Molex will display its innovative, diverse portfolio of RF/Microwave connectors and cable assemblies in booth 1911 at the IEEE 2016 International Microwave Symposium (IMS), held May 22–27 at The Moscone Center in San Francisco, Calif. Molex develops and delivers integrated RF/Microwave solutions for multiple industries, including aerospace and defense, automotive, medical, instrumentation, telecom and wireless.

NXP Semiconductors N.V. introduced the industry’s largest portfolio of broadband 28 V LDMOS two-stage, dual-path Doherty-optimized Integrated Circuits (ICs) for small cell base stations. As part of NXP’s leading RF power transistor portfolio, the new LDMOS ICs are designed to provide RF power, efficiency, and gain in all current and proposed frequency bands, from 700 to 3800 MHz, with RF output power of 2.5 to 12 W.

Anokiwave Inc., an innovative company providing highly integrated core IC solutions for mmW markets and AESA based terminals, announced the worldwide release of the Ka-Band Tx Core IC family for earth terminal SATCOM applications. This Tx IC family coupled with Anokiwave’s K-Band SATCOM Rx ICs provide a complete K/Ka-Band earth terminal solution enabling auto-alignment of fixed earth terminals and auto pointing for SATCOM on the move applications using GEO satellite space assets.

In booth #2129 Peregrine Semiconductor Corp., founder of RF SOI (silicon on insulator) and pioneer of advanced RF solutions, introduces the UltraCMOS® PE19601, a monolithic phase and amplitude controller (MPAC) solution for beamforming. 

Custom MMIC, a leading developer of performance driven monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs), is featuring a range of new high performance microwave amplifiers and switches with ultra wideband operation at IMS 2016 in San Francisco.

During the IMS2016 show, International Manufacturing Services (ims) will offer a peek into future trends of the RF, microwave and the electronics industries.

TE Connectivity Ltd. , a world leader in connectivity and sensors, announced its Raychem matched impedance splices for aerospace applications. Designed to comply with MIL-PRF-32517 standard, the splices solve the problem of costly removal and replacement of damaged coaxial cable by allowing fast, easy in situ repairs that maintain characteristic impedance and other electrical properties of the system.

Copper Mountain Technologies (CMT) and Farran Technology Ltd. (FTL) have worked together to create CobaltFx, an entirely new piece of technology for millimeter-wave S-parameter measurements that establishes lab quality results in a more compact and significantly more affordable solution.

Qorvo announced a family of eight power amplifiers (PA) designed for small cell base stations and distributed antenna systems (DAS) in the 3GPP bands between 1.8 and 2.4 GHz. The multi-stage PAs, which are pin compatible with ANADIGICS PAs, are in production.

Keysight Technologies Inc. announced its first PXI Express source/measurement unit, the M9111A, purpose-built for design validation and production test of next-generation power amplifiers and front-end modules supporting cellular and wireless connectivity formats.
