M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc. (“MACOM”), a leading supplier of high performance RF, microwave, and millimeter wave products, announced that its wafer fabrication facility in Lowell, Massachusetts, has been accredited by the Department of Defense (DoD) as a Category 1A Trusted Foundry. This DoD accreditation distinguishes MACOM as a trusted manufacturer of integrated circuits (ICs) for classified and unclassified U.S. military and aerospace applications.

TriQuint Semiconductor Inc., a leading RF solutions supplier and technology innovator, is showcasing its new, high performance technologies at the IEEE International Microwave Symposium / Microwave Theory and Techniques exhibition June 3-5, 2014 in Tampa, Florida.

Agilent Technologies Inc., announces the Agilent HDMI 2.0 6G test solution has been selected by Simplay Labs after the HDMI Forum certified it as an official compliance test tool.

Computer Simulation Technology (CST) announces new features to automate workflows for field source coupling and multiphysics simulation using its System Assembly and Modeling (SAM) framework at MTT-S IMS, booth # 1423.

Measurement technology is constantly evolving, in part because of its close ties with software and computer control. One of the more significant enhancements to RF/microwave test equipment in recent years has been the growing availability of key measurement functions in the form of easy-to-use Universal Serial Bus (USB) modules. With each new USB test module, RF/microwave engineers receive another option for assembling an automated measurement system that can be controlled fully under USB control.

General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc. and Rohde & Schwarz announced that they have signed a Teaming Agreement to integrate and flight demonstrate Rohde & Schwarz's air traffic control radios on the Predator® B/MQ-9 Reaper® RPA.

Cuming Microwave announced a new microwave absorber for use in cavity resonance suppression between 800 MHz – 18 GHz. C-RAM™ RGD-S-192 is a thin, flexible, highly magnetically loaded silicone absorber used in applications where performance cannot be traded for a thicker material. C-RAM™ RGD-S-192 is standard at 0.040’’ (1.01 mm) thick and is ideal for suppressing waves within cavities of microwave modules and other electronics where physical space is limited.

Guerrilla RF, Inc., a leading provider of high performance MMICs, is pleased to announce the introduction of our family of 5GHz low noise amplifiers. The GRF25xx family is a series of ultra-low noise amplifiers (LNAs) designed for IEEE 802.11a/n/ac applications in the 5GHz band (4.9GHz to 5.95GHz). These devices exhibit best-in-class noise figures (NFs) as low as 0.6 dB across the band, along with excellent gain and high linearity. Furthermore, they can be biased with Vdd from 2.7 to 5.0 volts with adjustable current to suit linearity requirements.

Crane Aerospace & Electronics Microwave Solution launches the new ku-band 4-way Iso-Divider designed for use in satellite applications. This unit represents a further expansion of the products available in this product line. The Iso-Divider combines the functions of high performance power dividers with ferrite isolators to provide a high isolation power divider solution, making the external isolators redundant, for satellite receiver applications, without introducing complex switch-based solutions.

Pasternack Enterprises, Inc., an industry leading manufacturer and supplier of RF, microwave and millimeter wave products, releases a new family of high frequency, WR-15 waveguide antennas, which are perfectly designed for high-bandwidth applications including point-to-point links, GigE wireless LAN, millimeter radiometry, uncompressed HD video, FMCW radar, millimeter scintillometry, campus networks and multi-gigabit wireless communications.
