Watch Episode 3 (December 2013) of the bi-weekly industry update video series Frequency Matters, as the editors from Microwave Journal cover the latest news, events and technical content.

Exelis has received a contract valued at more than $8 million to provide transportable, precision ground control approach capabilities to the Estonian armed forces. The GCA-2020 radar system will enable Estonia Ämari Air base, one of NATO's most modern bases, to support NATO exercises, contingencies and humanitarian efforts.

AVX Corp., a leading manufacturer of advanced passive components and interconnect solutions, has expanded its range of high reliability C0G (NP0) dielectric multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs). Available in case sizes spanning 01005 to 2225, voltages up to 500 V, and capacitance tolerances as low as ±0.1 pF, AVX’s C0G (NP0) MLCCs provide one of the most stable capacitor dielectrics available in today’s market, making them ideal for resonant circuit applications requiring superior stability or a precise temperature coefficient, such as: matching circuits, handheld devices, and GPS, among others.

Delcross Technologies announced the first commercial release of Signa, a software toolkit for advanced radar signature analysis. Signa delivers efficient EM simulation of complex radar cross sections (RCS) for targets that are tens to thousands of wavelengths in size. 

Crystek's CVCO55CC-2380-2380 VCO (voltage controlled oscillator) operates at 2380 MHz with a control voltage range of 0.3 ~ 4.7 V. This VCO features a typical phase noise of -119 dBc/Hz @ 10 KHz offset and has excellent linearity. Output power is typically +2.5 dBm.

Design Techniques for Controlling Radiated Emissions has been considered by Donald Sweeney to be the ideal textbook for his EMC By Your Design Seminars ever since 1992, when it was first published. He is now excited to announce he will be using Michel Mardiguian’s new 3rd Edition in his April 8-10, 2014 seminar.

Computer Simulation Technology (CST), Darmstadt, announces winners of the CST University Publication Award 2013, an annual grant to university institutes and researchers for published papers related to 3D electromagnetic field simulation applications.

Linear Technology introduces new high reliability H grade and military MP grade versions of the LTC3615 and LTC3615-1, high efficiency, 4 MHz synchronous buck regulators that incorporate a constant frequency, current-mode architecture. Low resistance internal switches enable the LTC3615 to deliver up to 3 A of continuous output current from each channel.

Schleuniger Inc.'s SemiRigid 1050 is a highly specialized machine for stripping aluminum or copper jacketed semi-rigid coaxial cable. It can process cables with outer diameters ranging from 0.86 mm (.034”) to 4.5 mm (.177”). The machine can be programmed to perform the following operations:
