ANAPICO
Introducing the APMSYN40: RF Synthesizer Module – 1 MHz to 40 GHz.
The frequency synthesizer has a frequency range of 1 MHz to 40 GHz, a switching time of approximately 50 μs, and an output power range of -30 to +25 dBm. SSB phase noise at 20 kHz offset from a 1 GHz carrier is -142 dBc/ Hz, with a 10 GHz carrier, it is -125 dBc/ Hz. The resolution is 1 mHz for frequency, 0.1° for phase, and 0.5 dB for power. Frequency accuracy is calibrated to 30 ppb and temperature stability 100 ppb over the operating temperature range of 0 to 50°C.
Several of the APMSYN40 modules can be connected together using a common 1 GHz reference base to generate multi-channel phase coherent signal sources.
AMPHENOL
The first OPEN RAN antenna test center in Europe opens its doors in March 2023.
Amphenol Antenna Solutions, a leading provider of wireless infrastructure for mobile networks, opens Europe’s first test center for Open RAN active antennas. The facilities, which feature a state-of-the-art MVG SG Evo measurement system, will allow European network operators to validate the interoperability and performance of Open RAN hardware and software and find the best configuration for their needs.
Operators will be able to compare antennas from different manufacturers, view 3D radiation patterns, check backbone compatibility, perform end-to-end over-the-air testing, and view traffic volume handled and electricity consumed. The center will also allow operators to understand the impact of changing a system component and perform tests to diagnose and resolve problems in the field.
FILTRONIC
Go beyond the limits of LEO applications. Filtronic expands its presence in the satellite communications market.
Filtronic, designer and manufacturer of products and subsystems for the aerospace, defense, telecommunications infrastructure, space and critical communications markets, has announced the award of a new contract with one of the world’s leading providers of satellite communications equipment in Low Earth Orbit (LEO).
In recent years, a lot of work has been done to develop air communication networks that overcome the limitations of terrestrial networks. The design of these systems poses a number of challenges, one of which is the development of communications transport links that offer sufficient bandwidth and range to provide full connectivity.
