Agilent Technologies Inc. announced that its ongoing collaboration with Thales, a global technology leader for the defense and security and the aerospace and transport markets, has expanded the reach of X-parameters technology to wideband super-heterodyne receiver applications

M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc. (M/A-COM Tech), a leading supplier of high performance analog semiconductor solutions, announced its new E-Commerce functionality at the International Microwave Symposium Trade Show (IMS/MTT-S) in Montreal, Canada.

TriQuint Semiconductor Inc. is announcing initial sample availability of two packaged, surface-mount low-noise amplifiers (LNAs) that deliver the lowest noise figure of any integrated, packaged solutions for base station and similar applications.

Custom MMIC (www.CustomMMIC.com), a developer of performance driven monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs), introduced three new devices from its growing MMIC IP/design library. CMD162 is a GaAs MMIC low-noise amplifier (LNA) chip for applications from 26 to 34 GHz. Optimized for 30 GHz satellite communications, the CMD162 boasts a typical noise figure of 1.7 dB with a small-signal gain of 22 dB and an output 1 dB compression point of +7 dB.

NuWaves Engineering of Middletown, Ohio, an international (RF) solutions company, will be unveiling three miniature, high-performance RF products at IEEE’s 2012 International Microwave Symposium (IMS) including the company’s first broadband low noise amplifier covering C band to X band, and two different sub-2 cubic inch solid state power amplifiers covering VHF through S band.

Global revenue for carrier Wi-Fi access points and controllers will reach $2.2 billion in 2017 to reach a level equivalent to almost one-half of the traditional enterprise or consumer/SoHo Wi-Fi segments in the same period.

Peregrine Semiconductor Corp. (Peregrine) announced from booth # 2009 at the International Microwave Symposium (IMS2012) in Montreal, the SP3T PE42430 RF switch. Developed on Peregrine’s patented UltraCMOS® technology, the PE42430 switch combines low insertion loss with high linearity, high isolation, and small package size, making it well suited for WLAN and Bluetooth® applications in the 2.4 GHz band, as well as general broadband switching applications.

Computer Simulation Technology AG (CST) and Nuhertz Technologies LLC® (Nuhertz) present a new integrated filter design flow at MTT-S IMS 2012.

The Rohde & Schwarz R&S FSW-K6 pulse measurement option for the R&S FSW series of high-performance signal and spectrum analyzers is an excellent choice for evaluating the performance of radar systems and all other applications that employ pulsed signals. When coupled with the MultiView capabilities of the R&S FSW series, multiple spectrum analyzer measurements can be run, viewed, and updated on a single screen giving the user a complete overview of system performance.

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.
