Richardson RFPD is stocking 0402 (1005 metric) glass sandwich resistors designed to work from dc to 40GHz. Made by Kyocera AVX, and called the UBR series, they measure 1 x 0.5 x 0.5mm and have a flexible termination. “‘Flexiterm’ is a surface-mountable, automotive-qualified termination that adds an extra margin of protection against damage due to flexure during installation,” according to ...

A two-chip cascading imaging radar system has been unveiled by Calterah, based on 6T-6R mmWave radar SoCs from Andes Technology. The 22nm CMOS SoCs, which will be available from June 2024, integrate an RF module and include a quad-core CPU with a DSP and proprietary radar signal processor. Flex-Cascading allows the two SoCs to be cascaded through chip-to-chip interfaces. This ...

Texas Instruments has turned to 45nm RF CMOS process to squeeze a 60GHz radar, including antenna, into an 11 x 6.7mm package only 0.8mm tall. IWRL6432AOP is an FMCW radar that works over 57 to 63.9GHz and at distances up to 25m. It includes: an RF and analogue front-end, an Arm Cortex-M3 processor to configure, control and calibrate the front-end, ...

Rohde & Schwarz is aiming at 6G and sub-THz research with W-band front-ends for an IF vector signal generator and a D-band thermal power sensor. SFI100A wideband IF vector signal generator The SFI100A wideband IF vector signal generator has been developed for early 6G research, high capacity wireless backhaul, fixed wireless access and automotive radar. With an RF modulation bandwidth ...

As the curtain has just risen on IAA Mobility 2023 in Munich on September 5, the leading Chinese provider of CMOS mmWave radar chips, Calterah, brings a most comprehensive portfolio of automotive radar SoCs at Booth A2-F31 of Mess München to the global audience. Figure 1 Visitors Showing Great Interest in Calterah mmWave Radar SoCs (please click on images to ...

The proposed shifter uses a half-mode substrate-integrated waveguide, with phase shifted in a via-pad-slot structure where a through via is attached to a pad surrounded by an annular slot. “The phase shifter does not need clean room facilities for fabrication,” said lead researcher Dr Yi Wang, and “the liquid-metal enabled phase shifting elements have a passive nature, unlike active semiconductor-based ...

Amphenol RF has introduced fixed-length cable assemblies with a straight SMA plug one one end and a right-angle SMP plug on the other. The right-angle SMP provides low mated height with no bend radius for low-headroom applications. The cable is Tflex 405 from Amphenol Times Microwave Systems, intended to be a flexible alternative to semi-rigid coax. The SMA plug has ...

CML has announced a pair of 6 – 18GHz GaAs pHEMT gain blocks with positive gain slopes up to 16GHz. CMX90G701 and CMX90G702 have gain-slopes of +1dB and +2dB respectively, and are intended to operate C, X and Ku bands for microwave back-haul, radar, satellite communications and 5G fixed wireless access. “They can also be used to eliminate passive equalisers ...

Filtronic has opened a design centre in Manchester, focused on developing mmWave technology for satellite communications, as well as hired several engineers for its design and its process engineering teams. “Establishing the new centre for satellite communication design has enabled us to expand our physical footprint across three UK locations: Sedgefield, Leeds and now Manchester, and has assisted us in ...

At Electronica 2022 we caught up with Dr Jiashu Chen, the CEO of Calterah, as part of our promotional coverage for the event. Dr Chen shares his thoughts on the outlook of automotive and industrial mmWave radar applications. With the full range of Calterah’s products on display, the company shows its technological evolution and confidence in the future of CMOS ...
