Renesas Electronics introduced its latest radiation-hardened devices – the ISL70591SEH and ISL70592SEH precision current sources, designed to deliver ultra-high performance, small footprint, and ease of use required in the most demanding environments, including telemetry, tracking & command, attitude & orbital control, and electrical power subsystem applications. The new devices are Renesas’ first current source ICs in […]
GPS, Part 1: Basic principles
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a worldwide, RF wireless-based system for determining where you are anywhere in the Earth’s surface if there is line-of-sight visibility to at least four of its orbiting satellites. The availability of GPS since its inception a few decades ago has not only enabled products and features which were simply […]
Aerospace-qualified MLCCs now come in 0402 and 2220 case sizes
AVX Corporation has extended its range of space-level ESCC QPL 3009/041 X7R base metal electrode (BME) multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) — the first range of ESCC BME MLCCs fully qualified for use in European, Asian, and American space market applications — with new 0402 and 2220 case sizes. Now available in seven case sizes spanning 0402 […]
Electromechanical relay switches operate up to 26.5 GHz
Pasternack has released a new line of electromechanical relay switches in popular configurations that operate from DC up to 26.5 GHz and feature a D-SUB multi-pin connector interface for secure and reliable DC voltage and command control functions. D-SUB multi-pin connectors provide a solderless, press fit reliable I/O connection that can be permanently locked down […]
Space-level MLCCs approved to MIL-PRF-32535 deliver 39x more capacitance
AVX Corporation now offers a space-level, X7R base metal electrode (BME) MLCCs with “M” and “T” reliability levels approved to the Defense Logistics Agency’s (DLA’s) MIL-PRF-32535 specification. Exhibiting high CV capabilities superior to those of precious metal electrode (PME) MLCCs, which have long been the standard for the global aerospace industry, AVX’s leading-edge, space-level, X7R BME […]
PLOs sport output frequencies to 6 GHz
Pasternack has unveiled a new line of phase -ocked oscillators (PLOs) that deliver accurate and stable output frequencies with low phase noise and spurious performance, making them ideal for use in radar and other exciter or frequency generation applications. Typical applications include phase-locked loops, frequency synthesizers function generators and as a local oscillator source in […]
Waveguide-to-coax adapters cover 1.7 to 110 GHz
These waveguide-to-coax adapters are offered in a broad selection of waveguide sizes, flanges, connectors and materials. They support 13 different types of coax connectors and are available with UG (square/round cover), CMR, CPR and UDR-style flanges. These waveguide to coax adapters deliver VSWR performance as low as 1.2:1 and can be constructed from aluminum, gold-plated […]
