 Isola Group S.a r.l., a market leader in copper-clad laminates and dielectric prepreg materials used to fabricate advanced multilayer printed circuit boards (PCBs), today announced that its technical staff would offer a conversion service for PCB fabricators of radio frequency (RF) and millimeter-wave applications.  

 Marki Microwave Inc.'s ultra-high linearity, ridiculously broadband T3 mixers are now offered with complete frequency overlap on all three ports up to 18 GHz.  The T3H-18 and T3H-20 feature RF/LO coverage of .01-18/20 GHz, with matching IF coverage of .01-18 GHz.  

 Custom MMIC,  a developer of performance-driven monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs), is pleased to announce the addition of the CMD206, a new DC-50 GHz distributed low noise amplifier in die form, to their diverse and growing product line. 

 Vubiq Networks in Irvine, CA is proud to announce a fully integrated 60GHz radio transmitter module. Small and lightweight, the unit features a patented chip to waveguide transition that is compatible with WR-15 and UG-385/U waveguide flange interfaces.  

 Agilent Technologies Inc. announced its 5G test summit with Future Mobile Communication Forum explored the status of next-generation 5G wireless communication systems. The June 24 forum in Beijing focused on the challenges test and measurement manufacturers face to support this rapidly evolving technology as well as the progress of research in the field. 

 TriQuint Semiconductor, Inc., a leading RF solutions supplier and technology innovator, announced that it has reached a defense production milestone, successfully completing the Defense Production Act Title III Gallium Nitride on Silicon Carbide Production Capacity program. 

 RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support forthe TQC9305, a 0.7 to 3.6GHz Digitally controlled,Variable Gain Amplifier (DVGA) from TriQuint. The TQC9305 features a shutdown pin function for TDD applications and offers 40dBm OIP3 for linear operation.  

 M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc. (“MACOM”), a leading supplier of high performance RF, microwave, and millimeter wave products, announced a new 200 W CW power L-Band limiter that  boasts four times the power handling than the nearest competing alternative. 

 Metrigraphics, a process development and manufacturing resource for ultra-miniature passive circuits and structures, announced it has developed new breakthroughs in processing substrate-based ultra-miniaturized circuits. The additive processes used are an alternative to traditional chemical etching, which causes circuit lines to slope, resulting in performance variations and yield issues.  

A multi-million Euro contract has been awarded to Finmeccanica - Selex ES by defence and security company Saab to supply the Raven ES-05 AESA (Active Electronically Scanned Array) radar for Saab's Gripen Next Generation (NG) fighters.
