Through photos and videos, EE World covers some of the active and passive components that RF and wireless engineers need to connect us all.

This week, at the 2023 International Solid-State Circuits Conference, imec presents a novel digitally calibrated charge-pump (CP) phase-locked loop (PLL) that can generate high-quality frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) signals for mmWave radars at low power consumption. The novel PLL is a critical building block for future short-range automotive (in-cabin and out-of-cabin) and industrial (e.g., on-cobot sensing)…

Ciena announced the latest generation of its industry-leading WaveLogic technology. Optimized for high-capacity transport required with next-generation routing data paths and associated wholesale services, Ciena’s WaveLogic 6 will support up to 1.6Tb/s single-carrier wavelengths for metro ROADM deployments, 800Gb/s over the longest links, and energy-efficient 800G pluggables across 1000km distances. As service providers grapple with the dual…

Learn the basics of how to use RF over fiber. You have many options.

>Samtec introduced a flexible waveguide, to be released later in 2022.

Designing an antenna into a wireless embedded or IoT device requires special care to maximize performance.

RF component manufacturer Pasternack has added some 54 models to its line of mmWave antennas for 5G and other applications. Additions include five new categories of high frequency waveguide antennas are now available to address point-to-point and point-to-multi-point wireless applications, including Probe Waveguide Antennas to 170 GHz with 6.5 dBi of gain Dual Polarized Waveguide…
