KOA Speer Electronics introduces two new current sensing resistors, the zero ohm SLZ and the 1W/2012 SLW07. The high current SLZ1 jumper chip offers a rated current of 44A in a 2512 size. The SLW07 has an enhanced high power rating of 1 W in a smaller package size of 2010.

EM Software and Systems releases new solvers in FEKO Suite 7.0 A Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) solver has been added to its comprehensive set of powerful computational methods as well as the hybridisation of the Multilevel Fast Multipole Method (MLFMM) with Physical Optics (PO). Three new import file formats are also now available.

Crystek's CVCO55CC-3274-3280 voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) operates from 3274 MHz to 3280 MHz with a control voltage range of 0.3 to 4.7 V. This VCO features a typical phase noise of -115 dBc/Hz @ 10 KHz offset and has excellent linearity. Output power is typically +5 dBm.

ETL Systems, a global designer and manufacturer of RF distribution equipment for satellite communications, has launched a new Components Mounting System (CMS) as part of its new line of RF equipment.
 

Mentor Graphics Corp. announces that Bombardier Aerospace, a leading manufacturer of business jet aircraft, has implemented a complete digital development process for the Learjet 85* aircraft’s electrical distribution system. Adherence to the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 25 Electrical Wiring Interconnection System (EWIS) mandate is now necessary for certification of new civil aircraft. With the FAA’s and Canadian Transportation Agency’s (CTA) EWIS mandate as a goal, Bombardier achieved very significant process and quality improvement objectives. Bombardier Aerospace accomplished these by adopting innovative technology delivered by the Mentor Graphics® Capital® product family.

Vishay Intertechnology Inc. introduces the industry's first surface-mount, four-terminal Power Metal Strip® current sensing resistors in the compact 2726 and 4026 case sizes to provide an operating temperature range to +275 °C. The Vishay Dale WSLT2726 and WSLT4026 combine their high-temperature performance with 3 W power ratings and extremely low resistance values down to 0.002 Ω.

dB Control, a defense electronics manufacturer, was awarded a large contract by a major Asian military customer to design and manufacture high-power traveling wave tube (TWT) transmitters for an airborne program. Terms of the contract prohibit dB Control from naming the customer and product specifications.

Signal Hound announced the Signal Hound BB60C, successor to the popular Signal Hound BB60A. The Signal Hound BB60C is a real-time spectrum analyzer and RF recorder. It has significantly enhanced performance compared to the BB60A. The BB60C has a frequency range of 9 kHz to 6 GHz, an instantaneous bandwidth (IBW) of 27 MHz, and the ability to sweep the RF spectrum at 24 GHz per second. It costs just $2,879.

API Technologies Corp., a leading provider of high performance RF/microwave, power and security solutions for critical and high-reliability applications, will showcase a wide variety of the company's latest high reliability, engineer-friendly products during the 2014 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium.  API will be in Booth 1515 during the exhibition, which takes place June 3-5 at the Tampa Convention Center in Tampa, Florida.
