At a seminar in Oslo Norway’s National Communications Authority considered how to future-proof wireless infrastructures within regulations to help deliver on the promise of superfast broadband.
The SATELLITE 2017 conference, held March 6-9 in Washington, reflected the optimism of an industry chasing the promises of broadband and the IoT, fueled by the investments of wealthy entrepreneurs. To wit, Jeff Bezos, who became rich on the success of Amazon, is parlaying that success into his reusable rocket venture Blue Origin and a vision of renewed space exploration. Microwave Journal attended SATELLITE 2017 to see what role the RF/microwave industry is playing.
TowerJazz announced the availability of H5, a 300 GHz SiGe process optimized for 400 Gbps optical communications. The H5 process joins TowerJazz’s terabit platform, comprising the earlier HX, H2, H3 and H4 processes.
SAGE Millimeter has released a V-Band, dual polarized horn antenna assembly covering 50 to 75 GHz. The antenna features an integrated orthomode transducer (OMT) that provides high port isolation and cross-polarization cancellation, enabling the antenna to separate a circular or elliptical polarized waveform into two linear, orthogonal waveforms. At the center frequency, the horn antenna has 15 dBi nominal gain and a typical half-power beamwidth of 28 degrees on the E-plane and 33 degrees on the H-plane.
MaxLinear announced three new products for optical networks: a 45 GBd, linear, Mach-Zehnder modulator driver; a 32 GBd, low power, linear driver and a 45 GBd transimpedance amplifier (TIA).
Qorvo announced three 28 GBd linear drivers (single and quad-channel) and two, single channel, linear TIAs for the pulse amplitude modulation-4 (PAM4) optical networking standard. The drivers are in production, and the single channel TIAs will be available for sampling in April.
Telenor Satellite and Cobham have signed an agreement for the supply of SAILOR Ka-Band antenna systems to support the new generation THOR 7 High Throughput Satellite service.
Pasternack launched a complete millimeter wave transmitter module for developing multi-Gbps, high speed, point-to-point wireless communication links. The PEM010 operates in the global unlicensed frequency spectrum from 57.0 to 64.8 GHz and supports the IEEE 802.11ad and 802.11aj Wi-Fi protocols for wireless networking.
GigPeak, Inc. announced a 64 GBd quad-channel linear optical modulator driver for 400G/600G coherent optical networks. The GX66471 will support 16- and 64-QAM, addressing the needs of both 400G and 600G systems. It has a differential input and single-end output, with a 4.5 Vpp output swing for driving lithium niobate Mach-Zehnder modulators.
