After years as a consumer of distributed LO amplifiers, Marki Microwave has recently built a design capability for GaAs pHEMT distributed amplifiers specifically for use as LO buffer/driver amps.

M/A-COM Technology Solutions Holdings, Inc. (“MACOM”), a leading supplier of high-performance analog RF, microwave, millimeterwave and photonic semiconductor products, announced its fourth generation of Gallium Nitride on Silicon (GaN on Si) technology.

GigOptix, Inc., a leading supplier of advanced high-speed semiconductor components for use in long-haul, metro, Cloud connectivity, data centers, consumer electronics links and interactive applications, through optical and wireless communications networks, today announced the booking of a $7.9 million order with a large aerospace and defense contractor to deliver ASIC products.

 Radio Frequency Systems (RFS), a global wireless and broadcast infrastructure specialist, has announced a new addition to its InvisiLine™ small-form antenna (SFA) product family, designed to minimize visual impact by allowing better integration into any urban environment. The new SFA04-W800 E-band antennais one of the most discreet E-band (80 GHz) microwave antennas ever developed. Its light weight, compact design, multi-band capabilities and low-profile aesthetics make the SFA04-W800 ideal for small cell, front haul and traditional backhaul systems. 

Coilcraft will be highlighting their newly expanded line of BCL/BCR Series conical inductors at IMS 2015 next week in Phoenix, Arizona. The products are offered in two configurations. The BCR Series has a full-length cap to protect the coil and provide a large surface for pick and place. The BCL Series features “flying leads” to allow precise positioning and adjustment of the mounting angle.

The IEEE MTT-S 2015 International Microwave Symposium (IMS) will debut Microwave Week’s first Wearables + Wireless Pavilion featuring emerging wearable electronics that utilize RF and microwave technologies. Curated and sponsored by Intel and Wireless Design and Development, the pavilion will be located at Booth #307 in the Phoenix Convention Center as part of the symposium May 17-22, 2015.

As the market trends toward more commercial UAVs, so does AUVSI’s Unmanned Systems show as it rebrands itself next year as Xponential. The renaming is meant to reflect the “Innovative and Expanding Industry“ as the event has grown over the years to about 600 exhibitors and 8,000 attendees very similar in size to IMS.

TMD Technologies Limited will be emphasising the company’s ever-growing capability in the global avionics and aerospace industries and its impressive reputation in the radar, EW/ECM and communications markets at the 2015 International Paris Air Show.

Cobham Antenna Systems has developed a range of dual-polar C-Band antennas covering the 4.4 to 5.0 GHz frequency band.

STMicroelectronics announced what is claimed to be the world’s first 500 Mbaud High-Symbol-Rate (HSR) satellite demodulator chip.
