The U8176LF is the world’s smallest ASIC based OCXO (Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillator) designed to meet the most stringent requirements for 5G Remote Radio Head (RRH), small cell, optical network, and microwave transmission system applications.
Bliley Technologies offers the HYAS GPS disciplined Master Reference Oscillator (MRO) designed to provide precision timing and reference frequencies for small satellite platforms in many applications including tracking, communication, and earth observation.
D-TA offers the open-architecture MFEL-5000 as the most advanced and most cost effective ELINT solution in the market. The MFEL5000 uses dual antennas (OMNI & Spinner DF), dual receivers, and a large data storage server for multi-core software processing, recording, and analysis of signals of interests (SOIs).
Empower RF Systems offers the SKU 2225 long duty cycle pulsed amplifier operating from 5.2 to 5.9 GHz for EW, radar, directed energy and satcom applications where tens and hundreds of kilowatts of CW and Pulse power are required. With new modern architecture, this SSPA offers scalability for affordable upgrade paths to future power needs by adding hardware to an existing system.
MtronPTI offers the UFDX9999-002 C-band cavity diplexer/splitter assembly designed to support rugged, high-performance communication links that require full duplex operation in airborne, land, maritime, and deep space applications.
Comtech’s latest development continues to expand on its innovative integrated RF GaN Power Amplifier designs by further increasing the bandwidth and power density. Comtech proudly introduces the Model BME49189-50, the latest in GaN-based 4 – 18 GHz RF amplifiers.
Gain control over your backup storage environment. Proliferating backups and management tools can make life complicated for storage professionals. Bocada brings it all together to make your life easier. Clear and simple storage reporting, storage utilization alerting, and predictive storage analytics makes it easy to stay on top of backup storage trends, eliminate fire drills, and minimize budget overruns.
Characterization of the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) is critical to designing a successful formulation approach. CoreRx can evaluate the characteristics of your API, conduct small scale studies to understand key parameters around solubility and stability, and perform excipient compatibility studies to identify the right ingredients to enhance your APIs performance across a variety of dosage forms. Further, CoreRx has brought on-board various technologies to control and reduce particle size, which among other things, can greatly enhance the bioavailability of your compound.
