Airbus Defence and Space has delivered full operational capabilities for X-band satellite communications to four UK Royal Navy Mine Counter Measure Vessels operating in the Arabian Gulf.

For over 50 years, Voltronics has been providing variable trimmer capacitors to the electronics industry.  In the field of magnetic resonance imaging, Voltronics have developed the broadest line of non-magnetic products in the world.  The V9000 seriesis the newest, smallest, high voltage trimmer capacitor.

If you had any doubts that Brooklyn was fast becoming one of the hottest locales in the tech industry, look no further than the 5G Summit, held from April 23 to 25 at the New York University Polytechnic School of Engineering. Co-organized by the NYU WIRELESS research center and Nokia Solutions and Networks (NSN), the conference, planned to be an annual event from now on, brought together industry leaders from across academia, business and government to explore the future of Fifth Generation—more commonly called 5G—wireless technology.

Agilent Technologies Inc. introduced the Agilent  E4990A and  E4991B impedance analyzers, specifically designed for R&D, quality assurance and inspection engineers characterizing and evaluating passive electronic components, semiconductor devices and materials. The analyzers provide unparalleled accuracy and the best performance in the industry with flexible frequency options, all at an affordable price.

Indium Corp.'s Dr. Ning-Cheng Lee, vice president of technology, will teach a professional development course at the Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC) May 27-30 in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. 

Integrated Microwave Technologies, LLC (IMT), a business unit within the Vitec Group's videocom division, and a leader in advanced digital microwave systems for MAG (Military, Aerospace & Government) markets, highlights its new Briefcase Receiver (BCRx) at AUVSI 2014, the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International's Annual North American Symposium and Exposition (Booth 1045).

 

Cree, Inc. introduces the industry’s highest power continuous wave (CW) GaN HEMT RF transistors packaged in a dual-flat no-leads (DFN) format. Aimed at the cost-sensitive sub-100W commercial radar and data link amplifier market segments, the new 6- and 25-watt DFN transistors effectively obsolete the use of inefficient GaAs transistors in C- and X-Band frequencies and also enable the practical replacement of short life tube-based technology for commercial radar applications such as weather, marine and surveillance.

Element Six, a leader in synthetic diamond supermaterials and a member of the De Beers Group of Companies, announced that its Gallium Nitride (GaN)-on-Diamond wafers have been proven by Raytheon Co. to significantly outperform industry standard Gallium Nitride-on-Silicon Carbide (GaN-on-SiC) in RF devices—reducing thermal resistance, increasing RF power density, and preserving RF functionality.

Agilent Technologies Inc. introduced two new interposer solutions for testing DDR4 and DDR3 DRAM designs with a logic analyzer. Both interposer solutions provide fast, accurate capture of address, command and data signals for debugging designs and making validation measurements.

Custom MMIC, a developer of performance driven monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs), is pleased to announce the appointment of Spartech-South as their technical sales representative in the southeastern states of the United States.
