ARMMS RF & Microwave Society Conference Nov. 22-23, 2010 Rockingham Forest Hotel Northants, England Asia-Pacific Microwave Conference 2010 (APMC 2010) Dec. 7-10, 2010 Pacifico Yokohama Yokohama, Japan Radio Wireless Week Ja ...

Technology can be a wonderful thing, if properly applied. The history of this industry is rich with new technologies that were touted as “the next great thing,” but never quite changed the world the way early adopters thought it would. Those old enou ...

Frequency synthesizer model HFS-2500 from EM Research tunes from 2000 to 2500 MHz in 10-MHz steps and with better than 5-ms tuning speed. The synthesizer, which is ideal for electronic-warfare (EW) applications, delivers +5 dBm output power with bett ...

Model AM1090S816 is a surface-acoustic-wave (SAW) bandpass filter from Anatech Electronics with center frequency of 1090 MHz. It offers a total passband around the center frequency of 1084 to 1096 MHz with insertion loss of 5.3 dB. The 50-Ohm filter ...

A pair of programmable dividers from Hittite Microwave Corp. supports signal-generation applications from 100 MHz to 15 GHz. Models HMC862LP3E and HMC905LP3E are silicon-germanium (SiGe) BiCMOS low-noise programmable frequency dividers supplied in 3 ...

Direct digital synthesizers (DDS) are commonly used for sinusoidal signal generation in RF communication systems and test equipment. An integral component of DDS is the digital-to-analog converter (DAC). Although a DAC is intended to per ...

Analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) provide the vital transformation of analog signals into digital code in many systems. They perform amplitude quantization of an analog input signal into binary output words of finite length, normally in the range o ...

Short-range radio altimeters are important safety and navigational tools in small aircraft. Usually designed as short-range frequency-modulated (FM) radars in the 4.2-to-4.4-GHz band,1 their main applications are for instrument-based approaches and l ...

Oscillators are critical components in RF and digital designs. Although oscillator circuitry may already be provided as part of an integrated circuit (IC), a product-design engineer may still be required to select the crystal resonator and external.. ...

Multiple-input, multiple- output (MIMO) spatial-diversity antenna configurations are specified for emerging 3GPP Long- Term Evolution (LTE) mobile communications systems. In reality, LTE systems specify three types of antenna ...
