Anritsu Company introduces the Signal Analyzer MS2850A that can cost efficiently and accurately evaluate 5G signals with the 800 MHz modulation bandwidth (8 x 100 MHz channels) associated with 5G designs. With analysis bandwidth up to 1 GHz, excellent dynamic range and high flatness performance, the MS2850A provides wireless equipment manufacturers and mobile operators with a comprehensive and affordable tool.

The U.S. Commerce Department’s NIST awarded $2.3 million over three years to the NYU WIRELESS research center at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering, which will work with Italy’s University of Padova (UNIPD), the Austin Fire Department and NYU WIRELESS industrial affiliates to create a research platform for public safety communications.

RF Industries Ltd announced that it has appointed Gerald T. Garland to its Board of Directors.

Antenova Ltd is shipping a new 2.4 GHz antenna, Zenon, the first in the company’s new REFLECTOR series. This new family of antennas have been engineered to operate without de-tuning on metal surfaces–or where the product housing is mainly metal–a situation where it is normally extremely difficult for an antenna to operate.

Analog Devices released a GaN power amplifier (PA) that provides 35 W with 20 dB power gain and up to 44 percent power-added efficiency (PAE) from 300 MHz to 6 GHz.

IMS2017 returned to Honolulu, Hawaii after visiting 10 years ago. Microwave Journal's editors compiled this summary of the themes, as well as the products and services by the long list of companies we were able to visit.

At IMS2017, Skyworks Solutions, Inc. expanded its small cell portfolio with the announcement of a high efficiency power amplifier (PA) supporting the unlicensed spectrum for license assisted access (LAA) and LTE unlicensed (LTE-U). LAA and LTE-U are capabilities enabled in LTE-Advanced that allow cellular systems to tap the 5 GHz Wi-Fi spectrum to increase data capacity.
