ADI’s ADF5610 fractional-N synthesiser covers 55MHz to 15GHz, and is claimed to have “industry’s lowest phase noise performance on a single chip” by its maker. Fabbed on a SiGe BiCMOS process, at 10GHz VCO phase noise is -114dBc/Hz at 100kHz offset and -165dBc/Hz at 100MHz offset. Normalized phase noise floor is -229dBc/Hz. Typical output power is ...

China’s memory companies are looking to start volume production next year, reports Digitimes. Yangtze River, owned by Tsinghua Unigroup, is the most advanced – running 5k wafers a month of 32-layer NAND. It is building capacity for 100k wpm for 2020 and an eventual capacity of 350-400k wpm out of three fabs. The other two ...

Current satellite communication systems use static beams, with little or no options of adjusting beam capacity to a varying demand. Beam hopping, based on the DVB-S2X broadcasting standard, allows redirecting capacity between beams, making satellite systems more flexible and efficient. Working with WORK Microwave and Eutelsat, the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS has successfully ...
