May 2008 [Conferences] IMS Displays Microwave Advances In Atlanta MICROWAVE WEEK has become a true meeting place for members of the highfrequency industry. Part continuing education, part product showcase, and part social networking, this week-long series of events is scheduled for the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, GA from June 15-20, 2008. Organized by members of the IEEE’s Microwave Theory & Techniques Society (MTT-S), it includes the 2008 International Microwave Symposium (IMS), the 2008 radio-frequency-integrated-circuit... — Jack Browne , et al. May 2008 [Devices & ICs] Novel Approaches Vow To Upset The Status Quo Despite the constant innovation in the microwave industry, many products are rooted in the same technologies. Gallium arsenide (GaAs), for example, is at the heart of many of today’s advanced amplifiers and other active components. Amidst this seeming status quo, however, lurk new innovations that could change the way that many products are made. These “disruptive technologies” can take the form of brand-new, completely novel approaches that have never... — Nancy Friedrich May 2008 [Components] Chip-Scale Packaging Approach Cuts Losses Chip-scale packaging (CSP) offers great promise for shrinking the size and cost of certain semiconductor devices. With customer pressures to reduce the size, weight, and cost of commercial semiconductors for wireless handsets, infrastructure equipment, and other commercial electronic applications, semiconductor manufacturers have sought ways to reduce the impact of packaging on their chips. Avago Technologies (... — Jack Browne May 12, 2008 [Industry News] IMEC IMEC is a Belgium-based independent research centre in nanoelectronics and nanotechnology. Its research focuses on the next generations of chips and systems, and on the enabling technologies for ambient intelligence... — Paul Whytock May 6, 2008 [Research & Development] RFID Tags Take A Space Trip To Test Durability Laser coding and printing specialist DataLase along with US company Intermec and NASA have collaborated in the launch of a selection of marked RFID tags and aluminium discs into space... — Paul Whytock May 6, 2008 [Communications] Clocking Family Trims Noise In Wireless Infrastructure A family of three ultra-low-noise clock buffers, dividers, and distributors vows to simplify system clock design while providing additive noise of just 30 fs of additive root-mean-square (RMS) jitter... — Paul Whytock May 6, 2008 [Communications] 2.4-GHz Transceiver Delivers Lean Power Solution A single-chip, 2.4-GHz transceiver is promising to deliver impressive radio performance. The nRF24L01+ from Nordic Semiconductor (www.nordicsemi.com) delivers a 250-kb/s data-rate option mode that triples operating range and drop-in compatibility with the company’s existing nRF24L01 2.4-GHz Ultra Low Power (ULP) transceiver... — Paul Whytock May 6, 2008 [Communications] Renesas Teams Up With IMEC On Reconfigurable RF Transceivers Renesas Technology has entered into research collaboration with IMEC, Europe's independent nanoelectronics research centre. The joint venture will concentrate on developing 45nm RF transceivers targeted at Gbit/s cognitive radios... — Paul Whytock May 6, 2008 [Applications] Wireless Modules Score A Hit At Clay Pigeon Shoots Short-range radio device specialists Low Power Radio Solutions (LPRS) has developed an unusual application using wireless technology that means clay pigeon shooting can be enjoyed without firing lead shot around the countryside. The application is being used by leisure pursuits company Lasersport International... — Paul Whytock May 6, 2008 [Research & Development] Wireless Brain Monitoring System Is Powered By Patient’s Body Heat Independent research centre, IMEC, has developed a battery-free wireless 2-channel EEG (electroencephalography or brain wave monitoring system) powered by a hybrid power supply using body heat and ambient light... — Paul Whytock April 2008 [Communications] Rugged Cables And Connectors Can Take Abuse Microwave and optical cables and connectors currently serve a variety of industries. Yet they always have the common objective of delivering a transmission path for both highspeed digital and high-frequency analog signals. Their diverse capabilities and performance are derived from their design as well as other factors, such as materials. As it does in every industry, design follows demand. In other words, the evolution of such factors is driven... — Nancy Friedrich March [Communications] Mobile Television Prepares For Its Big Debut The industry must leverage the right standards and technologies to provide mobile-TV services on the go, deep inside buildings, and to millions of people at the same time. Nancy Friedrich Editor Television and cellular phones are among the most popular consumer-electronic products in history. As a result, putting the two together should result in the ultimate killer wireless application. Numerous carriers and technology companies have been... — Nancy Friedrich March [Communications] Synthesizers Squeeze Into Smaller Spaces Demanding requirements for newer communications systems are pushing frequency synthesizer developers to pack more performance into more compact designs. Jack Browne Technical Director Frequency synthesizers are instrumental to modern communications systems, which rely on stable RF signals for frequency downconversion and upconversion in receivers and transmitters, respectively. In response to customer demands for smaller and lower-power... — Jack Browne March 12, 2008 [Industry News] TriQuint Agrees To Acquire WJ Communications — Jack Browne March 12, 2008 [Industry News] GraSen Technology Launches 6-GHz Gain Block — Jack Browne March 12, 2008 [Industry News] FreeWave Technologies Teams With Arcadian Networks — Jack Browne March 12, 2008 [Industry News] Krytar Offers 50-GHz Directional Coupler — Jack Browne March 12, 2008 [Industry News] Lark Engineering Develops High-Power SMT Filter — Jack Browne March 12, 2008 [Industry News] VCO Tunes to 2440 MHz with Low Phase Noise — Jack Browne March 12, 2008 [Industry News] Skyworks Secures LG's 2007 Best Supplier Award — Jack Browne  prev. page
