 Sam Benzacar of Anatech Electronics, an RF
and microwave filter company, has published his June 2022 newsletter that features
his short op-ed entitled "It's Official: DSRC
is Dead," where he discusses how the 1999 era (Y2K era remember?) "Dedicated
Short-Range Communications (DSRC)," which was allocated 75 MHz of spectrum at 5.9
GHz for "intelligent transportation systems," is no more. "Cellular to Everything
(C-V2X)" is its replacement. Also reported is the introduction of C-Band-proof radar
altimeters, a THz development grant to NYU's Tandon School of Engineering, and HawkEye
360 developing RF-sensing capabilities for U.S. Army. As always, Sam demonstrates

 Printed circuit boards (PCBs) can have a
major impact on electrical systems so the materials used when creating them should
be carefully considered. San Francisco Circuits has put together a "PCB Material Reference
Guide" to assist with making these decisions. Some of the key PCB characteristics
to consider include the dielectric constant, dissipation factor, thermal conductivity,
and coefficient of thermal expansion. Each is explained in detail along with some
commonly available materials by manufacturer that can be used when constructing
PCBs. A comparison chart is also included so that readers can then quickly compare
the characteristics of each material and determine what would be best for their
PCB’s specific application. This reference guide has been carefully created by the
experts at San Francisco Circuits to help readers determine the best material to
use when constructing PCBs based on their specific applications...

 Axiom Test Equipment, Inc., an electronic
test equipment rental and sales company has published a new blog post entitled "Modular
Test Solution Speed Semiconductor Testing," that explains how electronic loads
are able to enhance the performance of AC and DC power supplies and energy sources.
Connecting an AC or DC electronic load to the output of an AC or DC power supply,
respectively, enables it to replace the electronic circuitry normally at that point
in an electronic design or product and study the behavior of the power supply under
a variety of operating conditions. A power supply can be analyzed by connecting
it to a suitable-sized resistor to sink current to ground. However, such a passive
load is not representative of most actual applications. An electronic load mimics
the complexity of a real-world load with resistance, inductance, and capacitance
that can vary under changing conditions. Whether by manual tuning or programmed
under computer control, an electronic load can mimic the many different load conditions
facing a power supply...

RF and microwave filter
company, has published his June 2022 newsletter that features his short op-ed
entitled "The Millimeter-Wave Debacle Revisited," where he discusses some of the
realities that have impacted the mm-wave portion of 5G systems - the two biggest
of which are cost and lagging technology (e.g., semiconductors) to support the scheme.
Nascent 6G plans which envision spectrum operation in realms above 100 GHz
are saddled with the same limitation (at least currently) as 5G. As always, Sam

 Antenova Ltd, the UK-based manufacturer
of antennas and
RF antenna
modules for M2M and the IoT, is adding a new offering to its range of miniature
Surface Mount Designed (SMD) antennas and modules for GNSS applications. The new
antenna, Agosti, part number SR4G080, measures 9.0 x 5.8 x 1.7 mm and operates
with exceptional efficiency in a reduced space on a corner of a PCB. The key advantage
of the Agosti antenna is its small ground plane requirement. Most SMD antennas use
the surface of the PCB around the antenna as a ground plane to radiate signal from,
so it is the ground plane requirement not the physical dimensions of the antenna
that defines the space it needs. Antenova's radiated measurement results show Agosti
operating well on small ground planes of 40 x 20 mm, 70 x 25 mm and 80
x 30 mm, making it a good choice for small form factor designs...

 Axiom Test Equipment, an electronic test
equipment rental and sales company has published a new blog post entitled "Learn
When an Analyzer Makes More Sense Than a Meter," that helps identify when it's
better to pick an analyzer or a meter unit, based on the requirements you have.
Some test units, like meters, are designed for speed and simplicity and to read
a single electrical parameter, such as voltage, current, or power. Other test units
are more elaborate and are called analyzers because they not only gauge the value
of an electrical parameter, but they also enable full study of it. However, both
types of units have grown in power and sophistication and today's comparisons require
a bit more time and thought. Meters and analyzers may appear remarkably similar
at first, starting with the measurement of an electrical parameter such as voltage,
current, or power. Both types of units work with probes, sensors, or test fixtures
to determine the value of an electrical parameter for a device under test (DUT).
The meter usually gives a quick measurement, often a "one-button test," while the
analyzer may require more programming and setup time...

Antenna Pattern Editor.
Antenna Pattern Editor
2.0 is a universal tool to view, create, edit and convert antenna patterns.
See the New Features in Antenna Pattern Editor 2.0 list at the left. The main idea
embedded in the program is to provide the user with the opportunity to quickly create
an antenna pattern file using various methods. Antenna pattern file is a simple
text or xml file that describes the main characteristics of the antennas - radiation
patterns, gain, frequency range, name, manufacturer and other data. These files
are used in various radio planning tools including our RadioPlanner, Indoor Radio
Planner, and MLinkPlanner. There are a large number of antenna pattern file formats,
but it often happens that there is no file in the required format. In this case,
using the Antenna Pattern Editor, you can easily convert the file to the format
you need. Sometimes the antenna information is just a picture of the antenna pattern.
In such cases, using the Antenna Pattern Editor, you can prepare the necessary file
in just a few minutes...

 San Francisco Circuits (SFC) has released
a report on the global integrated circuits/chip shortage that has impacted numerous
industries around the world. This new
PCB Component
Shortage Report explains the key factors that have led to the shortage, how
it is currently affecting many industries, and provides multiple mitigation strategies
to help designers make it through this challenging semiconductor market. While the
global pandemic certainly contributed to the current component shortage, supply
disruptions were already happening well before factories began shutting down. Stockpiling
specialized components, designing against obsolescence, and recycling chips are
a few strategies that will help designers make it through these difficult times.
Partnering with a PCB fabrication and PCB assembly provider is another key strategy
that will help when sourcing components in short supply. SF Circuits has a
strong reputation and many connections with various suppliers...

IPP has been designing and manufacturing RF and Microwave passive components since
2005. We use the latest design tools available to build our baluns, 90 degree couplers,
directional couplers, combiners/dividers, single-ended transformers, resistors,
terminations, and custom products. For us, "Engineering Driven, Customer Focused"
is not just a tag line but the way we do business. This catalog contains a list
of our most popular products. Please visit our website for a more comprehensive
and current product listing containing detailed mechanical drawings with electrical
specifications, performance data, S-parameters, and .STP files.
Come visit us at booth #4110 at the IMS show June 21 –
