 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. 

 W. L. Gore & Associates Inc. (Gore) has introduced new GORE-FLIGHT™ Microwave Assemblies, 6 Series – lightweight cable solutions that deliver the lowest insertion loss before and after installation, ensuring reliable performance for the life of the system. The robust construction of these assemblies reduces total costs by withstanding the challenges of installation, reducing costly production delays, field service frequency, and the need for purchasing replacement assemblies. These lightweight assemblies improve fuel efficiency and increase payload.  

 Pulse Electronics Corp., a leading provider of electronic components, has extended its inductor product offerings with a new line of high frequency multilayer ceramic chip inductors. These RF ceramic inductors have low DC resistance, high Q values at higher frequencies, high self-resonant frequency, and high reliability. These new inductors can be used in wireless devices, broadband circuits, RFID devices, RF transceivers, modules, and medical devices.
