RF SOI switches move into GaAs frequencies territory
Two UltraCMOS 60GHz RF SOI switches have been announced by Peregrine Semiconductor. ThePE42525 and PE42625 extend Peregrine’s high frequency portfolio into frequencies previously dominated by gallium-arsenide (GaAs) technology. The SOI switches featuring fast switching, high isolation, low insertion loss and excellent linearity.
High performance RF switches ideal for communication applications
CEL is introducing a variety of RF switches that have been designed as easy drop in replacements for a wide range of existing RF products as well as for new designs. Target markets include test and measurement systems as well as Wi-Fi,ZigBee and Bluetooth routers, sensors, appliances, and other radio equipped products.RF and microwave switches are used to route high frequency signals through transmission paths.
Laser technology could improve telecommunications and computing
Researchers at the University of California San Diego have demonstrated the world's first laser based on an unconventional wave physics phenomenon called bound states in the continuum. The technology could revolutionise the development of surface lasers, making them more compact and energy-efficient for communications and computing applications. The new BIC lasers could also be developed as high-power lasers for industrial and defense application...
Light cools microscopic drum below quantum limit
Physicists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have cooled a mechanical object to a temperature lower than previously thought possible, below the so-called "quantum limit."The NIST theory and experiments, described inNature, showed that a microscopic mechanical drum—a vibrating aluminum membrane—could be cooled to less than one-fifth of a single quantum, or packet of energy, lower than ordinarily predicted by ...
Bidirectional amplifier aids communications and telemetry
NuWaves Engineering nears completion on the Internal Research and Design (IRaD) phase for their miniaturized VHF/UHF RF bidirectional amplifier (BDA). The NuPower Xtender 16A06A model features high linearity performance, small size and weight, high ACLR, and broad supply voltage range and a low-cost solution. Initial low rate production is scheduled to start early February with testing starting shortly after. Demo units will be available by late ...
Link Microtek wins contract to supply high-power microwave circulator
Link Microtek has been awarded a contract by the Science & Technology Facilities Council to supply a high-power microwave circulator assembly for a new particle accelerator project that is currently under development.The high-power S-band circulator, which is being designed and manufactured by US firm Ferrite Microwave Technologies, will be used in the RF front-end section of the next-generation light source test facility known as CLARA (comp...
PLL synthesisers offer high levels of frequency stability
A new line of USB-controlled Phase Locked Loop (PLL) frequency synthesisers has been launched byPasternack. In RF and microwave communications systems where signal integrity is of prime importance, PLL synthesisers offer high levels of frequency stability and accuracy with phase noise characteristics that allows components in the signal chain to perform at their optimum levels.
Low-cost OEM solution for fibre optic temperature measurements
SPIE Photonics West 2017 will see Micronor and Optocon AG debuting as they have collaborated to create the FOTEMP1-OEM-MNT; a low cost, small form factor, single channel signal conditioner that seamlessly integrates Fibre Optic Temperature Sensing into any industrial control system, medical instrumentation or other OEM design.
Tokyo platform for PXI switching solutions
PXI switching and simulation solutions will be showcased by Pickering Interfaces and its Japanese agent Andor Systems Support at ELECTROTEST JAPAN (January 18-20).Featured will be a 2-slot USB/LXI Ethernet Modular Chassis (model 60-104) which offers a small lightweight form factor, making it ideal for portable, benchtop and space restrictive applications.
Right-angle waveguide to coax adapters operate up to 65GHz
A supplier of on-demand microwave and RF components, Fairview Microwave, has released a line of 1.85, 2.4 and 2.92mm waveguide to coax adapters with operating ranges up to 65GHz. These waveguide adapters are ideal for numerous applications requiring a transition from coax to waveguide or vice versa, including SATCOM, wireless communications, industrial, test and measurement and defense systems.
