Teledyne LeCroy announces the expansion of the popular WaveStation series of function/arbitrary waveform generators to include three new models with bandwidth up to 160 MHz and 500 MS/s sample rate — over three times more bandwidth and four times more sample rate than the existing models. The new WaveStation 3000 models come with a larger 4.3” color display, intuitive front panel, two output channels, and PC waveform editing software.

RFMD, a global leader in the design and manufacture of high-performance radio frequency solutions, unveiled its first impedance tuner, the RF1105, further expanding the company's industry-leading portfolio of antenna control solutions. RFMD's programmable RF1105 functions as a tuner sub-system across all LTE frequency bands up to 2.7GHz, providing antenna feed matching over a wide frequency range.

AWR Corp. offers the second in a series of white papers addressing RF/Microwave design flow issues. This latest offering, “EDA Software Design Flow Considerations for the RF/Microwave Module Designer,” outlines the steps for implementing an integrated design flow within the Microwave Office® design suite for an MCM microwave monolithic integrated circuit (MMIC) design. 

Richardson RFPD Inc. announces that it is taking advance orders and offering full design support capabilities for a new family of 48 V gallium nitride-on-silicon (GaN-on-Si) RF power transistors from Nitronex.

Two General Dynamics C4 Systems-developed AN/PRC-155 two-channel Manpack radios successfully completed secure voice and data calls from Alaska and the Arctic Circle, using MUOS waveform.

Remtec Inc., the leading manufacturer of substrates and packages using Plated Copper on Thick Film (PCTF®) metallization, has appointed William F. Dinardo to the new position of business development manager.

Richardson RFPD Inc. announces immediate availability and full design support capabilities for a new 14-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) from Analog Devices Inc. (ADI).

The Raytheon Co. and Lockheed Martin Javelin Joint Venture received a $176 million contract for the production and delivery of 842 Block I Javelin missile rounds and 120 command launch units (CLUs). The contract was awarded to the Javelin Joint Venture in September.

Integrated Microwave Technologies LLC (IMT), a business unit within the Vitec Group’s Videocom division, and a leader in advanced digital microwave systems for MAG (military, aerospace & government) markets, is pleased to announce that Brian Rowe has been appointed business development manager for its Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) programs.

Sand 9 Inc. became the first micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) company to achieve the stringent low-noise, high-stability and harsh environmental requirements for precision timing in communications infrastructure, industrial and military applications. As the first product based on Sand 9’s patented Temperature Compensated MEMS Oscillator (TCMO™) platform – which features the industry’s highest-performance MEMS architecture – the TM651 offers system designers a better alternative to existing quartz and MEMS-based timing solutions.
