Skyworks Solutions Inc., an innovator of high reliability analog semiconductors enabling a broad range of end markets, today unveiled two new series of  high performance and low power LNAs for multiple industrial, scientific, medical (ISM) bands and next generation cellular infrastructure applications. Skyworks’ newest low noise amplifiers enable enhanced wireless receiver sensitivity, wider dynamic range and a high level of design flexibility.

RF Micro Devices, Inc., a global leader in the design and manufacture of high-performance radio frequency components and compound semiconductor technologies, announced the release of the RFHA1025, a highly-efficient 280-watt pulsed gallium nitride (GaN) RF matched power transistor. The RFHA1025 delivers superior performance versus competing silicon power technologies.

Aeroflex Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Aeroflex Holding Corp., announced that it has added IEEE 802.11ac capability to its S-Series RF signal generator and analyzer product line. First introduced in 2010, the S-Series offers top-of-the-range performance at a mid-range price.

Gowanda Electronics, a U.S.-based designer and manufacturer of precision electronic components and inductors for power, radio frequency (RF), and high frequency (HF) applications, is teaming up with its newly acquired sister company, Instec Filters, to provide a broader range of passive electronic components to the global marketplace.

Agilent Technologies Inc. announced a USB-powered, single-pole double-throw coaxial switch, operating from DC to 18 GHz. The first-to-market microwave switch driven by a USB port, the Agilent U1810B will provide system-design and manufacturing engineers a long-operating-life solution with convenient RF switching.

More than 560 companies from all over the world have come together in Montreal June 17-22 for the IEEE MTT-S 2012 International Microwave Symposium (IMS 2012). IMS 2012’s theme, “Microwaves without Borders” is evident through the diversity in the exhibiting organizations, which hail from 21 different countries. This is on par with last year’s symposium and includes the first time an exhibitor from Serbia will attend.

TriQuint Semiconductor Inc. has released two new cost-effective packaged RF power amplifiers that combine high output with high efficiency, gain and linearity. These solutions are excellent choices for use in Very Small Aperture Terminals (VSATs) and point-to-point as well as point-to-multipoint microwave applications.
