Rogers Corp., a global technology leader in the development of high performance printed circuit materials, announced that its division previously known as Advanced Circuit Materials is changing its name to Advanced Connectivity Solutions (ACS)

WIN Semiconductors Corp., the world’s largest pure-play compound semiconductor foundry, announced the release of its sixth generation Enhancement-Depletion mode GaAs Pseudomorphic HEMT technology for high performance RF and mmWave applications.

Eastern OptX introduced the Series 8000, a new test system that addresses the need to test multiple RF radios or wireless systems over different propagation paths, simultaneously.

Signal Hound, a leader in high-performance, USB-based RF test and measurement products, announced a revolutionary new vector signal generator (VSG) that breaks price barriers. It is USB-powered, weighs just 130 grams, and fits into a shirt pocket.

Mercury Systems Inc., a leading high-tech commercial provider of more affordable secure and sensor processing subsystems powering today's critical defense and intelligence applications, announced the Ensemble® RFM-1RS18 tuner. This fast-tuning wideband device is the first tuner in the embedded industry to be developed using OpenRFM™ system building blocks, affordably delivering comprehensive electromagnetic spectrum coverage for electronic warfare (EW) applications.

 As today's battlefield gets more and more tactical, critical communications have never been more important. And as radios and subsystems are being pushed to become smaller and even more ruggedized, it’s causing a chain reaction right down to the circuit level. Where once rigid and thick film technologies were primary go-to solutions, today's military communication applications are requiring antennas to be even more flexible, circuits to fit into tighter spaces, and signal integrity at higher frequencies to be perfect. And to add to that, today soldiers’ vital signs are as closely monitored as a radar screen — it’s easy to understand the push towards advanced circuitry is tasking traditional thinking. 

NI (formerly AWR Corp.) announces that AWR Connected™ for AMCAD will be on display at the International Microwave Symposium 2015 (IMS 2015), May 18 to 22, in Phoenix in NI Booth #2431. AWR Connected for AMCAD provides ready access between NI AWR Design Environment™ V12 software and AMCAD Engineering stability analysis (STAN) software.

Diamond Microwave, a specialist in high performance microwave power amplifiers, has re-designed its range of GaN-based solid-state power amplifiers (SSPA) into a new common module format, and has added  a new X-band model that can be operated in either pulsed or CW mode.

 Cree, Inc. announced that Cree's wholly owned Power and RF subsidiary has submitted a draft registration statement on a confidential basis to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for a potential initial public offering of the subsidiary’s Class A common stock.
