With the proliferation of digital phased arrays in commercial and aerospace and defense applications, there are many engineers working on various aspects of the design who have limited phased array antenna familiarity.

Leonardo Microwave Power Solutions Department offers a complete set of high power microwave products developed and provided by the LEONARDO Electronics Division team based in Palermo (Italy) since 1956, for the production of high power vacuum electronic devices. In the 90s the product range was expanded with the introduction of chip and wire technology for microwave microelectronics hybrid integrated circuits, modules and sub-assemblies.

This eBook contains a series of articles that describing new MEMS switch technologies. Part I reports on MEMS switch topologies including a new defective ground structure (DGS) and metamaterial inspired capacitive contact MEMS switch; Part II reports methods to reduce stiction effects in a resistive contact MEMS switch; and Part III discusses methods to reduce static friction (or stiction) effects in a capacitive contact MEMS switch for applications in modern electronic circuits and 5G communications. Read about this fascinating development effort done by C.A.R.E, Indian Institute of Technology in Delhi partnering with Synergy Microwave in New Jersey as top scientists from both organization cooperated to develop these new topologies resulting in ground breaking performance for MEMS switches.

This eBook provides design advice on mmWave components and some examples of the new systems and applications where companies are providing interesting solutions. SOI is a semiconductor platform well suited for mmWave applications and so that is covered in the first article. Knowles offers design advice in several of the articles covering optimized solutions for many passive devices for mmWave applications. A unique liquid crystal steerable antenna system is also covered along with trends in millimeter phased arrays and MIMO radar. Another article looks at the role of satellites in 5G networks. Read this collection of articles for design advice and interesting examples of how mmWave components are being used in practical applications.

The low-earth orbit (LEO) satellite realm has spawned an entirely new class of devices requiring innovations in crystal oscillator products to meet performance and price benchmarks. Manufacturers of space-qualified crystal oscillators, like Q-Tech, have developed a range of devices (XO, TCXO, VCXO, and others) to provide optimized price and performance for each orbital application. This paper will delve into the subject with the objective of providing an informed understanding of the elements that go into device selection.

The family of ZNB vector network analyzers (VNA) from Rohde & Schwarz are the perfect instruments for analyzing RF amplifier small signal linear and non-linear performance. This application note presents information on how to configure and use the R&S® ZNB vector network analyzer to successfully make accurate and quick measurement of basic RF amplifier parameters.

This white paper evaluates traditional state of the art platings as well a new proprietary plating, SURO720, developed in partnership by HUBER+SUHNER and Rosenberger.
