At the recent IBC exhibition in Amsterdam, MaxLinear, Inc. demonstrated its proprietary echo cancellation technology for full duplex (FDX) DOCSIS. The combination of FDX and DOCSIS 3.1 will enable cable operators to offer up to 10 Gbps data rates over existing hybrid fiber-coaxial networks.

IDT is sampling millimeter wave beamformer ICs developed for 5G phased arrays. The first two products are half duplex transmitter/receiver ICs covering 25 to 31 GHz and 37 to 41 GHz.

MaxLinear Inc. announced a technology to transfer up to 2.5 Gbps wirelessly through typical building materials. The wireless scheme avoids drilling holes and running cables through external walls.

Anokiwave, Inc. has completed a Series C funding round led by a new investor, Gefinor Capital with US Boston Capital Corporation and its affiliate Pear Tree Partners. The funding will support the development of silicon-based RFICs for 5G, satellite communications and aerospace and defense markets.

Movandi, a venture-backed startup with a mission to revolutionize millimeter wave networks announced BeamX technology, a scalable RF front-end system solution. The high performance of Movandi’s RFIC, phased array antenna and beamforming techniques enable the next generation of 5G and multi-gigabit connectivity that will drive new applications.

Taoglas launched a series of small ultra wideband (UWB) antennas designed to enable centimeter-level positioning and angle-of-arrival applications, including asset tracking, follow-me drones, healthcare monitoring, smart home services and other applications that demand high performance indoor localization capabilities.

Skyworks has introduced the SKY66403-11, a 2.4 GHz fully-integrated RF front-end module designed to support ZigBee^®, Thread and next-generation Bluetooth^® wireless protocols, including Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE).

Analog Devices, Inc., which recently acquired Linear Technology Corporation, announces the LTC5552, a double balanced mixer that features wideband matching from 3 to 20 GHz.
