ETS-Lindgren has announced the newest member of its family of double ridged waveguide horn antennas. Model 3116C sweeps from 10 to 40 GHz without stopping for band breaks, making it ideal for automated testing. The antenna accepts up to 20 watts of continuous input power and exhibits high gain and low VSWR.

ETS-Lindgren has introduced two new BiconiLog™ hybrid antennas that combine innovative design, compact size and excellent performance. Model 3143B covers 30 MHz to 1 GHz while model 3142E increases the upper frequency limit to 6 GHz and exhibit high gain and low VSWR.

ETS-Lindgren has announced a refocusing of its U.S. manufacturing facilities to increase vertical integration, the ability to provide a greater control of in-house processes and an improvement in logistics efficiency.

Aeroflex has announced the TM500 LTE-A test mobile now supports carrier aggregation for Time Division Duplex (TDD) in addition to Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) capability. The TM500 is capable of supporting all the carrier aggregation scenarios specified in 3GPP Release 10.

Reliant EMC has announced they are the authorized North American distributor for LaPlace Instruments, OnFILTER and York EMC Services. Reliant EMC provides cost effective and practical solutions for EMC testing. Located in San Jose, CA, the company offers first class support for emission and immunity testing requirements.

TDK Corporation has announced their expanded product range of EPCOS multilayer varistors with the new E series. This new series is compliant to AEC-Q200 with an extended stress test and are even more rugged and reliable than before. The operating voltage of the series ranges from 14V DC to 40V DC and can operate up to 150°C.

ON Semiconductor has expanded its NGBTxx family of 1200 volt trench field stop insulated gate bipolar (IGBT) devices with nine new energy efficient solutions. These new devices improve overall system efficiency, lower power dissipation and improve system reliability. The devices are suitable for motor control, solar and uninterruptable power supply applications.

The Newage MT91 automatic microhardness transverse testing system offers unrivalled testing speed – as fast as 6 seconds per test cycle – and a precise Rockwell type testing method that requires no manual interpretation of the impression. The newly released MT91 modular system is a cost-effective solution for applications that require advanced microhardness functionality such as case depth transverses.

Schurter has announced its new 5123 series filtered inlets featuring enhanced filter performance to the already successful standard 5120 series. The new 5132 series filter combines an IEC power inlet and a line filter, designed for nominal currents up to 15A. The higher attenuation meets the continually increasing demands for interference suppression of IT, medical, test and measurement and industrial equipment.

EMC Partner has announced their TRA3000 Immunity Tester now offers the ability to test to 5kV EFT pulses as new product standards have added this requirement. The enhanced EFT module with the same physical footprint fits directly into the existing TRA3000 mainframes allowing users to extend test capabilities with on-site upgrades to 5kV EFT pulses.
