number of radio chains (up to 16), both
transmit and receive functionality, with
high bandwidths available (1 GHz per
radio chain with possibility to extend to
3 GHz), and able to be optimized for high
dynamic range or aggressive channelmasking applications as required."
Malatest said the company's products
have been used in each stage of a product lifecycle. "Where the initial stages of
R&D are typically serviced by our stock
products, we do work with our customers
to ensure we optimize the platforms to
meet their specific production or fieldtest requirements." This optimization can
include the incorporation of additional IP;
development of custom radio stages to
accommodate noise, filtering, or channelmasking requirements; and mechanical
and environmental changes, he said.

RF/microwave switching
Pickering Interfaces addresses switching.
"We have focused on two areas in our
product portfolio-first, our 40-88X solid-state switch family has been updated
from a 6-GHz bandwidth to 8 GHz," said
Bob Stasonis, technical product specialist. "In addition, our microwave switching
family now has bandwidth expanded to
67 GHz. With the expansion of 5G developments and rollouts, this is an important change. Our present PXI offerings
feature 420 RF and microwave module
choices. In addition, there are presently
over 70 RF and Microwave LXI switching
systems in our catalog."
Stasonis commented on applications.
"Our RF and microwave offerings have been used primarily
in MIL/aero applications, most
of which we are not allowed to
discuss, but we assume that
a lot of our products are used
for testing communications
and radar systems," he said. "In
automotive, our impedance-controlled
fault-insertion modules are part of HILS
systems testing automotive networks.
The addition of the 67-GHz switching
products makes Pickering a provider for
testing 5G devices. We have also recently
been working in the healthcare industry
to replace older, obsolete GPIB microwave
switching."
