GaN power amplifier has highest output for W-Band transmissions
Fujitsu Limited and Fujitsu Laboratories have announced the development of a GaN High-Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT) power amplifier for use in W-band (75-110GHz) transmissions. This can be used in a high-capacity wireless network with coverage over a radius of several kilometers.
Optocouplers offer speed increase in limited space
Everlight Electronics has announced the introduction of two single channel 6-pin SDIP 1Mb/s and 10Mb/s transistor output optocouplers. With merely half the dimensions of comparable 8-Pin 6N13X devices, they are both suited for use in space constrained industrial applications.The ELS511 and ELS611 optocouplers are SMD devices in a small outline 6-pin SDIP package.
Switch handles 100W of continuous wave power from 100MHz to 1GHz
Microsemi Corporation has announced a high power Monolithic Microwave Surface Mount (MMSM) series-shunt SP2T PIN diode reflective switch, the MPS2R10-606. The device is optimised for High Frequency (HF),Very High Frequency (VHF) and Ultrahigh Frequency (UHF) high power Transmit/Receive (T/R) switching in applications such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) receive arrays and first responder, military, aviation and marine radio communications.

Silicon chip features an integrated laser
Physicists at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a nanolaser, a thousand times thinner than a human hair. Thanks to an ingenious process, the nanowire lasers grow right on a silicon chip, making it possible to produce high-performance photonic components cost-effectively. This will pave the way for fast and efficient data processing with light in the future.
First large area fingerprint & vein sensor on plastic
Designed for biometric applications, FlexEnable and ISORG have revealed the world’s first large area flexible fingerprint sensor on plastic. Only 0.3mm thick and operating in visible and near infra-red up to wavelengths of 900nm, this technology is capable of measuring not only the fingerprint, but also the configuration of veins in the fingers, providing additional security versus that of a surface fingerprint alone.
'World’s smallest' optical switch operates in room temperature
Researchers working under Juerg Leuthold, Professor of Photonics and Communications, have created the world’s smallest integrated optical switch. Applying a small voltage causes an atom to relocate, turning the switch on or off.The quantity of data exchanged via communications networks around the globe is growing at a breathtaking rate.
Big Bang event shows 600 pupils what their future could hold
TDK Corporation is pleased to announce that TDK-Lambda UK exhibited at the Great Torrington School Big Bang event. More than 20 local firms attended this one day STEM related event, demonstrating to over 600 pupils and students what their future could hold through inspirational, interactive exhibits.
Microdisplay technologies enable the AR/VR revolution
If the buzz at the Consumer Electronics Show is any indication of things to come (and it usually is), 2016 is expected to be the year of VR. Much anticipated VR headset launches, announcement of investment in enabling technologies and developments of optimised components made VR the words on everyone's lips at CES 2016. By Dr Harry Zervos, Principal Analyst, IDTechEx.
Smart rubber gloves could help diagnose cancer
Described in Nature Nanotechnology, Japanese and U.S. researchers headed by Professor Takao Someya from the University of Tokyo have come up with a new pressure-sensing material that is not only thin and resistant to deformation, but also maintains accuracy even when bent in a variety of ways. If this novel sensor could be incorporated into examination gloves, then it could possibly aid cancer diagnosis by helping doctors feel tumors.
A holistic approach pays off
Arthur Schaldenbrand, Cadence Design Systems, discusses some of the power design challenges that have emerged over recent years as well as some promising new technologies to address them.
