Frequency

  This presentation from Keysight is intended to be a tutorial on spectrum and signal analysis. It is written for those who are unfamiliar with spectrum analysers and vector signal analysers, and would like a basic understanding of how they work, what you need to know to use them to their fullest potential, and how to make them more effective for applications.

Pasternack has just launched a new series of waveguide straight sections, bends and twists that are commonly used in satellite communication, radar and airport security system applications. Pasternack’s new waveguide transmission components feature high frequency ranges from 90 to 220GHz in three waveguide bands. 

As reliance on precise frequency and timing increases due to the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNUS) enabling 5G communication networks, data centres and other mission critical infrastructure, smaller size and high-performance atomic clock technology has become essential to support both military and commercial applications.

  PragmatIC and Schreiner MediPharm have entered into a strategic partnership to add smart labels based on PragmatIC’s ConnectIC family of flexible integrated circuits into Schreiner MediPharm’s product portfolio.

The BLP05H9S500P LDMOS-based power amplifier transistor from Ampleon is designed for use in industrial heating, defrosting, plasma lighting and medical applications. Operating at a frequency range of between 423 to 443MHz, the device can deliver up to 500W output power in pulsed or continuous wave modes and enables so far untapped drain efficiency levels of typically 75%.

Analog Devices has introduced a new wideband transceiver within its RadioVerse design and technology ecosystem. The ADRV9026 is designed to support base station applications including single and multi-standard 3G/4G/5G macrocell base stations, massive MIMO (M-MIMO) and small cell systems.

Pasternack has launched a new line of ten, 25, 50 and 100 Watt RF attenuators with operating frequencies up to 18GHz depending on the configuration. Pasternack now offers 31 high power, fixed attenuators which offer attenuation levels of three, six, ten, 20, 30 and 40dB. Additionally, in-series connector gender interfaces are available in male-female configurations with both SMA and Type-N connector options.

The QPA3069 power amplifier from Qorvo is now being shipped by Mouser Electronics. Engineered for defence and aerospace applications, the 100W QPA3069 provides high power density and power-added efficiency for 2.7 - 3.5GHz radio frequency (RF) based designs.

Fairview Microwave has introduced a new line of frequency divider modules that cover broadband frequencies from 0.1 to 20GHz. A comprehensive offering of 28 different models features fixed divide-by-ratios from two to 40. These compact prescalers are well suited for use in frequency synthesiser and phase locked loop (PLL) circuit designs, as well as test instrumentation systems.

  Mini Circuits has expanded its collaboration with 4D radar imaging pioneer, Vayyar, to offer researchers in the Radio Frequency / microwave industry and academia a ready-to-use, 4D millimeter wave (mmWave) imaging and sensing application development platform.
