Rohde & Schwarz announced a promotion for its line of value bench instrument solutions. This promotion called “This Changes Everything” allows customers to purchase all the bandwidth, channels, inputs, memory interfaces and signal generation they may ever need, at one package price.

EDI CON China 2019 showcased award-winning products and grew attendance during this year’s event April 1-3, 2019 at the China National Convention Center (CNCC) in Beijing, China. Completing its seventh year, EDI CON CHINA continues to be the largest microwave and high-speed digital design conference and exhibition in China.

One of the biggest 5G network deployment challenges is synchronizing higher volumes of more densely packed base stations. Another is keeping services operating through Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) lapses due to vulnerabilities such as jamming, spoofing or loss of signal. Microchip Technology Inc., via its Microsemi subsidiary, is solving these and other challenges for networks with additions to its Precision Time Protocol (PTP) PackeTime^® portfolio including the TimeProvider 4100 Release 2.0.

Spectrum Instrumentation has used its modular design philosophy to create a solution for customers wanting multi-channel AWGs. Having 8 AWG channels on a single PCIe-card only 168 mm in length offers great new opportunities for very compact and affordable test systems. The addition of the two new 8-channel-cards to Spectrum's latest "65" series of PCIe Arbitrary waveform generators means that, using Spectrum's Star-Hub, up to 80 channels can be fully synchronized in a single PC.

SIGLENT Technologies has introduced the SDL1000X and SDL1000X-E series of programmable electronic DC Loads, which are designed for battery, solar cell, and power supply testing. The SDL1020X/X-E models offer an input range of 150 V/30 A with 200 W total power dissipation, while the SDL1030X/X-E’s have an input range of 150 V/30 A up-to 300 W.

Passive Plus, Inc.’s brand new Capacitor Application Program (C.A.P.) helps engineers and designers select capacitors according to parameters such as cap value and frequency. C.A.P. will provide options (case size, terminations, mounting), and parameters (ESR, Q, impedance) along with datasheets.

Keysight Technologies, Inc. announced a new dynamic power device analyzer with double-pulse tester (PD1500A) to deliver reliable, repeatable measurements of wide-bandgap (WBG) semiconductors, while ensuring the safety of the measurement hardware and the professionals performing the tests.

The Open Eye Consortium announced the establishment of its Multi-Source Agreement (MSA) outlining its mission to standardize advanced specifications for lower latency, more power efficient and lower cost optical modules targeting 50Gbps, 100Gbps, 200Gbps, and up to 400Gbps optical modules for datacenter interconnects over single-mode and multimode fiber.

MACOM, announced an analog and silicon photonics portfolio for seamless integration in 50Gbps, 100Gbps, 200Gbps and 400Gbps optical modules targeted for compliance with the newly formed Open Eye Multi-Source Agreement (MSA).

At PCIM 2019, imec, announced that it demonstrated a functional GaN half-bridge monolithically integrated with drivers. Mounted on a buck-convertor test board, the chip converts an input voltage of 48 Volt to an output voltage of 1 Volt, with a pulse width modulation signal of 1 MHz.
