Agilent Technologies Inc. announced the extension of its source-corrected noise-figure measurement capability in PNA-X network analyzers to 43.5 and 50 GHz, while continuing to maintain the highest noise-figure measurement accuracy in the industry. Built directly into the Agilent PNA-X, the technique provides a complete single-connection, multiple-measurement capability for R&D and manufacturing engineers developing and testing low-noise transistors, amplifiers, frequency converters and transmit/receive modules.
RFMW Ltd. announces design and sales support for the TGA2611, 2 to 6 GHz LNA utilizing TriQuint’s GaN25 technology. GaN processes provide a highly robust input coupled with low noise figure and high gain, ideal characteristics for S- and C-Band radar receivers or broadband communication receivers. 
Custom MMIC, a developer of performance-driven monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs), has added four new amplifiers in die form to its product family: the CMD164, 165, and 173 distributed amplifiers, and the CMD166 driver amplifier.
