Electrostatic discharge testing is utilized worldwide by electronics manufacturers to determine the ESD susceptibility of their devices. It is extremely difficult to estimate the exact cost of ESD loss annually, but it can safely be stated that ESD requires the development and testing of many hardware prototypes and contributes to a high number of warranty claims and loss of consumer confidence if failure occurs in the hands of the customer. Given the high cost in time and materials associated with ESD hardware testing, the ability to simulate the ESD testing process in XFdtd is extremely valuable, allowing engineers to pinpoint locations susceptible to ESD damage and optimize ESD mitigation during the concept and design stage of product development.

Design requirements for 24 GHz and 77 GHz automotive radar sensors are becoming more stringent as consumers increase demand for applications like blind spot detection (BSD) and lane change assistance (LCA). In turn, the engineering departments at Tier 1 suppliers like Delphi, Autoliv, and Continental are advancing technology in order to win bids from OEMs like BMW, Audi, and Chrysler.
Simulation technology has also advanced to meet design requirements. Remcom offers an integrated approach from sensor design to drive test scenarios.
Qorvo’s QPA2225D is a wide band MMIC driver amplifier fabricated on Qorvo’s production 0.15 um GaN on SiC process (QGaN15). Covering 28 – 38 GHz, the QPA2225D provides > 0.4 W of saturated output power with >23 dB of small-signal gain.
Corry Micronics unveils the industries’ fastest, most broadband, ultra-compact, high power pin diode switch at IMS 2019. This switch combines ultra-fast switching speeds, broadband coverage, extremely compact package size, and high power capabilities into one device.
Gallium nitride (GaN) technology continues to evolve, pushing the limits of what’s possible with ever-increasing power density, reliability and gain in a reduced size. No longer a technology just for defense/aerospace applications, GaN is enabling higher and higher frequencies in more complex applications, such as phased arrays, radar, base transceiver stations for 5G, cable TV (CATV), VSAT and defense communications.
Skyworks’ SKY85330-11 is an 802.11b/g/n 256 QAM WLAN RF front-end module (FEM) providing all the functionality of a fully matched power amplifier (PA), power detector, low-noise amplifier (LNA), and single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) switch. This FEM is ideal for use in, 802.11ac set-top boxes, networking, and personal computer systems, PC cards, PCMCIA cards, mini-cards, and half mini-cards, and WLAN enabled wireless video systems.
Corry Micronics offers a new family of RF integrated assemblies designed to work across multiple frequencies in a variety of applications. These RF filter and amplifier modules feature several modulation types in a modular design structure.
AR offers the Model 125S1G2z5 self-contained, air-cooled, broadband, solid-state amplifier ideal for applications where instantaneous bandwidth and high gain and linearity are required. When used with an RF sweep generator, this amplifier will nominally provide over 125 watts of power. The device is also protected from RF input overdrive by an RF input leveling circuit which controls the RF input level to the RF amplifier first stage when the RF input level is increased above 0 dBm.
Knowles Precision Devices (DLI) offers filter technology that addresses the challenge of implementing high-performance filters at mmWave frequencies. Their 26 GHz, 28 GHz, and 39 GHz filter solutions deliver 3 GHz of bandwidth, greater than 50 dB rejection, and are 20x smaller than current alternatives while implemented in surface mount packages for standard tune-free assembly. They are capable of stable operation within the -55°C to +125°C temperature range. Custom design services are available.
