Ampleon announced the availability of the BLCU188XRS, a 1400W, CW capable, high power extremely rugged transistor constructed in a thermally optimized air cavity ACP3 copper flanged plastic package. Able to withstand extremely load mismatches, up to a VSWR > 65:1, this Gen6 HV 50 V LDMOS device has a 30 percent better thermal resistance (R,th) compared to a traditional air cavity ceramic packaged transistor, and combined with its high efficiency, requires less stringent cooling requirements.

Barry Industries introduces an ultra-broadband, DC to 60 GHz chip termination for microwave applications. The uniquely designed TV0404FA-50R0JN-91 has been third-party tested to show a typical return loss of 18.5 dB or better over a DC to 60 GHz bandwidth.
Collaboration between Ampleon and Midea into the use of solid state technology for compact oven design has resulted in Midea launching what is believed to be the first commercially available solid state RF energy oven.
After recent successes in Italy, Canada and Singapore, the Finmeccanica Security and Information Systems Division will provide Air Traffic Management/Air Traffic Control systems in Malaysia, Saudi Arabia and Morocco.
