16 October 2024 - Keysight Technologies expanded its signal generator portfolio with two new analog signal generators, an RF Analog Signal Generator and a Microwave Analog Signal Generator. These new solutions provide radio frequency (RF) engineers with portable and compact tools for component and device characterization at frequencies up to 26 GHz. RF engineers rely on signal generators to develop and test components and devices across consumer electronics, wireless networks, radar systems, and more. These tools are essential for producing continuous waveform and analog modulation signals during the design and testing process.
14 October 2024 - Ranatec, a part of Qamcom Group and progressive creator of test and measurement equipment for RF and microwave applications, introduced the digitally tunable RI 282 Band Pass Filter. The new active filters, variants of Ranatec’s series of Tunable Band Reject Filters, provide exceptional performance and are digitally tunable between 600-6000 MHz. The newest addition to Ranatec’s broad product offering, the next generation filters are the latest Ranatec innovation empowering leading electronics manufacturers to perform the enhanced testing that places their most advanced products in pole position for market.
10 October 2024 - Spectrum Instrumentation launches a family of DDS Generators named the 96xx series, forming a new product category in the company’s portfolio. The new DDS Instruments offer up to 50 sine wave carriers on one single output channel. This feature provides a new way for engineers and scientists to produce and independently control multi-tone sine signals. DDS, which is short for “Direct Digital Synthesis”, is a powerful technique for generating high-purity signals (typically sinewave cores, also called carriers or tones) with ultrafast switching between output frequencies and fine frequency resolution.
09 October 2024 - Pickering Interfaces announced that its Microwave Switch Design Tool – a free online tool for configuring application-specific PXI and LXI RF & microwave switching subsystems with just a few clicks – has been updated to include schematic design and simulation capabilities. The latest iteration of this web-based tool accelerates the design to production process – from block diagram to mechanical layout – and minimizes risk by enabling you to design your own custom RF switching subsystem with an immediate visual indication of electrical performance.
