Skyworks announced the launch of the SKY66113-11, the company's newest 2.4 GHz fully-integrated RF front-end module (FEM) supporting Bluetooth® Low Energy/Bluetooth® Smart, 802.15.4, Thread and ZigBee® applications.

Mitsubishi Electric US, Inc. will present a hands-on mini lab showcasing its high efficiency, wideband GaN Doherty Amplifier in Booth #1827 at the International Microwave Symposium.

Texas Instruments (TI) has introduced single chip, CMOS, 76 to 81 GHz sensors for automotive and industrial applications. The AWR1x automotive and IWR1x industrial families comprise three different options for automotive and two for industrial. Each chip has a range up to 300 m, a sensing resolution less than 4 cm and range accuracy less than 50 µm.

Skyworks has launched a 0.4 to 5.9 GHz, low loss, DPDT switch designed for smartphones, data cards and MiFi® hotspots. According to Skyworks, the SKY13698-694LF has the lowest insertion loss of any high isolation antenna swap switch currently available.

Integrated Device Technology, Inc. (IDT) introduced the IDT® F2480 analog variable gain amplifier (AVGA), the first in a family of high performance devices for a broad set of communications equipment.

Skyworks Solutions, Inc. released its 2016 Sustainability Report, a voluntary public document that provides a comprehensive self-assessment of the company’s commitment to sustainable business practices.

Richardson RFPD, Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for two new UltraCMOS® RF silicon-on-insulator (SOI) switches from Peregrine Semiconductor Corporation.

Keysight GoldenGate is the best-in-class RFIC simulation tool inside the Cadence Virtuoso design environment. For many years, RF designers have relied on GoldenGate to solve their challenging problems and have benefited from its robust simulation convergence and fast simulation capabilities to fully characterize their transceiver designs prior to tape-out.
