  2. Alternative To Synthesizers: Integrated Stabilized RF Sources 6/21/2021

    Radar simulation systems must accurately prove whether an electronic warfare (EW) system is ready to perform reliably in the field. Some choose to use a synthesizer, but the better alternative is an Integrated Stabilized RF Source. 

  3. Power-Up Phase Determinism Using Multichip Synchronization Features In Integrated Wideband DACs And ADCs 4/26/2021

    A successful MCS process has been demonstrated using four Analog Devices’ AD9081 MxFETM ICs as the backbone of the subarray. This work is pertinent to any multichannel system present in any phased array radar, electronic warfare, instrumentation, or 5G platform.

  4. HUBER+SUHNER Develops Custom SPD For Global Radio Equipment Manufacturer 4/22/2021

    A multi-billion dollar provider of tactical communication systems for the defense industry partnered with HUBER+SUHNER to develop a custom surge protection device (SPD) compatible with their man-pack and vehicle-mounted radio equipment.

  5. Bits To Beams: RF Technology Evolution For 5G Millimeter Wave Radios 4/14/2021

    As the 5G ecosystem continues to evolve, Analog Devices will continue to bring to bear our leading-edge technologies and signal chain solutions to enable our customers to develop differentiated systems for the emerging 5G millimeter wave market.

  6. Control Non-Payload Communications (CNPC) Applications 3/11/2021

    In less than a century, humanity has grown from horse and buggy transport to taking to the skies. As this transportation technology expands, Control Non-Payload Communications (CNPC) for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), unmanned ground vehicles, RF communication systems, electronic warfare, and software-defined radios are essential to maintaining control and transferring data effectively. 

  7. SOSA And VITA: Working Together For Next-Gen Defense Systems 1/29/2021

    This article overviews the Sensor Open Systems Architecture™ (SOSA) and VMEbus International Trade Association (VITA) organizations, including their challenges, successful strategies, and illustrative examples.

  8. The Basics Of Military EMC Testing 12/22/2020

    Although the onus is not on the EMC test engineers and test laboratories to make the decisions on test levels, limits, and requirements, they are still required to identify test specifications and define test procedures, as well as perform the tests. 

  9. mmWave Designs And Custom Products For Satcom, Radar, EW, And ECM 12/14/2020

    Systems operating in the Ka-band, Q-band, and other high-frequency bands present more significant SWaP-C challenges than systems operating at lower frequencies, demanding more expertise from component designers.
