Computer Simulation Technology (CST) announces the release of CST STUDIO SUITE® – Student Edition, a special free version of its flagship electromagnetic simulation package designed to help the engineers of tomorrow to get to grips with the basics of electromagnetic theory, at IMS 2015, booth #3244.

The new phase noise analyzer and VCO tester from Rohde & Schwarz enables ultrasensitive and ultra-fast phase noise measurements. The R&S FSWP also allows users to very easily measure pulsed sources and residual phase noise of RF components. Plus the instrument can be upgraded to a signal and spectrum analyzer.

 Guerrilla RF Inc., a leading provider of high performance microchips for wireless network infrastructure, announces the closing of a $2 million Series B funding round led by two angel investors. Charlotte Angel Fund, Piedmont Angel Network and a growing list of individual investors also participated. 

Radio Frequency and Electromagnetics Exchange (RFEMX) is announces its opening at IMS2015. Jean-Jacques DeLisle, MSEE, is founding RFEMX as a technical writing and media content creation organization with expertise in the RF, IoT, and EW industries. From feature articles to technical papers, RFEMX offers an engineer's expertise and a writers flare to conveying technical content with authority.

Freescale Semiconductor introduced its first gallium nitride (GaN) RF power transistor for cellular base stations. The new A2G22S160-01S delivers exceptional performance in 30 W and 40 W amplifiers for wireless infrastructure applications, and represents the first of what is planned to become a broad portfolio of Airfast family GaN transistors for the cellular market. 

 M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc., a leading supplier of high-performance analog RF, microwave and optical semiconductor products, announced the newNPA1006, a Gallium Nitride (GaN) wideband power amplifier optimized for 20-1000 MHz operation. This GaN on Silicon (Si) HEMT D-Mode Amplifier is suited for narrowband to broadband applications spanning test and measurement, defense communications, land mobile radio and wireless infrastructure. 

Crane Aerospace & Electronics, a segment of Crane Co., has announced the appointment of Mike Clark to vice president of Microwave Components & Integrated Assemblies of Crane Aerospace & Electronics.

Skyworks Solutions Inc., an innovator of high performance analog semiconductors connecting people, places and things, introduced its next generation solutions for smart energy and industrial, scientific and medical markets.

 Copper Mountain Technologies introduced a new series of high-performance vector network analyzers (VNAs) designed to efficiently handle advanced test applications at the 2015 International Microwave Symposium (IMS) in Phoenix on May 17-22. The Cobalt series, which presently features the C1220 and C1209 models, offers an unmatched price-performance combination for S-parameter measurement between 100 kHz and 20 GHz. 

 Remcom announces a new electrostatic solver for XFdtd® electromagnetic simulation software. The electrostatic solver enables the use of XFdtd’s capacitance matrix simulation, a critical feature for designing electronics with Touchscreen Panel (TSP) technology.
