Resonant will develop a surface acoustic wave (SAW) duplexer for use in a mobile front-end.

Ardent Concept's patented QUICKLINK™Connector mounts directly to the PCB with a twist-to-lock footprint design that requires only two small thru holes and a gold pad for the connector to land on. QUICKLINK™ footprints can be placed anywhere on your board to allow easy access to any channels from your device without having to solder on costly SMA or SMP surface mount receptacles.

To address the need for radio systems that can adapt to changing environments on the fly and that can be easily reconfigured once in the field, BAE Systems has developed the MATRICS (Microwave Array Technology for Reconfigurable Integrated Circuits) chip.
