Z-Communications, Inc. announces a new RoHS compliant VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator) model CRO1320A-LF for the SATCOM market. The CRO1320A-LF is designed to cover 1320 MHz with a tuning voltage range of 0.5 to 4.5 Vdc. This single frequency, high performance VCO has been optimized to feature extremely low phase noise of -120 dBc/Hz @ 10 kHz offset while operating off a 5Vdc supply and typically drawing only 29mA of current.
Averna, an industry-leading developer of test solutions and services for communications and electronics device makers worldwide, announced today that the European Space Agency (ESA) has selected Averna’s Record & Playback solution for signal analysis and monitoring of Galileo satellites.
The Electronic Packaging business unit of SCHOTT technology group of Mainz, Germany and Tesat-Spacecom GmbH of Backnang, Germany (a manufacturer of systems and equipment for telecoms via satellite) have developed a hermetically sealed package that can be used in space, and has been supporting the European Space Agency’s mini-satellite Proba-V for performing Earth observations since the beginning of May.
Northrop Grumman Corp (NYSE: NOC) recently delivered the first of approximately 20 electronics units for the fourth Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) satellite payload, allowing the integration and test phase of production to get under way.
