Valon Technology announced the availability of the Valon 5015 wide-range frequency synthesizer module. Designed for use in critical frequency synthesis and clocking applications, the Valon 5015 uses multiple phase-lock loops to provide high-level, low-phase noise signals throughout the 10 MHz to 15 GHz range.

Richardson RFPD  announced the availability and full design support for a new portfolio of board level shields from TE Connectivity. These new board level shields are stamped one- and two-piece metal cages that help provide isolation of board-level components, minimize crosstalk and reduce EMI susceptibility without impacting system speed.

Analog Devices Inc. (ADI) introduced a highly integrated, active antenna beamforming chip that allows designers to quickly replace bulky, mechanically-steered antenna platforms with a compact, solid-state solution for phased array radar and communications systems.

Tektronix, Inc. and IEMN, a major French research laboratory, demonstrated a single carrier wireless link traveling at a 100 Gb/s data rate. This demonstration uses advanced data coding, THz photonics and wideband and linear devices to enable ultra fast wireless connections in the 252 - 325 GHz band per the recently published IEEE 802.15.3d standard.

Setting a world record, Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (NTT) successfully demonstrated 100 Gbps wireless transmission using orbital angular momentum (OAM) multiplexing. NTT is developing the technology to enable terabit-class wireless transmission, to support the demand for wireless communications expected in the 2030s.

Pasternack has just launched a new series of coaxial surge protectors.  They are are available with 7/16 DIN, Type-N and 4.3-10 connectors and feature VSWR as low as 1.1:1, max power as high as 2 kW, multi-strike capability, low insertion loss and support a frequency range of DC to 6 GHz.
