On April 1, the Joint Program Executive Office, Joint Tactical Radio System (JPEO JTRS) of the Department of Defense announced a contract award to Scalable Network Technologies Inc. (SNT), Los Angeles, CA. The $11 M contract is for a product called JNE (JTRS Network Emulator) to be used by...

Endwave Corp. will be showcasing several new products at IMS 2011 in Baltimore. Endwave has added a pair of integrated frequency upconverters to its line of high performance GaAs monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) products. The models EWU1509YF and EWU1809YF frequency upconverters operate over intermediate-frequency (IF) ranges of DC...

TRM Microwave has announced the addition of Bill Dolloff, who will serve as the company's dedicated Boeing Program Manager. He brings extensive experience in implementing quality systems, customer support and aftermarket sales in commercial aviation products, along with government contract administration. Dolloff will play a strategic role in supporting...

Optoelectronic integrated circuits (OEIC) have attracted the interest of many researchers because of their important role in the hardware for information technology. The optical receivers have key roles in high-speed optical fiber communications, in high-speed chip-to-chip interconnections in computers, efficient networking between computers and in other diverse areas such...

TiaLinx Inc. announced the launch of the Phoenix50-H. The quad coaxial mini-copter system is capable of performing multiple functions such as detecting movement or breathing of a hiding person in a compound from a sloped roof. The mini-copter can be remotely controlled at extended standoff distances of more than...

Stop by Booth #3915 at IMS 2011 in Baltimore to see a few examples of Reactel Inc.'s miniature discrete component filters in lowpass, highpass, bandpass, notch and diplexer configurations operating in a frequency range of 10 to 5000 MHz. These extremely small packages are perfect for mobile or man-pack...

The development of coaxial microwave components capable of handling high peak power without the presence of multipactor is an important part of component design for space and vacuum environments. Multipactor is a resonance type of discharge that can occur under vacuum conditions. 1 The electric component of the electromagnetic...

Understanding device behavior under desired operating conditions is a critical step in the design of any high performance active RF device (e.g., an amplifier or converter). If the component operates in continuous-wave (CW) mode, that characterization can be as simple as measuring its S-parameters using a vector network analyzer...

Advanced Design System (ADS) 2011 from Agilent Technologies represents the most significant release of the ADS product in over a decade. With improvements to virtually all areas of the platform, it offers something for anyone doing RF/microwave design, whether of a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC), module or printed...

The new R&S ZNB family of network analyzers stands out due to its wide dynamic range of up to 140 dB (at 10 Hz IF bandwidth), its low trace noise of 0.004 dB (rms) (at 10 kHz IF bandwidth) and its high output power of up to +13 dBm...
