Lockheed Martin has selected a Qorvo S-Band GaN on SiC power amplifier (PA) for the transmitter of the U.S. Army’s AN/TPQ-53 radar. The GaN PA replaces the first-generation GaAs MMIC, delivering more than twice the saturated output power with a 15 point improvement in power-added efficiency.
Fabless MMIC start-up Altum RF has expanded its office in Sydney, adding an RF test lab with full ESD safeguards and able to characterize devices to 65 GHz.
Qualcomm Technologies has announced an antenna module designed for the customer premise equipment (CPE) used in fixed wireless access (FWA) services, extending its portfolio of mmWave modules for 5G. Compared to Qualcomm’s earlier antenna modules designed for handsets, the QTM527 meets the specification for class 1 equipment, extending the range of the CPE.
Peraso Technologies announced the launch of the X720 pre 802.11ay WiGig® chipset for fixed wireless access and small cell backhaul applications. The chipset's high output power increases link range.
James Klein, president of Qorvo’s Infrastructure and Defense Products (IDP) business segment, received the 2019 Corporate Company CEO award from the Technology Association of North Texas.
StratEdge Corp. is expanding and its facilities and capabilities for packaging RF/microwave devices, covering the gamut of packaging capabilities, from manual to fully automatic, first article prototypes to hundreds of thousands of modules, DC to above 63 GHz.
During the recent earnings call, MACOM’s new CEO, Steve Daly, outlined the path to restore profitability. It appears the direction is the same, at a lower run rate while accelerating the development of "compelling" products.
The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) added 46 additional Huawei affiliates to the “entity list” today, meaning exporting products from the U.S. to any of these organizations and individuals requires an export license — with BIS warning the going-in presumption is that any license application will be denied. BIS also extended the temporary license provision by 90 days, allowing companies and consumers using Huawei equipment to find other options.
For smartphones and tablets, Skyworks Solutions has introduced an integrated front-end module for the 5 GHz Wi-Fi and licensed assisted access (LAA) protocols. The SKY855774-11 integrates a PA with a coupler at the output, an LNA that can be bypassed and a SPDT transmit/receive switch.
Transphorm announced that the U.S. Office of Naval Research (ONR) has exercised a three-year $15.9 million option to establish the company as a dedicated U.S. production source of GaN epiwafers for RF/mmWave and power electronics used in DoD and commercial applications.
