DelfMEMS announced that its twelve throw, RF-MEMS ohmic contact switch design has just passed the one billion test cycles milestone and is still going strong.

Infineon Technologies is working with Google’s Advanced Technology and Projects group (ATAP) to develop a sensing solution. Potential applications include wearables, IoT and automotive applications.

Keysight Technologies Inc. demonstrated the Advanced Design System (ADS) Electro-Thermal Simulator at the IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium (IMS) 2015, Booth 739, Phoenix, May 17-22. The solution provides accurate, temperature aware IC simulation results by using device temperatures that take into account thermal coupling and thermal characteristics of the RFIC/MMIC component packaging.

Sivers IMA and East Coast Microwave have signed a reseller and distributor agreement for the US and Canadian markets.

Low Power Radio Solutions (LPRS) is a new product sponsor in support of the Warwickshire University Satellite (WUSat) Programme in the UK.

ETL Systems has provided BAE Systems Australia with customized amplifier units.

 Integrated Device Technology Inc. (IDT®) announced that it has expanded its advanced RF silicon solutions with the addition of two new Glitch-FreeTM digital step attenuators (DSAs), as well as its first product in a new family of voltage variable attenuators (VVAs). These next-generation attenuators feature wide bandwidths, low insertion loss, high linearity, pinpoint attenuation accuracy, and a wide temperature range. Pin compatible with competitor devices, these products are designed to meet the stringent demands of wireless infrastructure, point-to-point microwave, satellite communications systems and general purpose communication infrastructure applications. 

Southwest Microwave’s SuperMini Board-to-Board DC to 67 GHz RF/millimeter wave blind-mate connectors optimize interconnect performance for board-to-board stacking applications. The compnay also released its new range of high security SMKey 3.7 mm DC to 18 GHz Keyed Coax Connectors, which provide a failsafe mating solution for critical connections between mated connector pairs.

Metrigraphics addresses market requirements for tactical, critical communications with several circuit manufacturing and process solutions. Attendees at IMS2015 in Phoenix, Ariz. saw many of these offerings firsthand at the company's booth # 3312.

Qorvo Inc., a leading provider of core technologies and RF solutions for mobile, infrastructure and aerospace/defense applications, today announced a new family of power amplifiers (PAs) offering industry-leading efficiency for small cell base station applications. Small cell solutions add capacity to mobile networks and are a key component in improving network performance.
