Ardent Concepts Inc., a designer and manufacturer of high performance GHz connectors used in the development of semiconductor applications and systems, has expanded its TR Multicoax series with a 20 GHz version of its Multicoax product. As a cost reducing alternative to cumbersome surface mount connectors, TR 20 is a value connector that has exceptionally low loss.

Analog Devices Inc. (ADI) introduced a low power, high performance, radio transceiver for battery powered applications. The new transceiver enables more reliable wireless radio connections with fewer retries and packet losses as well as longer battery lifetime. The ADF7030-1 features a highly sensitive receiver and superior immunity to signal interference as well as low power modes, including the industry’s lowest current in sleep mode.

Mercury Systems Inc. announced it received a $2.4 million follow-on order from a leading defense prime contractor for high-performance GPS Selective Availability Anti-Spoofing Modules (SAASM) for a precision guided munitions application.

Fairview Microwave Inc., a supplier of on-demand microwave and RF components, introduces a new portfolio of flexible waveguides operating up to 40 GHz over nine popular frequency bands. These new flexible waveguides, also known as “flexguides”, are most commonly deployed as a pliable signal conduit in misaligned waveguide systems where traditional rigid waveguide sections are no longer possible to use.

COMSOL Inc. announced the latest release of the COMSOL Multiphysics® and COMSOL Server™ simulation software environment. Hundreds of user-driven features and enhancements to COMSOL Multiphysics®, COMSOL Server™ and add-on products have been implemented with an emphasis on accuracy, usability, and productivity.
