Preetpaul Singh Devgan's book, Applications of Modern RF Photonics, presents applications of modern RF photonic systems that use RF photonic components for commonly used signal processing systems. In this post, he explains what he hopes readers get out of his book.
MetawaveTM announced the successful demonstration of the industry’s first, award-winning, SPEKTRA™ analog beamsteering radar. SPEKTRA is the most accurate and intelligent automotive radar available today able to clearly detect vehicles beyond 300 meters and pedestrians beyond 200 meters with the highest angular resolution. Metawave has filed for 150+ patents to date and received its first issued patent in 2019. Metawave’s SPEKTRA radar demonstration from CES 2020 can be viewed on the company’s YouTube channel or www.metawave.co.
The new EV12DS460 from e2v is the world's first DAC to perform signal generation directly at K-Band (18 to 27 GHz), removing the need for signal up-conversion and the costly mixers required to perform this task. The DAC simplifies system architecture and reduces size, weight and power.
Linear Technology Corp. announces the LTC3886, a 60V input dual output synchronous step-down DC/DC controller with programmable loop compensation and I²C-based PMBus interface. This controller employs a constant-frequency, current-mode architecture with programmable output voltage up to 13.8V. The LTC3886 is ideal for harsh environments requiring a high input voltage range commonly found in factory automation, industrial, medical, communications and avionic applications.
Elsevier, a world-leading provider of scientific, technical and medical information products and services, announced the publication of "Analog Circuit Design Volume Three: Design Note Collection," the next book in the Analog Circuit Design series, edited by Linear Technology's Bob Dobkin and John Hamburger.
Texas Instruments Inc. announced the election of Haviv Ilan to senior vice president of High Performance Analog (HPA), succeeding Steve Anderson, who will now lead TI Analog overall. Ilan is responsible for managing an extensive portfolio of amplifiers, data converters and interface products, as well as medical and high-reliability products.
Cover Sistemi, an Italian electronics developer, used AWR software to design an ultra-wideband (UWB) receiver from concept to final production in a single pass. Specifications were for a complete design starting from the antenna through to the entire RF/baseband analog chain down to the AD converter.
Agilent Technologies Inc. and FIME, a secure-chip consulting and testing provider, announced the availability of test systems based on the EMV® Contactless Level 1 Specification for mobile payments.
Mentor Graphics Corp. announced that it has acquired Berkeley Design Automation Inc. (BDA), a recognized leader in nanometer analog, mixed-signal, and RF circuit verification. With over one hundred customers worldwide, BDA uniquely addresses nanometer circuit design challenges via its Analog FastSPICE™ unified verification platform and exceptional vertical-application expertise. The acquisition of BDA aligns with Mentor’s goal to deliver technologies with superior performance and automation for the growing challenges of Analog/Mixed-Signal (AMS) verification.
