May 2008 [Editorial] Making A Mid-Year Assessment At IMS Atlanta, GA is home to this year’s Microwave Theory & Techniques Society (MTT-S) symposium and exhibition, popularly known as the International Microwave Symposium (IMS) or Microwave Week. In many ways, it is a “microwave week,” since the event literally takes a slice from many people’s schedules and gathers together an interesting combination of RF/microwave industry representatives, including friends and enemies. It is a week that “stops the world” and allows colleagues to... May 2008 [Conferences] IMS Displays Microwave Advances In Atlanta MICROWAVE WEEK has become a true meeting place for members of the highfrequency industry. Part continuing education, part product showcase, and part social networking, this week-long series of events is scheduled for the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, GA from June 15-20, 2008. Organized by members of the IEEE’s Microwave Theory & Techniques Society (MTT-S), it includes the 2008 International Microwave Symposium (IMS), the 2008 radio-frequency-integrated-circuit... May 2008 [Components] Chip-Scale Packaging Approach Cuts Losses Chip-scale packaging (CSP) offers great promise for shrinking the size and cost of certain semiconductor devices. With customer pressures to reduce the size, weight, and cost of commercial semiconductors for wireless handsets, infrastructure equipment, and other commercial electronic applications, semiconductor manufacturers have sought ways to reduce the impact of packaging on their chips. Avago Technologies (... May 2008 [Defense Electronics] Synthesized LO Spans 0.05 To 20.48 GHz Direct-digital synthesis (DDS) is capable of impressive frequency and amplitude switching speeds and, depending upon the bit resolution of the DDS architecture, extremely fine frequency and phase control. DDS technology is the basis for the WaveCor line of high-performance microwave signal sources from ITT Microwave Systems (Lowell, MA), notably the firm’s latest addition, the WaveCor synthesized local oscillator (SLO) model 20.0 frequency ... May 2008 [Communications] High-Dynamic-Range Mixer Upconverts 1.5 To 3.8 GHz Active frequency mixers provide the frequency-translation function required in modern communications systems, with the added benefit of conversion gain in contrast to the conversion loss of passive mixers. Model LT5579 from Linear Technology (www.linear.com) is such an active mixer, designed for upconversion applications from 1.5 to 3.8 GHz. It offers enough bandwidth to cover the 1.9-GHz cellular... May 2008 [Book Review] Advanced Phase-Lock Techniques Phase-locked loops (PLLs) are an integral part of many communications systems. Essential for their capability of synthesizing stable output signals from tunable oscillators, such as voltagecontrolled oscillators (VCOs), the PLL has grown in importance with the growing use of digital modulation formats and design requirements to compress more information onto transmitted RF/microwave signals. For those seeking a comprehensive roadmap to the world of PLLs, there may... May 2008 [Components] VCOs Offer Linear Tuning Through 10.9 GHz Linear tuning is essential for a wide range of applications requiring frequency precision over time and temperature. The latest series of voltagetuned oscillators from Synergy Microwave (www.synergymwave.com) provide outstanding tuning linearity at frequencies through 10.9 GHz. The first three models in the DCO and DXO families of voltage-tuned oscillators provide frequency coverage of 4730 to 5420... May 2008 [Components] Custom Synthesizers Range 144 To 4500 MHz Frequency synthesizers provide the fixed and tunable signals for local oscillators (LOs) in a wide range of commercial and military communications systems, including in wireless base stations. Technologies for creating frequency synthesizers are diverse, from traditional analog methods using phase-locked loops (PLLs) to direct digital synthesizers (DDSs) that rely on high-speed digital-to-analog converters (DACs) to transform digital input words into...
