Taoglas®and MixComm announced a technology partnership to co-develop a mmWave 5G NR smart antenna covering 26.5 to 29.5 GHz. The mmWave antenna subsystem will support small cells, repeaters and customer-premises equipment designs.

Waveguide antenna manufacture Gapwaves and 4D digital radar start-up Uhnder announced a collaboration to develop a high resolution radar for a last mile autonomous delivery vehicle.

Qorvo has completed the acquisition of start-up company Decawave, paying more than $375 million to position itself in ultra-wideband technology (UWB).

Sivers IMA plans to begin sampling two beamformer ICs designed for the 24 and 28 GHz 5G bands. The RFICs integrate a pair of four-channel transmit and receive paths to support antenna arrays with horizontal and vertical polarization.

Today, Qorvo announced it has completed the acquisition of Custom MMIC, a privately held supplier of high performance GaAs and GaN MMICs, primarily for defense and space applications. Custom MMIC founder Paul Blount will be a director of engineering within Qorvo's infrastructure and defense segment.
