RF sensors enable IoT network for smart commercial solutions
Semtech has announced its LoRa RF technology will be integrated in a large low-power, wide-area network deployed by French mobile network operator Bouygues Telecom, in partnership with leading communications company Sagemcom. The network, based on Semtech’s open LoRaWAN standard, will enable commercial service providers to take full advantage of the IoT movement to offer smarter, more efficient solutions for urban planning, infrastructure m...
Clock generators enable more reliable telecomms
Providing ultra-low jitter of 100fs and flexible, unique pin control options, a family of clock generators has been introduced by Texas Instruments. Compared to conventional reference clock solutions, the LMK033x8 clock generators' jitter performance enables system designers to optimise system timing margins and bit error rate to reduce data transmission errors.
Improved flagship 10W L- & S-band RF power amplifier module
NuWaves Engineering announced the release of an upgraded broadband RF PA for L- and S-band transmitters and data radios, the NuPower 12B01A model, featuring improved power efficiency and operational temperature performance and a wider supply voltage range.
Unique RFID antenna is adaptable to customer applications
HARTING has developed a unique type of RFID antenna, the Ha-VIS LOCFIELD(R) antenna, which uses a coaxial travelling-wave concept to offer users a compact package with complete flexibility in the design of RF reading zones. Not only is the antenna adaptable to every customer application: it is also suitable for situations where space is at a premium.
'World's first' IQTransmitter with 40GHz RF bandwidth
At ECOC 2015, which is scheduled to take place from 27th September to 1st October in Valencia, Spain, Coherent Solutions will announce the launch of its 40GHz IQTransmitter, IQTX-40.
Threshold detectors cover wave applications from 2 to 40GHz
A line of coaxial threshold detectors designed for microwave and millimeter wave applications from 2 to 40GHz has been released by Pasternack. These threshold detectors are commonly used for analysing radar performance, leveling pulsed signal sources, AM noise measurements, system monitoring and pulsed RF measurements in ultra-broadband applications.
Innovative RFID tags shape the future of identification
Cable management is being revolutionised with the development of RFID. HellermannTyton has developed a range of nylon and stainless steel identification cable ties complete with an integrated RFID tag. The new tags enable users to easily fix cables and equipment that need to carry a serial number for tracking and identification purposes.
