Keysight Technologies Inc. announced new enhancements to the E7515A UXM wireless test set to address leading-edgeLTE-A carrier aggregation (CA) test requirements. New capabilities include support for downlink 4CC1, 256 QAM, and LTE-U with up to three unlicensed carriers, as well as FDD-TDD mixed CA and uplink intra- and inter-band CA measurements.

Anokiwave Inc., an innovator and leading supplier of semiconductors enabling mmW and AESA markets, announced the completion of a Series B round of funding. The round was led by Mr. JP Carney, CEO and co-founder of Revolabs, Dr. Lamberto Raffaelli, and COM DEV International Ltd. Anokiwave will use the funds to continue to expand its engineering team, launch development laboratory facilities and expand rapidly innovative products for mmW 5G and complementary markets.

 M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc., a leading supplier of high-performance analog RF, microwave and optical semiconductor products, announced the newNPT2022, a wideband transistor optimized for DC-2 GHz operation and built using a proprietary Gallium Nitride (GaN) on Silicon (Si) process. 

Richardson RFPD Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for a new LDMOS integrated power amplifier from Freescale.

NI (formerly AWR Corp.) announces AWR Connected™ for DWT, a new NI AWR Design Environment™ flow that enables integration with Design Workshop Technologies’ (DWT) design-rule checking (DRC) and/or layout vs. schematic (LVS) tools for printed circuit board (PCB) and module design.  The new AWR Connected for DWT DRC and LVS flow can run in one of two ways: in the full view/DWT user-interface (UI) mode or transparently from within the Microwave Office UI. 

 Zentech Manufacturing Inc. is pleased to announce the acquisition of Colonial Assembly & Design, LLC.  

 Antenova Ltd, manufacturer of antennas and RF antenna modules for M2M, is announcing the Weii, a new miniature ceramic antenna for all 2.4GHz, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Zigbee and ISM applications. 

W. L. Gore & Associates (Gore) will be featuring its GORE® Microwave/RF Test Assemblies as well as the new Cable Installation Simulator at the International Microwave Symposium, May 19-21 in Phoenix, Ariz., Booth 1042.

Anritsu Co. expands its ShockLine™ family of affordable vector network analyzers (VNAs) with the introduction of the Performance ShockLine MS46500B series.

 Remcom announces a new circuit element optimizer for XFdtd® electromagnetic simulations software that optimizes matching circuits for several antennas serving multiple bands simultaneously. XFdtd’s Circuit Element Optimizer determines lumped element values based on the following goals: radiation efficiency, system efficiency, and S-parameters. This simplifies the antenna matching workflow because the circuit elements remain in the electromagnetic layout structure during optimization.
