 “The RF front end modules and components market for cellphones is highly dynamic”, asserts Claire Troadec, Activity Leader, RF Devices & Technologies at Yole Développement (Yole). And she adds:” From being worth US$10.1billion last year, it is expected to reach U$22.7 billion in 2022.” Such high growth is definitely something that players in other semiconductor markets would envy: a market that will more than double in six years! However, the growth is not evenly distributed… 

Terma has been awarded the delivery of SCANTER 5502 Surface Movement Radars to the new airport in Beijing, China opening in 2019.

Pasternack launched a complete millimeter wave transmitter module for developing multi-Gbps, high speed, point-to-point wireless communication links. The PEM010 operates in the global unlicensed frequency spectrum from 57.0 to 64.8 GHz and supports the IEEE 802.11ad and 802.11aj Wi-Fi protocols for wireless networking.

GigPeak, Inc. announced a 64 GBd quad-channel linear optical modulator driver for 400G/600G coherent optical networks. The GX66471 will support 16- and 64-QAM, addressing the needs of both 400G and 600G systems. It has a differential input and single-end output, with a 4.5 V_pp output swing for driving lithium niobate Mach-Zehnder modulators.

Custom MMIC has published a free technical brief, “Addressing Your Phase Noise Challenges in Radar and Communication Systems,” illuminating key aspects of how phase noise impacts signal quality in radar and communication systems. The tech brief provides insight into product solutions that can be used in radar and communication systems that are phase noise constrained.
