MTT-S IMS

RSS

Continuing to build momentum and recognition for their “Size Matters” HPA platforms, Empower RF Systems is hosting live demonstrations of their 1 kW, 20 to 1000 MHz, 5U chassis design (model 2162) at IMS 2013, Booth 1827. 

Mesuro launches a new test solution that provides the industry substantial benefits in approaches to device characterization test. The new offering utilizes an ‘envelope load pull technique’, along with the latest generation of commercial off-the-shelf PXI hardware and LabVIEW system design software from National Instruments, to provide extremely rapid test scenarios to be run on the device under test.

What: M/A-COM Technology Solutions (MACOM) will showcase a broad portfolio of new products for aerospace and defense, wireless backhaul, CATV, and optical communications applications in booth #930 at the IEEE MTT International Microwave Symposium (IMS) tradeshow in Seattle, Washington, June 4-6, 2013.

Microwave Development Labs Inc. has launched its newly redesigned website, adding new features and social media channels, and incorporating comprehensive search capability. The re-launched site is at http://mdllab.com.

Isola Group S.a.r.l., a market leader in copper-clad laminates and dielectric prepreg materials, will exhibit at the upcoming International Microwave Symposium (IMS) 2013 to be held in conjunction with the IEEE Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits (RFIC) Symposium, and the ARFTG Microwave Measurement Conference. The exhibition takes place June 4-7, 2013 at the Washington State Convention Center located at 800 Convention Place in Seattle.

Tahoe RF Semiconductor is announcing a new, innovative, phased array technology called BeamDirect™, for both commercial and military applications. BeamDirect improves the bandwidth and sensitivity of phased array radio systems and enables extremely fine beam steering angle resolutions.

With IMS 2013 less than one week away, I know everyone here at Microwave Journal is gearing up and ready to go. It is one show (aside from European Microwave Week and Electronic Design Innovation – EDI CON) where a majority of our staff attends the show and you can feel the excitement as we look forward to connecting with much of the industry all in one venue. The IEEE MTT-S IMS is the premier annual international meeting for technologists involved in all aspects of microwave theory and practice. It consists of a full week of events, including technical paper presentations, workshops, and tutorials, as well as a full set of social events. One of those social events is the Women in Microwaves (WIM) Reception.

Agilent Technologies Inc. introduced the latest addition to its repeater model library for quickly and accurately solving the challenge posed by signal distortion in the multigigabit-per-second regime.

Texas Instruments Inc. (TI) introduced the industry’s fastest 4-channel, 14-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC), clocking in at 250 MSPS. The high-density ADS4449 enables receiver systems to support up to 125 MHz of instantaneous bandwidth in extremely small forms, such as multiple input and multiple output (MIMO) base stations and munitions guidance, or in greater density applications, such as active electrically scanned array (AESA) and other phased-array radars.

Analog Devices Inc. (ADI) introduced four new RF amplifier gain blocks which ease the design of high dynamic range communications, defense and instrumentation systems.
