As the premier RF and microwave event in Europe, EuMW 2015 attracted about 1,400 conference delegates and 4,200 unique attendees with the exhibition featuring 303 companies. MWJ editors have compiled a comprehensive summary of the event, including links to pictures and videos.

Keysight Technologies Inc. announced five new frequency options for its E5063A ENA series network analyzerand set the E5063A’s new starting price at $10,000. With these new options and price, the E5063A now offers the best balance between price and performance. This allows passive component manufacturers to satisfy business and technical requirements.

Communications & Power Industries LLC (CPI) acquired ASC Signal Corp., which designs and builds advanced satellite communications, radar and high-frequency antennas and controllers. ASC Signal's high-performance antennas are used in commercial and government satellite communications, terrestrial communications, imagery and data transmission, and radar and intelligence applications.

In keeping with its well renowned policy of maintaining stock of high specification microwave components, AtlanTecRF announces inventory of the new ultra broad band 180 degree hybrid coupler covering an instantaneous bandwidth of 2 to 18 GHz.

 Linear Technology Corp. announces the LT3095, a dual-channel IC delivering two very low noise, low ripple bias supplies from a single input. Each channel incorporates a monolithic step-up DC/DC converter post-regulated by an integrated ultralow noise and high PSRR (power supply rejection ratio) linear regulator. The LT3095 delivers up to 50mA of continuous output current at output voltages up to 20V with total ripple and noise < 100µVP-P. The device operates from a 3V to 20V input voltage range, making it compatible with a variety of power sources. 

Fairview Microwave Inc., a supplier of on-demand microwave and RF components, introduces an all new family of low profile right angle high performance flexible cable assemblies. This release consists of 16 unique assemblies covering a frequency range from DC to 26.5 GHz for the SMA versions and DC to 18 GHz for the Type-N and TNC terminated cables. 

M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc., a leading supplier of high-performance analog RF, microwave, millimeter wave and photonic semiconductor products, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Lincoln Laboratory, announced successful field tests of Multifunction Phased Array Radar technology (MPAR). 

Anite, a global leader in wireless equipment testing technology, announced that PTCRB1 has approved Anite’s LTE data throughput test cases for device certification testing. Users can easily access these test cases (approved at the PVG#70 meeting in Sweden earlier this month) from Anite’s Conformance Toolset. The approved test cases enable device and chipset manufacturers to verify the data throughput performance of new devices prior to market introduction.

Soitec (Euronext), a world leader in generating and manufacturing semiconductor materials for the electronics and energy industries, and Shanghai Simgui Technology Co., Ltd. (Simgui), a leading Chinese silicon-based semiconductor materials company, jointly announced that the first 200-mm silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafers have been produced at Simgui’s manufacturing facility in Shanghai using Soitec’s proprietary Smart Cut™ technology, and will be shipped within the next weeks for customer’s qualification.

Anritsu Co., the global leader who introduced the first handheld wireless network analyzer 20 years ago, ushers in a new era of field wireless testing with the introduction of Remote Spectrum Monitor, a platform of modular and scalable products that helps operators generate a greater return on their multi-billion dollar spectrum investments and maximizes network capacity to meet consumer demand.
