Signal generator tests 5G FR1, LTE, Wi-Fi components and systems
Designed for bench and production use, the N5186A generates wireless signals to 3 GHz, 6 GHz or 8.5 GHz depending on model. Designing commercial or military wireless receivers, amplifiers, and systems means you’ll need to generate test signals. Keysight’s N5186A MXG vector-signal generator (datasheet) is available in one-channel or four-channel models with Type-N connectors. Each…
GNSS module adds positioning to IoT devices
u-blox has announced the u-blox NEO-F10N, its latest positioning module. This module is based on the well-known u-blox NEO form factor and is equipped with u-blox F10 dual-band GNSS technology. It supports L1/L5 GNSS bands from multiple constellations (including NavIC) to provide solid meter-level position accuracy in urban areas. Its firmware is upgradeable and highly configurable to…
Horn antennas let you characterize wireless systems
Fairview Microwave has announced the launch of its newest product line: quad-ridge, dual-polarized, broadband gain horns. These gain horns range from 0.8 GHz to 95 GHz waveguide and are available in gain varieties of 6, 10, 12, 15, and 20 dBi. Designed to perform in broadband test and measurement applications, these gain horns are instrumental…
Crystals for mmWave SoCs feature thermistors
Kyocera has begun mass production of products certified by IC manufacturers and suitable for smartphones compatible with 5G millimeter-wave ultra-high-speed communications, which will be increasingly in demand. Low ESR and stable temperature characteristics are achieved using Kyocera’s outstanding photolithography and plasma CVM technology developed in collaboration with Osaka University (see details here). Available in 76.8MHz, Qualcomm Technologies’ Chipset…
Embedded digital-capacitor ICs enable antenna tuning
Femto/picofarad antenna-tuning ICs enable smartphones to work over several bands and scenarios, thus solving the challenging impedance-matching dilemma. One of the indicators of innovative engineering is to take an attribute that is normally considered to be a drawback and not only negate that characteristic but actually use it to advantage in another setting. Consider this…Low-loss RF balun family covers 3 GHz to 100 GHz
Fabless mmWave semiconductor startup mmTron Inc. today announced the first four products in a family of broadband, low loss, 50 Ω baluns, covering 3–18, 11–65, and 27–100 GHz. (Baluns are components that transform balanced to unbalanced signals and vice versa.) “Several of our MMIC products use baluns, and we designed our own to get the…
