Orbel Corp., designer and manufacturer of custom EMI/RFI shielding, photo-etched precision metal parts, and precision metal stamping will be featuring their EMI/RFI solutions at IMS2015. Products include board level shielding, finger-stock gaskets and metalized fabric gaskets.

On 18 February 2015, Frost & Sullivan hosted a virtual panel on 5G featuring speakers from National Instruments, Alcatel-Lucent, and NYU Wireless, which are among the leading companies and research institutions at the forefront of 5G technologies working to move forward the 5G agenda. A number of companies and academic institutions notably in Europe and Asia but also in America are making significant R&D efforts on 5G technologies aiming to make it a reality by 2020. This article highlights the key points regarding technology issues brought to bear during the panel discussion. 

Teseq introduces an eight-channel arbitrary waveform generator for automotive testing. The ARB 5500 fits inside the transient generator and features memory for over 64,000 standard waveform segments as well as 1 GB of Clone memory for user-defined shapes. This is enough memory for several thousand hours of simulations.

Keysight Technologies Inc. introduced continuous simultaneous acquisition and readout (CSR) for its U5303A 12-bit PCIe digitizer. In addition, complete data recording software applications are available, such as digitizer streaming (application option CB0) and digital down-converter streaming (application option CB1).

Qorvo is adding new high-speed products for long haul, metro, and data center applications to deliver new multi-channel and low power consumption options that reduce cost, enable market leading channel to channel isolation while shrinking product form factor, and maximize integration and signal fidelity for network equipment manufacturers.

Morgan Advanced Materials, a leading manufacturer of electro ceramic products, including piezoelectric ceramics, high voltage and RF capacitors and microwave ceramics, announces the launch of a new range of piezoelectric composite components, ideal for applications where high performance is critical, including medical imaging, doppler flow, and military and commercial sonar.

The DLI brand of Knowles Capacitors will be launching an increased range to their ‘UX’ Ultra-High K Dielectric at the MTT-S IMS 2015 show on Booth 129.

Linear Technology’s SmartMesh IP™ wireless sensor networking products now provide the ability to program industrial Internet of Things (IoT) applications directly on the embedded ARM Cortex-M3, running Micrium’s µC/OS-II real-time operating system. 

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has awarded Raytheon Co. two contract modifications totaling a combined $5 million in support of the Arrays at Commercial Timescales (ACT) program. ACT is focused on developing technology that enables rapidly upgradable and widely deployable radar array architectures. The awards are the result of a competitive down select process after which DARPA chose Raytheon for the next phase of both programs.

X-COM Systems LLC, a subsidiary of Bird Technologies, introduced the IQC5000B RF record and playback system designed for applications such as electronic warfare, interference analysis, surveillance, and spectrum monitoring and management. In the industry’s smallest form factor, the IQC5000B has the widest instantaneous bandwidth, 4 Tbytes of removable, high-speed solid-state data storage, and other features tailored for the most demanding applications.
