Pasternack, a leading provider of RF, microwave and millimeter wave products, debuts a new line of semi-rigid test probes designed to assist in testing microwave circuits. By soldering the outer conductor to the signal ground and the exposed center conductor to the trace carrying the signal of interest, sampling measurements with these probes can be made without having to create a separate subassembly circuit board or add a connector to the circuit layout which can take up valuable real estate.

Ural Federal University students have successfully realized an RF miniaturized branch-line coupler using the NI AWR Design Environment™ platform, inclusive of Microwave Office circuit and AXIEM 3D planar electromagnetic (EM) simulators.

Keysight Technologies Inc. and National Applied Research Laboratories (NAR Labs), Taiwan, announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to establish a strategic partnership on research and development of 5G communication technologies. Both parties are committed to working together on the 5G enabling technologies as well as prototype verification and evaluations with a goal of enhancing future Taiwan wireless communication innovations.

Noisecom, a Wireless Telecom Group company, announced a new CNG-EbNo programmable precision carrier-to-noise (C/N) generator with an integrated spectrum analyzer designed for communication systems data streams that include multiple carriers in the frequency band.

SIGFOX, the world’s leading provider of global communications service for the Internet of Things (IoT), and the Irish telecoms provider VT Networks announced the nationwide availability of the SIGFOX low-power and cost-effective IoT connectivity – less than eight months after network deployment began.

MACOM Technology Solutions Inc. ("MACOM") announced the new MAAP-011161 and the MAAP-011193, two packaged linear power amplifiers designed specifically for use in point-to-point radios in cellular backhaul applications.

Boonton, a Wireless Telecom Group company, has added a new fast measurement mode to the 55 Series USB wideband power sensor adding to its industry leading 100,000 measurements per second capabilities.

Infineon Technologies and imec are cooperating to develop highly integrated CMOS-based 79 GHz sensor chips for automotive radar applications.

As the 200 mm wafer test market continues to expand, MPI Corp. is introducing a new fully automatic wafer probe system. The TS2500-RF addresses multiple production test market requirements which include radio frequency (RF) communication devices and discrete passive components.

ASELSAN, a Turkish company with 40 years experience in defense electronics, is designing and developing 94 GHz, phased array and scalable SiGe integrated circuits that will be used as transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) modules in civil radar systems.
