Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) introduced a 28 nm digital-to-analog converter (DAC) as part of a series of high speed DACs. The AD9172 meets the demands of gigahertz bandwidth applications and delivers the increased spectral efficiency needed for 4G / 5G multi-band wireless communications base stations and 2 GHz E-Band microwave point-to-point backhaul radios. Its design benefits production instrumentation targeting multi-standard direct-to-RF signal synthesis and provides a solution for defense electronics requiring greater detection range. 

Microlease has been appointed as an Authorized Distributor GW Instek, initially covering the UK, Ireland and Italy.

u-blox has achieved certification of its SARA-R404M module for Verizon’s nationwide Category M1 LTE network, which will support industrial Internet of Things applications.

BAE Systems has been selected by the U.S. Army to research and develop hardware and software solutions for the design of next-generation space and missile defense technologies.

Rogers Corporation has introduced Kappa™ 438 laminates, glass reinforced thermoset laminates that were developed for wireless circuit designers looking for a better performing and more reliable alternative to FR-4 laminates. Kappa 438 laminates have a low Z axis CTE and High Tg for improved design flexibility, PTH reliability and automated assembly compatibility, and can be fabricated using standard epoxy/glass (FR-4) processes.

The SAM R30 System in Package (SiP), a single-chip RF microcontroller (MCU), is now available from Microchip Technology Inc.
