The tally of wireless operators committed to deploying LTE (Long Term Evolution) networks and offering LTE-based services to their subscribers in 2010 has climbed to at least 12, according to a major new study from ABI Research . By the following year nearly 34 million users worldwide are forecast...

As we referred to "Please Come to Boston in the Springtime" as our pre-show theme song, we are making "Rock Lobster" by the B-52s our post-show theme song. IMS2009 probably faced some of the biggest challenges in its history--a big economic downturn and the swine flu virus, for example--but...

Voltage-controlled Oscillator The RP-148258-01 model is designed to meet the stringent performance requirements of the aerospace industry. This model is compliant with MIL-PRF-38534 specification essential to high reliability, military and space applications. The operating frequency range is 1420 to 2500 MHz with an operating temperature range of -40° to...

Right Angle Adapters The UG-27 C/U is a right angle adapter that features solderless construction. The solder-free construction offers dependability equal to a straight plug while achieving 90° bends. The solder-free adapters also address RoHS compliancy issues by reducing lead content. The 50 ohm UG-27 C/Us perform efficiently up...
