Low phase noise amps deliver high-dynamic range performance
Pasternack has released a new line of low phase noise amplifiers that incorporate GaAs HBT MMIC semiconductor technology to deliver ultra-low phase noise performance over a wide dynamic range. These amplifiers can be used to help optimise the sensitivity and dynamic range of higher performing test, radar and communication receiver designs where performance is dependent on how effectively the smallest and largest signal levels can be pro...
Low noise amplifiers provide 13.5dB of gain
The HMC8400 low noise amplifiers from Analog Devices are now being shipped by Mouser Electronics. Members of Analog Devices’ extensive series of single-ended, fixed-gain radio frequency (RF) ICs, the HMC8400 devices are wideband distributed low noise amplifiers (LNAs) that operate between 2GHz and 30GHz.
RFID readers offer extended levels of versatility
With the addition of two new devices that offer higher levels of versatility, HARTING has expanded its Ha-VIS family of UHF RFID readers, enabling individual project requirements to be met more efficiently and flexibly. The two additional RFID readers combine the performance and versatility of HARTING’s existing Ha-VIS RF-R300 family with the processing power and standards compatibility of the company’s MICA open computing platform.
Miniature frequency synthesiser covers 0.5-20GHz range
Global RF and microwave components and equipment manufacturer, AtlanTecRF, has announced the launch of the miniature 0.5-20.0GHz frequency synthesiser with GUI. Minimum set-up and easy operation are key features of the new, compact synthesiser, designated ASY-0050-2000, covering the full 0.5-20.0GHz range. In addition to the ultra broadband range the 2.5x2.5x1.1" housing has a 1KHz step size, ±0.5ppm frequency stability over a -1...

IQ mixers feature RF & LO frequency bands from 4-38GHz
Pasternack has released six IQ mixer models with RF and LO frequency bands ranging from 4 GHz to 38 GHz and In-Phase and Quadrature IF bandwidths ranging from DC to 4.5 GHz. Typical applications include point-to-point and point-to-multipoint radio, VSAT, Military Radar, EW, Satellite Communications, sensors, and test and measurement equipment.
MEMS oscillators reduce footprint by 75%
The DSC6000 family of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) oscillators from Microchip Technology is now in stock at Mouser Electronics. The ultra-small, ultra-low-power oscillators reduce footprint by up to 75 per cent and consume up to 50 percent less power than comparable quartz oscillators.
E-paper display modules create batteryless RFID-enabled tags
Pervasive Displays has announced that its low power E-Paper Display (EPD) modules have been used by Japan-based TOPPAN Printing to create a batteryless EPD tag with integrated RFID functionality, for logistics and inventory management. Designed to replace both paper labels and RFID tags, the batteryless RFID-enabled EPD tag from TOPPAN Printing combines a Pervasive Displays EPD module and programmable RFID tag.
Keeping on track with RFID
Mary Butler, Product Manager at HellermannTyton, discusses RFID technology and why it is the smart choice for electricians. Radio-Frequency Identification or RFID systems are widely used across a range of industries and have been in use for a number of decades. Used in all kinds of applications, from microchips for pets to goal-line technology, global RFID sales are consistently on the up, with a projected global market value of $17.6bn by 2...
Analogue phase shifters use TTL logic interface for precise control
A supplier of on-demand microwave and RF components, Fairview Microwave, has introduced a series of 8-bit programmable phase shifters that are adjustable over a full 360° range. These three new models can produce a discrete set of phase states of up to 256 total steps in 1.4° increments with superior accuracy and minimal phase shift error.
