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.
