New Microwave Coaxial Cable Collection with lengths up to 50ft
To complement its comprehensive range of microwave coaxial connectors, Atlantic Microwave Ltd has introduced a compatible and diverse series of semi-flexible and semi-rigid cables. ncluding all the popular outside diameters of 0.034, 0.047, 0.086, 0.141 and 0.250 inches, the collection includes outer conductor materials of copper, aluminium and braided copper / tin composite, each with its own respective properties of flexibility and bend repetit...
Microwave absorbers for collision avoidance systems
Microwave absorbers consist of materials that contain coatings whose electrical and/or magnetic properties have been altered in order to allow for the absorption of microwave energy at discrete or broadband frequencies. These absorbers have traditionally been used for EMI reduction, antenna pattern shaping, and radar cross section reduction.
Ultra Small VCO Ideal for Mobile Radios
Z-Communications, Inc. announces a new RoHS compliant Voltage Controlled Oscillator model USSP2350-LF for mobile communication system applications where low power consumption and small package size are critical. The USSP2350-LF covers the frequency range of 2300-2400 MHz in 0.5 to 3.0V of tuning voltage. This high performance VCO comes available in a compact surface mount package measuring a mere 0.2 x 0.2 x 0.04 while operating off 2.7V and draw...
Texas Instruments unveils world’s smallest half duplex (HDX) RFID mini-transponders for animal and asset tracking
Raising the standard in half duplex (HDX) transponder technology, Texas Instruments Incorporated today announced the world’s smallest half-duplex radio frequency identification (RFID) mini-transponders that enable customers to embed tags into smaller objects across a broader range of applications.
