 Marki Microwave is proud to announce the release of MMIC mixers and amplifiers at the International Microwave Symposium in Phoenix. After several years of intensive development, the new GaAs Schottky MMIC mixers serve as an outstanding low cost and high performance complement to Marki's existing band ofdouble balanced Microlithic® mixers. Between these two products lines, Marki has every RF and LO frequency from 1.5 to 67 GHz covered with some type of chip scale form factor design. 

Isola Group, a market leader in copper-clad laminates and dielectric prepreg materials used to fabricate advanced multilayer printed circuit boards (PCBs), will exhibit in booth #1135 at the IEEE MTT International Microwave Symposium (IMS) 2015, which will be held in conjunction with the IEEE Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits (RFIC) Symposium and the ARFTG Microwave Measurement Conference.

TowerJazz and The University of California, San Diego (UCSD) announced they have collaborated to demonstrate the first 256-element (16 x 16) wafer-scale phased array transmitter with integrated high-efficiency antennas operating at 56 to 65 GHz frequency range.

TTE Filters, a U.S.-based manufacturer of high-reliability RF filters and microwave filters for demanding communication and signal processing applications, will introduce a new line of Bias Tees at the upcoming International Microwave Symposium (IMS2015) being held in Phoenix, Ariz. on May 19-21, 2015.

Northrop Grumman Corp. announced its participation in three Phoenix, Arizona-area conventions focused on microwave and semiconductor technology.

 By the end of 2014, China gained almost 100 million LTE subscriptions in the first year of full LTE commercialization, demonstrating an accelerating growth momentum, according to ABI Research. Thanks to the first-mover advantages, China Mobile seized almost 90% share of the total LTE market in China. “Since the other two China mobile operators—China Unicom and China Telecom—were granted preferred FDD-LTE licenses in March 2015, it is expected that China will overtake the United States to become the largest 4G market in the world, accumulating 500 million LTE subscriptions, or 36.5% of the domestic cellular subscriptions in 2015,” comments Marina Lu, Research Analyst at ABI Research. 

 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 today that it has been awarded a $7.1 million indefinite quantity/indefinite delivery (IDIQ) contract by the U.S. Naval Warfare Center, Crane Division (NSWC) to supply advanced radio frequency (RF) tuners, digital receivers and related equipment to be used as spares during the installation of the AN/SLQ-32(V)6 electronic countermeasure system on U.S. Navy and Coast Guard ships. Work will be performed at the Company's headquarters in Chelmsford, Massachusetts, and is expected to be complete by May 2020. The AN/SLQ-32(V)6 was developed as part of the Navy’s Surface Electronic Warfare Improvement Program (SEWIP), which is an upgrade to the AN/SLQ-32 electronic warfare anti-ship missile defense system. 

Rogers Corp. to show high performance circuit materials and assist with thermal management at 2015 IEEE International Microwave Symposium.

Microsemi Corp., a leading provider of semiconductor solutions differentiated by power, security, reliability and performance, announced it will feature 13 new products from its radio frequency (RF), microwave and millimeter wave integrated circuits (ICs), modules, monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs) and subsystem portfolio at the 2015 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium (IMS2015) and exhibition.
