EM simulation tool previews at EuMW 2014
In booth 109 at European Microwave Week (EuMW) 2014, Computer Simulation Technology is previewing CST STUDIO SUITE 2015, the upcoming version of its flagship electromagnetic (EM) simulation tool. Used to model systems and optimise designs, the upcoming version integrates solvers covering a broad range of frequencies and geometrical scales. The solvers are complemented by more specialised technology for applications such as PCBs, cables, thermal a...
EuMW 2014: PXI advance speeds load pull tests
European Microwave Week is the platform for Mesuro with support from National Instruments to demonstrate its latest advance in the utilisation of PXI to improve the speed of test for today’s technical demands. The two organisations will demonstrate a load pull set up that uses a traditional passive tuner for fundamental tuning and adds the RAPID PXI digital tuner to provide a high speed harmonic tuning capability.
EuMW 2014: Network analyser extension unit launched
At European Microwave Week Rohde & Schwarz has introduced an extension unit for its R&S ZVA high end network analyser family. The R&S ZVAX-TRM can be combined with an analyser to yield a powerful, compact and highly customisable system. The extension unit conditions the signals from the network analyser as required for a given task and either returns them to the analyser or outputs them via its integrated high-power test ports.
ADCs designed for integration into digital microwave SoCs
For integration into high performance digital microwave SoCs,64GS/s ADC and DAC cores with IBM's 32nm Silicon On Insulator (SOI) technology are now available fromSemtech. By integratingtheADCs andDACs with the SoCs, which featuredigitally programmable poly-phase filtering and interpolation techniques, wide bandwidths can be digitally processed.
VCO for microwave radio equipment consumes just 25mA
Suitable for microwave radio equipment and satellite communication applications, the CRO1878A-LFVCO has been introduced by Z-Communications. The device operates at 1878-1879MHz with a tuning voltage range of 1-4VDC.
Microwave test system gets frequency upgrade
Aeroflex has released a 26.5 GHz high-frequency extension for the 7700 Integrated Microwave Test System. The extension increases the frequency coverage from 6 GHz to 26.5 GHz, to address the need for a compact, economical, high-frequency bench-top microwave test system.
GaN enhancements on the agenda at RF/Microwave PA Forum
Dr. Christopher Harris, Cree’s European business development manager will present “Using CreeGaN Large Signal Models in Microwave Office Simulation Tools” at the RF/Microwave PA Forum at European Microwave Week (EuMW) in Rome (Oct 7-9).
Microwave/RF cable assembly performance compared over time
W. L. Gore & Associates has released a whitepaper which evaluates the durability and performance over time of several 18GHz microwave/RF cable assemblies described as having a ruggedised construction with similar specifications. This testing showed that the performance of a new microwave/RF cable assembly does not necessarily ensure reliable performance for the life of a system.
Ceramic bandpass filters target TETRA applications
The AT22D range of Ceramic Bandpass Filters from Aaren Technology has joined the RF and microwave components portfolio at Aspen Electronics. The filter represents a low frequency design for ceramic technology with the 5 section Bandpass design having a centre frequency of 390MHz and features 6mm resonators.
Coaxial switch designed to switch a microwave signal
Designed to switch a microwave signal from a common input to any three, four, five or six outputs, the CCS-19 series coaxial switches have been unveiled by Teledyne Coax Switches. The broadband multi-throw, electromechanical coaxial switchis available in Commercial and Elite models with temperatures ranges from -40 to +65°C and -55 to +85°C, respectively.
