NXP Semiconductors N.V. announced the availability of a comprehensive Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) portfolio, which significantly expands the number of products and markets able to adopt the latest Wi-Fi standards. NXP’s expanded Wi-Fi 6 portfolio represents the company’s new end-to-end vision and differentiated technology approach that is designed to help usher in an era of connectivity innovation for automotive, access, mobile and industrial and IoT markets.

The first national security launch for the U.S. Space Force and the final satellite to build out the protected communications constellation is now connected.The sixth Lockheed Martin-built Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF-6) satellite adds increased resiliency and advanced capabilities to the AEHF-MILSTAR constellation which ensures the ability to transmit data anywhere, anytime. 

In an analysis of supply chain data and IPC survey results, Zachariah Peterson gives a measured overview of where we are at, and what might happen next.

Rohde & Schwarz has extended its portfolio for generation and analysis of 5G signal waveforms. For 5G base stations, RF test solutions for the 5G frequency ranges FR1 (450 MHz to 7.125 GHz) and FR2 up to 44 GHz will be demonstrated.

 

A room-temperature bonding technique for integrating wide bandgap materials such as GaN with thermally conducting materials such as diamond is intended to improve GaN device cooling to achieve higher output power, improved reliability and reduced manufacturing costs.

Rohde & Schwarz has developed a test solution able to perform the first tests for RF conformance in 3GPP FR2. The introduction of the new mmWave based FR2 frequency range for 5G and the increased use of active antennas without physical connectors requires testing to be performed over the air (OTA).
