Sonnet Software Inc. announces a new product, Blink™, which is an easy-to-use EDA environment for the analysis of on chip passive devices such as spiral inductors and MIM capacitors.

MACOM introduced its series of GaN in Plastic packaged power transistors for high-performance civilian and military radar and communications systems. They scale to peak pulse power levels of 100 W – the highest among competing components in this product category.

Peregrine Semiconductor Corp., a fabless provider of high-performance radio frequency integrated circuits (RFICs), released four new DuNE™ Digitally Tunable Capacitors (DTCs), creating the industry’s broadest integrated RF tuning IC portfolio. The PE64906, PE64907, PE64908, and PE64909 DTCs feature a wide capacitance range of 0.6 – 7.7 pF and support power handling up to 34 dBm into 50 Ohms (30 Vpk RF).

Harris Communications, the nation’s leader in the creation, design and installation of enhanced wireless networks, cell phone repeaters,bi directional amplifier and bi directional antenna technology, announces the launch of their latest line of products that comply with the new changes that have been implemented by the FCC with new rules for cell phone boosters, giving booster makers an absolute advantage after years of debate over the issue. The FCC has also managed to get the nation's wireless carriers to all agree to the new changes in the rules.

AWT Global’s new ATC series low PIM anechoic chambers are designed for measuring antennas from 700 to 6000 MHz. Besides the high shielding coefficient of more than 90 dB, ATC series antenna test chambers generate lowest residual passive intermodulation (PIM). The combination of chamber geometry, specifically designed pyramidal electromagnetic absorbing material and innovative manufacturing techniques result in remarkable characteristics.
