Pasternack Debuts New Line of Compact Waveguide Gunn Diode Oscillators

IRVINE, Calif. – Pasternack, a leading provider of RF, microwave and millimeter wave products, has unveiled a new line of compact waveguide Gunn diode oscillators that are tunable and generate signal levels that exhibit low phase noise at popular K and Ka band frequencies. Typical applications include transmit and receive oscillators for radio communications, local oscillator source that can be multiplied for higher mm-wave frequency test and measurement, military and commercial radar sources, police radar, Doppler sensors and security screening.

Is this the world’s smallest digital TV transmitter? Raspberry Pi Zero and LimeSDR Mini combine to create pocket-sized open-source DVB

January 24, 2018 – The LimeSDR Mini and Raspberry Pi Zero have been used to create an open-source pocket-sized DVB (digital video broadcasting) transmitter, which is believed to be is the world’s smallest.
Developed by Evariste Okcestbon, the open-source prototype streams live images from a Raspberry Pi camera (PiCam) and implements avc2ts, dvb2iq and limetx software to encode and transmit H.264 video on the 1.2 GHz amateur TV band.

u-blox introduces world’s smallest LTE Cat M1 and NB-IoT multimode module with quad band 2G fallback

Thalwil, Switzerland – January 23, 2018 – u-blox (SIX:UBXN), a global leader in wireless and positioning modules and chips, today announced the SARA-R412M, an LTE Cat M1, NB-IoT, and quad band 2G (EGPRS) module with worldwide coverage. Measuring just 16 x 26 mm, the module is the world’s smallest to provide both LTE and quad band EGPRS support in a single design. The flexibility extends further with dynamic system selection as Cat M1, NB-IoT, and EGPRS in single mode or as a preferred connection that does not require a module reboot … Read More → "u-blox introduces world’s smallest LTE Cat M1 and NB-IoT multimode module with quad band 2G fallback"

SDK to Re-expand Capacity to Produce High-Grade SiC Epitaxial Wafers

TOKYO, Jan 23, 2018 – (JCN Newswire) – Showa Denko (“SDK”; TSE:4004) has decided to re-expand its capacity to produce high-quality-grade silicon carbide (SiC) epitaxial wafers for power devices, which have already been marketed under the trade name of “High-Grade Epi” (HGE), in addition to currently conducted expansion work of HGE production facilities. After the initial expansion work which is scheduled to be finished in this April, SDK’s capacity to produce HGE will be increased from current 3,000 wafers*1 per month to 5,000 wafers per month. After the re-expansion work which is to … Read More → "SDK to Re-expand Capacity to Produce High-Grade SiC Epitaxial Wafers"
