WARRIOR RF’S SYNTHESIZERS GAIN AN UPPER HAND WITH ERZIA’S SUSPENDED SUBSTRATE FILTERS

RF Synthesizers are critical instruments in many RF/microwave systems. From test laboratories to the most advanced communication platforms, they’re depended on to be stable and reliable frequency sources. As Software Defined Radio (SDR) and next-generation digital technologies are also evolving and enabling innovative approaches to generating RF signals with more complex RF modulations, the reliability of a high-performance synthesizer becomes even more critical.

Y-FACTOR VS. COLD-SOURCE NOISE MEASUREMENT OF RF/MICROWAVE LNAS

There are several methods for making noise figure (NF) measurements of RF, microwave, and millimeter-wave low noise amplifiers (LNAs), each with a wide number of options, instruments, and techniques. In a recent Tech Brief, Erzia reviews how we came up with an approach using standard laboratory equipment that can easily be followed by trained personnel working at higher frequencies to obtain optimal NF data.

NEW REPRESENTATIVE IN TURKEY

ERZIA is glad to announce the agreement with AssemCorp Elektronik A.Ş. as our new representative in Turkey. With this new partnership ERZIA expands its representative network and focus in the Turkish market, where we expect an important increase of sales of our microwave and millimeter wave modular modules for the aerospace and defence markets.

Accurate Noise Figure Measurement in ERZIA K/Ka-Band Low Noise Amplifiers for Satcom Applications

The satellite communications industry is in constant evolution, always looking for new technologies and approaches to handle the exponentially increasing traffic demand. Driven by this continuous objective, higher RF and Microwave frequency bands have been gradually introduced, initially for networks in relatively low frequencies, such as L-Band, C-Band or X-Band, then for higher frequencies like Ku-Band which is widely used nowadays. The higher the frequency, the wider the channels, so bigger data capacity is required, thus the interest in exploiting the K/Ka-Bands and Q/V Bands.

ERZIA COTS amplifier goes to space inside NASA’s Cubesat

The traditional approach to delivering hardware to be installed in satellites and space probes is driven by extensive design, analysis, and testing phases, with long-term delivery times and budgets, which can be tens or hundreds of times bigger than their equivalent for commercial and terrestrial applications. These extensive deliveries and larger budgets are justified by the expectation of the hardware to survive and operate in the extremes of the space environment, without any possibility of reparation or replacement.
