NI (formerly AWR Corp. announces that NI AWR Design Environment™ V12’s new load pull features for power amplifier design will be the topic of a paper given by Chris Bean of AWR Group, NI at the Topical Symposium on Power Amplifiers for Wireless Communications being held September 21-22, 2015 in San Diego.

e2v has moved to new offices in Chaoyang District, Beijing.

Innovative Integration, a trusted supplier of signal processing and data acquisition hardware and software solutions, has expanded it's presence into the PXI/Instrumentation market with the addition of the PXIe-XMC Adapter.

Remcom announces the integration of XFdtd® Electromagnetic Simulation Software and Optenni Lab™ matching circuit optimization software. The Optenni addition enables XFdtd users to more easily generate a matching network topology and initial component values for their device. Once the topology is chosen and physically laid out on the PCB, XFdtd’s Circuit Element Optimizer completes the matching network design process by determining the optimal component values using full wave FDTD simulation, taking electromagnetic phenomena, such as coupling, into account.

Knowles is pleased to announce that the new capacitor facility in Suzhou, China is fully operational. This completes the relocation of Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor (MLCC) manufacturing from plants in the UK and Mexico.

RFMW Ltd., announced design support for MECA LPTC series of Low-PIM terminations.The MECA LPTC series features compact terminations at power handling levels of 10, 50, 100 and 250 watts with outstanding PIM performance of -160 to -165 dBc. All of the terminations perform up to 2700 MHz with a maximum VSWR 1.20:1. The MECA Low-PIM terminations are available in 7/16, N and 4.1/9.5 connector configurations.

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.
