Microwave cable assemblies target 40GHz applications
Featuring a robust mechanical construction designed for dynamic applications, the SUCOFLEX 200 series of microwave cable assemblies has been introduced by HUBER+SUHNER. The series has been developed specifically for high performance applications where industry leading insertion loss figures, high phase stability versus temperature and bending, excellent return loss and mechanical stability are key requirements.
RFID reader IC enables rugged handheld scanner
ams has announced that the 1153, a rugged, wearable RFID scanner made by Technology Solutions Limited, uses the highly-integrated, low-power AS3993 reader IC. The small, light 1153 Bluetooth Wearable RAIN (UHF) RFID Reader, which measures 10.2x5.5x5.6cm and weighs just 157g, has a palm strap so it can easily be worn on the back of the user’s hand, as well as an anchor point for attachment to a tablet computer.
Cost-effective LNAs & gain blocks cover 9KHz to 3GHz
Pasternack has announces the release of affordable coaxial-packaged RF amplifiers. Both low noise and gain block amplifiers are offered and display excellent performance covering wide octave frequency bands from 9KHz to 3GHz. All of these amplifiers provide an outstanding value and are all priced less than $500.00 for a single unit.
Ceramic resonators offer mechanical load capacity advantage
Schukat has extended its range of Frequency Control Products (FCPs), introducing five radial wired ceramic resonators from Red Frequency's IR ZTTMG and IR ZTTMT ranges. Ceramic resonators possess clear advantages in terms of size, mechanical load capacity and price, thus making up for the better frequency stability and accuracy of a classical quartz oscillator.
Orange selects Semtech LoRa RF technology for LPWAN
Semtech has revealed that Orange, one of the largest mobile network operators in the world, has selected its LoRa RF technology for a LPWAN (Low-Power, Wide-Area Network) scheduled to deploy in the first quarter of 2016. Orange will use the LoRa LPWAN to connect low power sensors to mainly 'smart city' applications across France.
easyRadio transceivers are now FCC & IC approved
LPRS (Low Power Radio Solutions) has now gained FCC & IC approval for its easyRadio Integrated Controller transceiver module, eRIC9-FCC, approving its use in the USA and Canada therefore removing this complex approval process for OEMs.
Jitter attenuator & frequency synthesiser offer high performance
Integrated Device Technology has introduced jitter attenuator and frequency synthesiser devices that deliver ultra-high performance, meeting the phase noise requirements of the most stringent applications, including JESD204B-compliant RF timing. The 8V19N407 and 8V19N408 support up to 3GHz output frequencies, as well as 82fs of RMS phase noise, addressing the requirements of multi-carrier GSM radio transceivers as well as 40 and 100Gb Ethernet PH...
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.
