SkyTraq Technology has announced the next generation Venus 8 platform supporting GPS, GLONASS, Beidou2, Galileo, QZSS, and SBAS. The Venus 8 doubles the search engine capability and reduces more than half the power consumption from the previous generation. Using high-performance search engine and track engine architecture, the Venus 8 is capable of acquiring and tracking 167 satellites simultaneously, achieving fastest signal acquisition and TTFF...

Averna has selected Averna’s Record & Playback solution for signal analysis and monitoring of Galileo satellites. The R&P platform selected by ESA features the RP-5300, a compact 2-channel wideband RF recorder designed to record live RF signals in the field, and the URT-2200 RF Player for GNSS. Averna’s R&P solution is powered by RF StudioTM, a high-performance RF recorder and playback software specifically designed for RF designers and resea...

Rohde & Schwarz has developed a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) simulator, which runs on its SMBV100A vector signal generator. The SMBV-K101 option allows developers in the automotive and wireless communications industries to test GNSS receivers for specific effects such as obscuration and multipath propagation.

Peregrine Semiconductor announce availability of a new SPDT RF switch for harsh environment and space applications. Manufactured on Peregrine’s UltraCMOS technology, the PE95421 switch is highly resistant to total dose and single event radiation effects, resulting in improved product reliability, as well as stable, and predictable, performance over the life of the mission.

Euroquartz has today revealed that it will be showing its wide range of high reliability crystal and oscillator products at the Defence & Security Equipment International 2013 exhibition, ExCeL, London, 10 to 13 September 2013. Euroquartz supplies markets where high reliability components are essential. These include crystals and oscillators for electronic systems used in satellites, civil and military aircraft and a broad range of ‘defence rel...

Molex has today announced a new line of air-dielectric ultra-low-loss flexible microwave coaxial cables. The new Temp-Flex microwave cable assemblies feature a patented dual monofilament air-enhanced design and a helically wrapped shield. These new cables achieve 85 to 88 percent velocity of propagation for increased signal speed.

International Rectifier has today introduced the radiation hardened ML Series dual output DC-DC power converter platform designed for RF communication equipment such as low noise amplifiers, receivers and frequency converters used onboard satellites. IR’s ML Series features output sequencing typically required by RF-circuitries and isolated telemetry/telecommand for compliant satellite telemetry/telecommand systems without the need for addition...

In 2012, according to the ADAC breakdown statistics, the roadside-assistance crews of German automobile club ADAC had to respond 2.6 million times to one of the most nerve-wracking experiences that can befall a motorist – a breakdown. In one third of those cases – about 900,000 times – motorists summoned the ADAC because they could not start their cars. The reason: a dead or defective battery, making the battery the single most common cause...

U-blox introduces the surface-mount MAX-M5Q, a compact satellite positioning module that supports US GPS, Russian GLONASS as well as Japanese QZSS satellite GNSS systems. High-performance GPS/GLONASS parallel operation is also supported to enhance positioning speed and accuracy.

The new L26 module from MSC features ultra low power consumption of only 21 mA in tracking mode/29 mA in acquisition mode and a high sensitivity of -165 dBm in tracking operation/-148 dBm in acquisition operation.
