Low Noise Millimeter-Wave Broadband Mixer Subsystem for EW/ECM/ELINT Requirements
MITEQ’s new Model SYS0216N01R-LNB millimeter-wave dual-channel block converter covers two bands over 18 to 40 GHz. One channel converts 18 to 26 GHz down to an 8 to 16 GHz output, and the second converts 26 to 40 GHz down to a 2 to 16 GHz output. This compact 2 ½” x 3” unit is shown above, and with optional local oscillators, this unit is now configured as a low noise block converter (LNB). The converter is ideal for broadband millimeter-wave receivers such as for EW/ECM/ELINT requirements or test equipment frequency extension. The unit employs LO multipliers to facilitate the use of lower frequency microwave LO’s. This model is designed for military environments.
Broadband Power Amplifier Family
A series of 6-8, 12-18 and 8-18 GHz amplifiers are introduced by MITEQ Inc., covering 30 dBm to 34 dBm. The Model AMF-8B-08001800-40-33P delivers over 33 dBm of power over full band of 8-18 GHz, with over 40 dB gain and ±2.5 dB flatness. Noise figure is less than 4 dB, port VSWR is less than 2:1, and it draws about 3A from a single +12 to +15V DC supply. The housing has a footprint of only 3” by 1.9” and 0.9” high with SMA connectors. Heatsink and other control features are also available as options.  

  

[The MSO for the broader market ...]
The highly successful HMO series have been extended. While, up until now, only instruments from 250…350MHz were offered at prices above € 3,000, HAMEG has also addressed the range from 70…200MHz.
Eight new oscilloscopes have been been presented in March 2011. The 4 channel, 70 and 100MHz instruments is available since the end of May, with the other models to follow in July. In terms of the operation and the front panel interface, the new instruments hardly differ from the existing HMO series products. A Component Tester was added which is highly appreciated in this class. Using the known option HO3508 allows for eight digital channels to be analyzed. The I2C, SPI and UART/RS-232 trigger and decode option HOO11 (licence key) is new; in the first year of introduction, it will be delivered with the instruments free of charge.
Hence even with the 2 channel instrument, an I2C, SSPI and UART/RS-232 signal can be analyzed without any additional accessories.
For the 3-wire SPI bus the 2 channel instrument requires just one additional probe for the external trigger input.
The new HMO’s are only 140 mm deep and may be stacked – as to be expected – on every other HAMEG instrument.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

 

Obsolescence announcement !!
After 40 years in production, Kaman Precision Products is announcing the obsolescence of the KD-2300 product. Many circumstances have contributed to this decision, component obsolescence being the biggest driver. The replacement product, the KD-2306, has been in production since 2007 and has proven to be a very worthy improvement of what was certainly the benchmark for all non-contact inductive displacement sensors. Key dates to remember are: Effective immediately, Kaman will no longer sell the KD-2300 into new applications. December 31, 2011, all sales of the KD-2300 will cease. December 31, 2014, Kaman will no longer support the KD-2300 product with service/repair. The new version of the old benchmark offers higher gain voltage output, as well as 4-20 mA output. It is housed in a convenient DIN rail mount enclosure and is CE marked as well as being RoHS compliant. The KD-2306 is offered with all the sensor models that were available with the KD-2300.
