X-COM Systems LLC, a subsidiary of Bird Technologies, introduced its Mobile Measurement Vehicle (MMV), a fully-configured mobile platform that provides a diverse array of capabilities ranging from RF signal capture, storage, playback, and analysis, to spectrum monitoring, emitter direction-finding and geo-location, and on-site or mobile testing of commercial and military wireless communications, radar, and electronic warfare systems.

Coilcraft CPS (Critical Products and Services) has announced its new AE425PJB Series of low-profile power inductors that meet NASA low outgassing specifications.

Anritsu Co. announces its market-leading ME7873L RF/RRM Conformance Test System and ME7834L Mobile Device Test Platform have received the most test case validations across a single platform type for LTE-Advanced Carrier Aggregation (CA). This breakthrough further affirms Anritsu’s commitment to provide solutions for certification testing of mobile devices that implement CA, one of the key LTE-Advanced features defined in 3GPP Release 10.

AWR Corp., the innovation leader in high-frequency EDA Software, is co-hosting with CST and National Instruments a complimentary series on high-frequency design, simulation, and test workshops in Brazil and Argentina this month.

Aeroflex Ltd. announced that the TM500 Test Mobile family now provides full-stack WCDMA handset simulation capability that is scalable from testing and verifying the performance of small cells right up to multi-handset, multi-cell network capacity performance testing.

Richardson RFPD Inc. announces immediate availability and full design support of the new mXTEND™ antenna booster from Fractus S.A. (Fractus).

The Federal Communications Commission is soliciting public comments on an IEEE-USA petition asking the federal government to classify frequency spectrum above 95 GHz as “a new technology or service.”

It is always a concern at high millimeter wave band that there is not enough power to drive the mixer, especially full waveguide band. Model FDB-XX-E1 series externally biased, balanced mixers is especially developed for this purpose. The mixers are offered in four waveguide bands to cover frequency spectra from 50 to 140 GHz. These mixers employ high performance GaAs Schottky beamlead diodes and balanced configuration to produce superior performance with a very low LO pumping level.

A new AWR Customer Success Story details how North Carolina State University (NCSU) students enrolled in an advanced RF/microwave research and design course used AWR’s Microwave Office® and AXIEM® software to successfully complete their senior design project for a low-noise GPS amplifier and an X-Band power amplifier targeting the 8-10GHz frequency span.

Horizon House Publications and Microwave Journal China announced the lineup of Gold-level sponsors for next year’s Electronic Design Innovation Conference (EDI CON 2014). The Gold sponsors are Anritsu, CST, Spirent Communications, Mini-Circuits and Richardson RFPD.
