M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc., a leading supplier of high-performance analog RF, microwave, millimeterwave and photonic semiconductor products, today announced three new families of diplex filters designed for DOCSIS 3.0 and DOCSIS 3.1 infrastructure equipment. Available in plug-and-play vertical and horizontal form factors along with surface mount configurations, MACOM's new high-performance diplex filters are ideally suited for use in CATV infrastructure spanning nodes, system amplifiers, line extenders, drop amplifiers and RFoG ONUs. 

COMSOL Inc. brings to the simulation community the only fully integrated environment for creating simulation apps by announcing the pre-release of COMSOL Multiphysics 5.2 at the COMSOL Conference 2015 Boston. As the leading provider of multiphysics modeling and simulation software, COMSOL delivers major productivity updates to COMSOL Multiphysics and COMSOL Server with new features, improved stability and robustness, and faster execution. 

Two wireless charging standards are competing for market share as the next generation of resonant wireless technologies is nearing readiness. ABI Research forecasts that through 2020, 713 million Qi and 213 million Powermat/Rezence chargers will ship, along with a small number of proprietary technologies. 

Anritsu Co. announces that it has extended the frequency coverage of its MS46322A Series ShockLine™ Economy Vector Network Analyzers (VNAs) and MS46122A Series ShockLine Compact VNAs to 43.5 GHz. By supporting the higher frequency, the low-cost VNAs can efficiently conduct S-parameter and time domain measurements on RF and microwave passive devices up to 43.5 GHzin a variety of cost-sensitive engineering, manufacturing and university testing applications.

Fairview Microwave Inc., a supplier of on-demand microwave and RF components, introduces a brand new family of ultra-miniature UMCX, WMCX and HMCX32 cable assemblies. Commonly used to connect an external antenna to a mini-PCB, these flexible micro-coax jumpers offer operation from DC to 6 GHz and are ideal for use in wireless communications systems. Additional wireless applications include antennas for GPS and other radio systems, Wi-Fi, wireless LAN, Bluetooth, ZigBee, LTE, mini-PCI and PDA/PCS/cellular handset applications.

MI Technologies is proud to announce its Test Services Laboratory has been accredited in accordance with the recognized International Standard ISO/IEC 17025:2005 General Requirements for the Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories by the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA).

The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a four-year, $750,000 grant to NYU WIRELESS and the NYU Stern School of Business to evaluate the engineering and economic aspects of millimeter wave (mmWave) spectrum and resource management. The mmWave bands are a promising new set of frequencies for next-generation cellular networks that offer orders of magnitude increased data rates relative to current 4G systems. The goal of the grant is to develop new technologies, economic models, and spectrum policy to realize the full potential of these bands.

Teledyne Paradise Datacom, the long-time leader in high power microwave amplifier technology, announced the latest innovations to its line of 3RU rack height solid state power amplifiers (SSPAs) that are available in either GaN (Gallium Nitride) or GaAs (Gallium Arsenide) technologies to address the full range of customers’ needs.

Ericsson has opened registration for the Ericsson Innovation Awards (EIA) 2016, a global competition that gives students the opportunity to develop innovative ideas in collaboration with Ericsson experts.

Qorvo™ Inc., a leading provider of core technologies and RF solutions for mobile, infrastructure and aerospace/defense applications,announced a series of innovations intended to accelerate the deployment of high-speed cable TV (CATV) DOCSIS 3.1 networks while providing cable designers greater flexibility in product design.
