Wide Frequency Range Power Sensor
LadyBug Technologies announced its fully self-contained 9 kHz to 40 GHz Wideband RF and microwave power sensor. The highly accurate sensor is suitable for laboratory use, EMC testing, Satcom and Defense applications. It can be interfaced using its USB HID, USBTMC or can be directly controlled through its I2C or SPI, serial microcontroller interfaces. These options make the sensor ideal for automated test equipment. All interfaces use standard SCPI commands. The USBTMC interface makes it a drop-in replacement for similar competitive sensors.

Fully Differential Amplifiers/ADC Drivers
Analog Devices announced the LTC6363-0.5, LTC6363-1 and LTC6363-2 Precision, Fixed-Gain, Fully Differential Amplifiers, creating a family of ultra-precision fixed-gain variants of the successful LTC6363 amplifier. The new offerings are available in fixed gains of 0.5, 1 and 2V/V which provide flexibility when scaling inputs to the full range of ADCs. The precision resistors, which are integrated in LTC6363-0.5, LTC6363-1 and LTC6363-2, have been designed with overall system performance in mind, striking a balance between noise and linearity, and utilizing laser trimmed factory calibration to achieve a level of precision which is difficult and costly to achieve discretely.

52 GHz Bandwidth Socket
Ironwood Electronics introduced a new high performance elastomer socket for 0.65mm pitch BGA package. The SG25-BGA-2051 socket is designed for a 8mmx8mm package size and operates at bandwidths up to 52 GHz with less than 1dB of insertion loss (GSSG configuration). The contact resistance is typically 20 milliohms per pin. Network analyzer reflection measurements for the G-S-S-G case were taken with all except the pins under consideration terminated into 50 Ohms.

Auto Radar Echo Generator
The R&S AREG100A automotive radar echo generator reliably tests radar sensors in the 24 GHz ISM band and in the E band at 77 GHz or 79 GHz. It simulates echoes of up to four artificial target objects at fixed distances. User-configurable Doppler offsets can optionally be applied to simulate radial movement of the objects. The R&S AREG100A is a future-proof solution for testing advanced long-range and short-range radars. It supports bandwidths up to 4 GHz in the E band and can simulate objects at a minimum distance of 4 m if the distance between the frontend and the DUT is 80 cm.
