NI has announced its support for CERN’s Beamline for Schools 2016 competition, which is run by the CERN & Society Foundation.

STMicroelectronics is now supplying its latest long-range (77 GHz) radar chips to leading automotive customers.

The Communications Authority of Kenya commissioned its new spectrum management and monitoring system (SMMS) from Rohde & Schwarz in March 2016. The solution includes both mobile and stationary components, which will be implemented across the country to regulate the frequency spectrum.

Products from Syfer Technology, a brand of Knowles, will now be available globally from Minnesota based, Digi-Key Electronics. Digi-Key are a worldwide full-service provider of both design and production quantities of electronic components from a range of quality name-brand manufacturers.

Coupling Wave Solutions S.A. (CWS), a leader in solutions for interference analysis in complex chip designs incorporating RF and analog blocks, announced the availability of a new productivity tool called SiPEX. SiPEX models the silicon substrate on insulators much faster than any other tools in its class and allows radio frequency (RF) silicon-on-insulator (SOI) designers to increase the number of design iterations—including spice simulation—up to 10 times in the same time frame.

Comtech Telecommunications Corp. announced that its Santa Clara, Calif.-based subsidiary, Comtech Xicom Technology Inc., has received a Ka-Band high-power amplifier contract for $1.3 million from a leading satellite communications (SATCOM) direct-to-home (DTH) television service provider.

Rogers Corp.’s Power Electronics Solutions (PES) group has introduced its latest high-performance cooling material, curamik® CoolPerformance Plus. curamik CoolPerformance Plus is an advanced liquid-cooled material designed to dissipate large amounts of heat and provide reliable thermal management of high-power laser diodes and other heat-generating optical devices.

Cobham and RFHIC will jointly develop GaN High Power Amplifier (HPA) modules that will be integrated into a prototype 175 kW solid-state transmitter. Development activities under this Memorandum of Agreement will be executed by Cobham Integrated Electronics Solutions, a business unit of CAES at its Exeter, N.H. site.
