GuRu Wireless has announced a mm-wave phased array with over 70,000 transmitters, intended to transmit power wirelessly to persistent drones. “Our current transmitter can deliver over a kilowatt of continuous power at distances exceeding 100 meters,” said company co-founder and CTO Behrooz Abiri. “For persistent operations, the system must be capable of delivering at least 500W to an aerial vehicle ...
Open Cosmos, the satellite mission services company, is preparing its 6GStarLab satellite for launch. It describes the craft as the first of its kind, a European laboratory to conduct in-orbit 6G experiments. The aim is to enable the experimental validation of new communication technologies in a real space environment. It is due to launch at the end of Q4 year ...
Mouser is stocking a 2.2 x 3mm Bluetooth MCU from Renesas, which can run from a 1.55V silver oxide cell. Called DA14535, it is built around an Arm Cortex-M0+ and implements Bluetooth LE 5.3. “By adding six external passives, a crystal oscillator, a power source, plus a 2.4GHz antenna, designers can build a complete Bluetooth Low Energy system for applications ...
Rutronik is aiming at tyre pressure monitoring with a 4.5 x 3.5mm DFN that contains a MEMS pressure sensor, a Bluetooth LE 5.4* radio, a microcontroller, a two-axis MEMS accelerometer and temperature sensing. It is the SMP290, made by Bosch. “Measurement data or updates can be encrypted [AES-128] for transmission with the customer-specific application software,” said the component distributor. “As ...
Knowles is aiming 1008 size (2.8 x 2.6 x 2.3mm) ceramic core RF inductors at medical and defence markets. The CL1008-2 family have copper barrier plating for non-magnetic applications and come in nine values from 12nH (at 50MHz) to 10μH (2.5MHz). The company is emphasising high Q, which for those two parts is 50 at 500MHz, and 20 at 7.9MHz ...
Infineon is expanding its offering for USB tokens, dongles, security keys, and other hardware authenticators with the ID Key S USB designed for a wide range of USB- and USB/NFC-token devices and applications and now available to early access customers.. It combines an Infineon SLC38 security controller with a USB bridge controller in one package. It supports a range of ...
Calterah believes that the Dubhe UWB SoC series is the first to comply to IEEE 802.15.4ab (PHY/MAC). The 2T4R and 1T3R SoCs are CAL1106 and CAL1104 respectively. Junming Xiao, head of Calterah‘s UWB product line, explained that they support RF channels 5, 6, 8 and 9 and support time of flight (ToF), PDoA and TDoA (phase difference of arrival and ...
Murata claims to be first to mass produce and ship a high-frequency filter using XBAR technology. Developed by combining the company’s proprietary SAW filter expertise with XBAR technology from Murata’s subsidiary Resonant, it enables the extraction of desired signals while achieving both low insertion loss and high attenuation. These features are critical for the latest wireless technologies, including 5G, Wi-Fi ...
Taoglas, the antenna specialist, has brought out a roof mount antenna designed for connected vehicle fleets across emergency services, utilities, and commercial sectors which integrates up to 18 antenna elements. Called the Patriot series, the antenna supports 5G and 4G cellular (600–6000 MHz), with both dual-band GNSS (L1 and L1/ L5) and a secondary GNSS (L1), Wi-Fi (2.4, 5.8, and ...
Qorvo’s QPA1314 is a packaged high power MMIC amplifier, fabricated on Qorvo’s production 0.15 um GaN on SiC process (QGaN15). QPA1314 is targeted for 13.75 – 14.5 GHz Satcom band. Linear power is 20 W with 25 dBc third order intermodulation distortion products. It provides 40 W of output power with 27 dB of large signal gain while achieving 30% ...
