If you stop at Analog Devices booth, you will see the ADRF6655 active mixer and ADRF6510 dual-programmable filter and variable gain amplifier. These RFICs are suited for broadband communications systems that reduce component count by more than 75 percent, without compromising performance. They integrate multiple functions and discrete devices into a single monolithic chip, reducing component count by a factor of four when compared to traditional discrete RF designs.

Rohde&Schwarz is showcasing the FSU high-end spectrum analyzer which offers versatile resolution filters, a full choice of detectors, up to 70 measurements/s in time domain via IEC/IEEE bus (including data transfer), and a fast frequency counter with 0.1-Hz resolution in 30 ms. The analyzer also offers unmatched dynamic range (TOI typ 25 dBm, 1-dB compression, 13 dBm). Phase noise is typically –133 dBc (1 Hz) at 640-MHz offset and typically –160 dBc (1 Hz) at 10-MHz offset. Additional features include a display linearity of less than 0.1 dB, and 84-dB ACLR/3GPP with noise correction.

NXP Semiconductors (booth#3324) today announced the launch of a series of new products developed in the latest SiGe (silicon-germanium) process technology. Addressing the industry’s growing demand for more robust, cost-effective and highly integrated silicon-based technology, NXP will offer a total of more than 50 products based on SiGe:C by end of 2010. Delivering high power gain and excellent dynamic range, NXP’s QUBiC4 SiGe:C process is specifically designed to meet the needs of real-life, high-frequency applications in the wireless, broadband communications, networking, and multimedia markets.

Omron Electronic Components (booth#3204) is exhibiting for the first time at MTT-S and they are showing a demo for their RF MEMS switch (based on MEMS technology). This part gives all the advantages of electromechanical relays. It measures only 5.2 x 3.0 x 1.8 mm, and offers an expectancy rating of 100 million operations, testing beyond 1 Billion operations, and a power consumption of 10 µW max. The part also offers frequency characteristics up to a rated bandwidth of 8 and 10 GHz typ.
