20W RF amplifier for electronic warfare markets
International Radio Frequency (RF) and Microwave solutions provider, NuWaves Engineering, has announced the development of their latest miniaturised C-band bidirectional amplifier (BDA) to their line of NuPower Xtender bidirectional amplifier products. The NuPower Xtender 06D05A BDA module, part number NW-BA-06D05A, follows the recent releases of both the C-Band Low Noise Amplifier (HILNATM CX) and the C-Band Power Amplifier (NuPowerTM 06D05A).
External RF filters let you analyse signals on the go
In December 2016 Narda Safety Test Solutions released efficient external RF filters for its IDA 2 handheld signal analyser. These optional RF filters help users to in particular avoid out of band overmodulation without reducing the necessary measurement sensitivity when making measurements with the IDA 2 in highly dynamic measurement environments. These overmodulation effects can occur when very weak RF signals need to be measured in the presence...
NFC/RFID Tag ICs offer fast transfer mode
The advanced ST25DV dynamic-tag ICs are the latest addition to the ST25 NFC/RFID product family that come with a rich featured contactless RF interface and I2C bus. The dual-interface enables untethered interaction between an NFC-capable smartphone or an RFID reader and the host microcontroller located inside near-by equipment, such as smart meters, IoT devices, professional, or consumer products.
Narrowband radio modules optimised for noisy environments
Assisting innovation in wireless communication system design and installation, Solid State Supplies now offers its customers the RC17xxHP series from Radiocrafts. These compact radio modules are capable of delivering RF output levels beyond those of the competition.

Advanced crystal geometry puts oscillator in tiny package
An oscillator in the advanced tiny package of just 1.2 x 2.0 x 0.7 mm has been announced by Micro Crystal, a leading provider of quartz crystals, oscillators, OCXOs and Real-Time Clocks for the world's leading electronics industry now offers the popular. This hermetically sealed package hosts the integrated circuit together with the XTAL. It withstands harsh environmental condition.
GNSS receiver module is reliable in any environment
The SAM-M8Q Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver module from u-blox is now available at Alpha Micro. The module’s tiny 15.5mm land grid array (LGA) surface-mount package, containing an integrated wide-band antenna, makes it an ideal all-in-one module for developers with limited radio frequency (RF) and antenna design experience.
Crystal oscillators obtain high accuracy timing
A range of temperature compensated crystal oscillators (TCXO) has been announced by Mercury Electronics Europe that are designed for high accuracy timing in a broad range of applications. The new ME32T series offers 15pF CMOS output at a frequency of 32.768kHz with a maximum frequency stability of ±5ppm over the industrial temperature range −40 to 85°C.
Microphone circuitry enables sound detection and keyword recognition
STMicroelectronics, DSP Group and Sensory, has revealed details for a highly power-efficient, voice-detecting and processing microphone that delivers keyword-recognition capabilities in a compact package.
MDES integration secures digital-payment solutions
G&D's Convego Hub solution has been integrated with the Mastercard Digital Enabled Service (MDES). With this integration to MDES, G&D can provide a one-stop solution to Mastercard issuers for secure mobile payments both for issuers’ own wallets on HCE (Host Card Emulation)-enabled mobile devices as well as for issuer participation in third-party wallets.
Broadband low noise amplifier covers C to X band frequencies
International Radio Frequency (RF) and Microwave solutions provider, NuWaves Engineering, has introduced their broadband low noise amplifier covering C- to X-Band frequencies, extending the frequency range and potential applications over which the HILNATM family of Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) products can operate.
