It's been a busy month as the editorial staff wraps up our annual May MTT-S IMS Show Issue. I'm happy to report that the magazine is now at the printer and it is one of our finest show issues ever. Thanks to you, our ad sales were strong, which...

In-Building Wireless (IBW) systems are showing solid adoption rates and, according to the latest forecasts from ABI Research, should register almost $10 B worth of deployments next year. Corporate campuses, airports and railway stations, and retail shopping centers (in that order) are the leading verticals where the need for...

LTE is starting to gain critical momentum as we move through the second quarter of 2011. Currently 12 countries have commercial LTE services, and according to ABI Research VP of Forecasting Jake Saunders, “ABI Research projects that by the end of the year there will be some 16 million...

Agilent Technologies Inc. announced the release of SystemVue 2011.03, a leading system-level communications design environment. With this release, SystemVue now enables wireless system architects and system-on-chip designers to validate multiband, high-transistor-count wireless IC designs accurately against the latest communications standards. Until now, wireless communications architects have lacked the accurate...

Linear Technology Corp. announces a new high reliability (MP-grade) version of the LT3511, a high voltage isolated monolithic flyback regulator that operates over a -55° to 150°C junction temperature range. This device simplifies the design of an isolated DC/DC converter since it needs no optocoupler, third winding or signal...

INTEGRATED Engineering Software , developer of hybrid simulation tools for electromagnetic, thermal and structural design analysis, releases CHRONOS, its new time domain solver and high frequency tool for modeling and simulating 3D RF and microwave applications. The software has been introduced to address the challenge of the modeling and...
