NI (formerly AWR Corp.) announces AWR Connected™ for DWT, a new NI AWR Design Environment™ flow that enables integration with Design Workshop Technologies’ (DWT) design-rule checking (DRC) and/or layout vs. schematic (LVS) tools for printed circuit board (PCB) and module design.  The new AWR Connected for DWT DRC and LVS flow can run in one of two ways: in the full view/DWT user-interface (UI) mode or transparently from within the Microwave Office UI. 

 Zentech Manufacturing Inc. is pleased to announce the acquisition of Colonial Assembly & Design, LLC.  

 Antenova Ltd, manufacturer of antennas and RF antenna modules for M2M, is announcing the Weii, a new miniature ceramic antenna for all 2.4GHz, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Zigbee and ISM applications. 

W. L. Gore & Associates (Gore) will be featuring its GORE® Microwave/RF Test Assemblies as well as the new Cable Installation Simulator at the International Microwave Symposium, May 19-21 in Phoenix, Ariz., Booth 1042.

Anritsu Co. expands its ShockLine™ family of affordable vector network analyzers (VNAs) with the introduction of the Performance ShockLine MS46500B series.

 Remcom announces a new circuit element optimizer for XFdtd® electromagnetic simulations software that optimizes matching circuits for several antennas serving multiple bands simultaneously. XFdtd’s Circuit Element Optimizer determines lumped element values based on the following goals: radiation efficiency, system efficiency, and S-parameters. This simplifies the antenna matching workflow because the circuit elements remain in the electromagnetic layout structure during optimization. 

Teledyne Microwave Solutions revealed a new line of YIG tuned band-reject filters that covers the frequency range of 125 MHz to 18 GHz. Powered by a new patent-pending technology that overcomes several of the long-time design limitations inherent to YIG Band-Reject, or “notch” filters, the new TMS product line delivers to customers several major performance advancements that are unparalleled to date in the industry.

 Avago Technologies, a leading supplier of analog interface components for wireless, wireline, storage and industrial applications, today announced a miniature highly integrated LNA-filter RFIC module, the ALM-2203, targeting Satellite Digital Audio Radio Service (SDARS) car radio systems. The module is designed to enable SDARS signal to coexist with cellular, WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS signals commonly present in today's automobiles. 

Computer Simulation Technology (CST) announces the release of CST STUDIO SUITE® – Student Edition, a special free version of its flagship electromagnetic simulation package designed to help the engineers of tomorrow to get to grips with the basics of electromagnetic theory, at IMS 2015, booth #3244.

The new phase noise analyzer and VCO tester from Rohde & Schwarz enables ultrasensitive and ultra-fast phase noise measurements. The R&S FSWP also allows users to very easily measure pulsed sources and residual phase noise of RF components. Plus the instrument can be upgraded to a signal and spectrum analyzer.
