TE Connectivity Ltd. , a world leader in connectivity and sensors, announced its Raychem matched impedance splices for aerospace applications. Designed to comply with MIL-PRF-32517 standard, the splices solve the problem of costly removal and replacement of damaged coaxial cable by allowing fast, easy in situ repairs that maintain characteristic impedance and other electrical properties of the system.

Copper Mountain Technologies (CMT) and Farran Technology Ltd. (FTL) have worked together to create CobaltFx, an entirely new piece of technology for millimeter-wave S-parameter measurements that establishes lab quality results in a more compact and significantly more affordable solution.

Qorvo announced a family of eight power amplifiers (PA) designed for small cell base stations and distributed antenna systems (DAS) in the 3GPP bands between 1.8 and 2.4 GHz. The multi-stage PAs, which are pin compatible with ANADIGICS PAs, are in production.

Keysight Technologies Inc. announced its first PXI Express source/measurement unit, the M9111A, purpose-built for design validation and production test of next-generation power amplifiers and front-end modules supporting cellular and wireless connectivity formats.

MACOM Technology Solutions Inc. (“MACOM”), a leading supplier of high-performance analog RF, microwave, millimeterwave and photonic semiconductor products, announced the newest entries in its MAGb series of GaN on Silicon power transistors for use in macro wireless base stations.

COMSOL, the leading provider of multiphysics modeling, simulation, and application design software, has announced support for app development that furthers work toward 5G and the IoT.

Skyworks Solutions Inc., an innovator of high performance analog semiconductors connecting people, places and things, introduced a suite of high performance amplifiers specifically addressing the rapidly growing small cell infrastructure market. 

Diamond Microwave, a specialist in high performance microwave power amplifiers, has announced the launch of a new range of X-band GaN-based pulsed solid-state power amplifiers (SSPA) offering integrated monitoring and protection.

AWR Connected™ for ANSYS now offers an integrated two-way link between ANSYS® HFSS™ and NI AWR Design Environment™, specifically Microwave Office circuit design software, enabling RF/microwave designers to seamlessly tie HFSS extracted S-parameters back into NI AWR software. This integration unites two industry-standard design tools, HFSS full-wave electromagnetic (EM) field simulation and Microwave Office, to quickly and accurately simulate microwave circuits.

IEEE's Interactive Mars Exploration Vehicle (MEV) experience will send attendees on mission to Mars at the IEEE MTT-S 2016 International Microwave Symposium (IMS) beginning Tuesday, May 24 at the Moscone Center South. As part of the symposium's Wireless Wonders Pavilion, attendees can visit booth #1800 and pilot the Mars Exploration Vehicle in an interactive virtual reality game.
