Discussion of various RF filter technologies, and the progression of recent innovations delivering the newest levels in RF filter performance applicable for Satcom and Radar. Describing solutions spanning 240MHz MUOS UHF through L-band SatCom (Iridum and InMarSat) to Ku-Band and Ka-Band Satcom (Uplink and Downlink) with a fraction of the Size, Weight, and Cost for […]
Read moreA new microwave measurement receiver calibrates signal generators and attenuators providing tuned RF level measurements, level measurements, analog modulation and spectrum analysis. To measure the phase noise of the generators a powerful hardware for high end phase noise test is incorporated, with cross correlation for increased sensitivity. Due to real-time demodulation amplitude and phase noise […]
Read moreWhen testing up and down-conversion systems in agile radars, it is often necessary to isolate the performance of the internal local oscillators (LOs). Using a high quality and fast switching signal generator as a substitute LO allows engineers to isolate the true performance of their convertor chain. It enables them to evaluate signal chains without […]
Read moreGPR is the first and only company using ground penetrating radar technology for automated vehicle navigation. The company’s Ground Positioning Radar tracks and maps the Earth’s subsurface, creating a map that pinpoints vehicles within centimeter-level accuracy in any condition. GPR’s technology provides critical insights for vehicles beyond what the human eye can see, regardless of […]
Read moreHypersonic (speeds above Mach 5) travel is not new, with V2-powered missiles achieving hypersonic velocities in the late 1940s and Russia’s Sputnik 1 satellite reaching space orbit in 1957. What is new are well-publicized missile launches by China, Russia and the US that have increased levels of interest and concern around the globe. Hypersonic weapons […]
Read moreAddressing the challenges of mmWave radar development with yield, material performances and innovations in architectures in support of mixed material PCB stack ups and thermal management of next generation Radar IC’s.
Read moreMost RF systems we have today been designed for one type of service operating in one frequency band. Now in the early 2020s the path to a promising future is being opened by the combination of following opens: A. The new microwave capable data conversion technology supporting direct conversion in multiple frequency bands up to […]
Read moreToday’s RF and radio system architecture can be divided into three separate blocks: the up/down converter, the baseband processor, and the RF front end. Presently, there are three highly integrated radio solutions to consider depending on your operating frequency and bandwidth requirements: integrated transceiver ICs, which operate from 30-6000 MHz and offer bandwidth of 12 […]
Read moreSince OneWeb filed to launch and operate its non-geostationary (NGSO) satellite constellation in 2016, initiating the first of now four FCC Processing Rounds for U.S. Market Access, more than twenty distinct entities have filed applications in the United States to launch more than 70,000 satellites to serve the US Market. This presentation provides an introduction […]
Read moreAntennas are critical part of any wireless system for maximizing efficiency and data rates. Machine learning is a method of data analysis that automates analytical model building. Antennas are becoming more and more complex each day with increase in demand for their use in variety of devices (smart phones, autonomous driving to mention a couple); […]
