Waveguide bends operate across 12 bands from 5.85 to 90GHz
Pasternack debuts brand new lines of waveguide bends operating from 5.85 to 90GHz across 12 frequency bands from C band to W band). These waveguide bends are commonly used in applications such as instrumentation, test benches, high efficiency RF, microwave and mm-wave transmissions, SATCOM, MILCOM, radar and telecomms.
RF connectors are corrosion resistant & waterproof
Suitable for use in harsh environments such as marine, naval, chemical, oil and gas industries, the Pisces waterproof connector range has been introduced by Intelliconnect. Conventional RF connectors are manufactured from brass and finished with nickel plating or passivated stainless steel. Such finishes are subject to minor degrading in harsh environments and can lead to reducing the connector’s performance over time.
Crystals follow smaller size trend
Three new crystal series, which follow the trend towards the usage of smaller size crystals have been launched by Epson. They are available at distributor Rutronik. The new 2.0x1.6mm size TCXO/VC-TCXO series TG2016SBN contains the built-in 2nd generation of Epson internal IC. It is the TCXO with the lowest cost offered by Epson due to re-engineered package and cost optimised production.
Solid state GaN power amplifiers save design time
Fairview Microwave has announced a line of solid state GaN power amplifiers offering designers a unique solution of off-the-shelf components, typically requiring months of lead time to acquire.
Superconducting microwave detection achieves record
The record was made using a partially superconducting microwave detector. The discovery may lead to ultrasensitive cameras and accessories for the emerging quantum computer. The first of the two key enabling developments is the detector design consisting of tiny pieces of superconducting aluminum and a golden nanowire. This design guarantees both efficient absorption of incoming photons and very sensitive readout. The whole detector is smaller th...
Radio module achieves an impressive range up to 16km
Created in order to offer the popular LoRa technology by Semtech for IoT applications, RF Solutions has announced a high performing radio module measuring just 23x20mm. The RF-LORA module can achieve an impressive range of up to 16km, spread spectrum communication and high interference immunity within minimum current consumption.
Crystal oscillators capable of tight frequency calibration tolerance
Frequency control specialist, Euroquartz has launched two new ranges of military specification crystal oscillators designed for use in applications that require high reliability. Housed in industry standard 14-pin DIL (dual-in-line) packages, the new EQXO-1000BMK and EQXO-3000BMK clock oscillators incorporate a custom-designed quartz crystal and a CMOS/TTL compatible hybrid circuit on a ceramic substrate.
Digital step attenuator operates from 1Hz to 2.5GHz
The PE4314 is a 75Ω HaRP technology-enhanced, 6-bit RF DSA that operates from 1MHz to 2.5GHz and features glitch-less attenuation state transitions and low distortion. It supports 1.8V control voltage and an extended operating temperature range up to +105 °C, making it versatile for a range of wired broadband applications, including DOCSIS 3.1/0, satellite and fibre customer premises equipment (CPE) and infrastructure.
Solid-state RF energy - control, efficiency and reliability
Industrial cooking, heating and drying processes will benefit from replacing decades old technology with modern electronic RF energy systems based on the latest GaN-on-Si technology, writes Sally Ward-Foxton.
IEEE-1588 solution enables phase synchronization implementation with existing networks
Microsemi has announced the availability of a phase-compliant embedded solution enabling IEEE 1588 across a wide variety of applications. The API 4.7 release of the company’s software suite adds support for the ITU-T G.8275.2 Precision Time Protocol (PTP) profile for timing and phase with partial timing support. This is complemented by enhancements to Microsemi’s TimeProvider series TP2700 and T...
