Peregrine Semiconductor Corp., founder of RF SOI (silicon on insulator) and pioneer of advanced RF solutions, introduces the UltraCMOS® PE44820, an 8-bit digital phase shifter that covers a 358.6-degree phase range. This monolithic, digitally controlled product is easy to design-in and delivers exceptional phase accuracy and high linearity.

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, is exhibiting its portfolio of GaN RF devices for L-, S-, C-, and X-Band radar at the 2015 International Radar Symposium India (IRSI-15), which will take place December 15–19 in Bangalore.  

Southwest Antennas is proud to announce the completion of their new full anechoic antenna test chamber, operated by their partners at Avalon Test Equipment/3PC.

Harris Corp. has received a four-year, $113 million contract from the U.S. Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) to upgrade the Navy's primary long-range, three-dimensional defense radar. The contract includes an initial $39 million order and three one-year options. The contract was received in the first quarter of Harris' fiscal 2016.

Remtec Inc., a leading manufacturer of ceramic substrates, packages and submounts using PCTF (plated copper on thick film) metallization, has been acquired by Legacy Technlogies Inc. (LTI) , a major player in the field of precision glass-to-metal seals and glass-to-metal hermetic packages.

Shareholders at Nokia Corp. overwhelmingly expressed their support for the proposed acquisition of Alcatel-Lucent, by adopting all resolutions set forth in an Extraordinary General Meeting ("EGM") concerning an authorization to issue shares and changes to the articles of association and composition of the board of directors. 

Teledyne Paradise Datacom, a business unit of Teledyne Microwave Solutions, announced the availability of a breakthrough Ka-Band outdoor SSPA that is based on a single 100 watt GaN module. Two and four-module models can generate power levels that exceed those of traveling wave tube amplifiers (TWTAs) commonly used at gateway earth stations today.

Linear Technology Corp. introduces the LTC4125, a wireless power transmitter, complementing our wireless receiver ICs for the wireless charging market. The LTC4125 is a simple, high performance monolithic full bridge resonant driver, capable of delivering up to 5W of power wirelessly to a companion receiver. It functions as the transmit circuit component in a complete wireless power transfer system comprised of transmit circuitry, transmit coil, receive coil and receive circuitry.

IZT GmbH launched a new option for its powerful R4000 RF receiver. The 32768-point FFT option in combination with the 120 MHz real-time bandwidth ensures reliable detection of fast bursts and frequency-agile signals. Even the most advanced hoppers with extremely high hop rates are detected under demanding SNR environments. The Hopper Detector plugin provides real-time information about detected hoppers containing bandwidth, dwell time and time-of-arrival information.

EDI CON China is pleased to announce that Dr. Wai Chen, chief scientist and general manager of IoT at China Mobile, will be the chairman of EDI CON China 2016, taking place April 19-21, 2016 in Beijing at the China National Convention Center (CNCC). Dr. Chen presented in the plenary session of EDI CON 2015 about IoT Services “Opportunities and Challenges – A Perspective of a Mobile Operator.” He will lead the plenary session in 2016 with an updated outlook from China Mobile and their latest activities in the area of IoT.
