A trio of British technology companies comprising Blighter Surveillance Systems, Chess Dynamics and Enterprise Control Systems have combined forces to develop a powerful, highly effective and fully integrated AUDS to combat the threat of malicious micro, mini and larger UAVs or drones.

The IEEE MTT-S 2015 International Microwave Symposium (IMS) welcomed a record-breaking 904 booths from 620 exhibitors to the show floor opening Tuesday, May 19 at 9 a.m. as part of IMS2015 May 17-22 at the Phoenix Convention Center. IMS, the annual conference and exhibition of the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (MTT-S),is the premier international meeting for technologists involved in all aspects of microwave theory and practice. The symposium last visited Phoenix in 2001.

API Technologies Corp., a leading provider of high performance RF, microwave, millimeter wave solutions, announced the launch of Distributed Antenna System (DAS) solutions. API’s DAS interface trays are used to facilitate reliable performance of wireless and broadband devices by boosting coverage and filtering interferences, resulting in improved signal strength and alleviating issues that arise when large numbers of people are trying to send or receive messages, calls and data in a densely populated area.

Crystek has introduced a new line of BNC Low Pass Filters to its CLPFL Series of Low Pass Filters, well as a BNC High Pass Filter to its CHPFL line of High Pass Filters.  Encased in a rugged BNC housing with 50 ohm connectors, these filters are designed for test equipment and general lab use.

Keysight Technologies Inc. announced new enhancements to the E7515A UXM wireless test set to address leading-edgeLTE-A carrier aggregation (CA) test requirements. New capabilities include support for downlink 4CC1, 256 QAM, and LTE-U with up to three unlicensed carriers, as well as FDD-TDD mixed CA and uplink intra- and inter-band CA measurements.

Anokiwave Inc., an innovator and leading supplier of semiconductors enabling mmW and AESA markets, announced the completion of a Series B round of funding. The round was led by Mr. JP Carney, CEO and co-founder of Revolabs, Dr. Lamberto Raffaelli, and COM DEV International Ltd.
