The team share some fingerposts – their picks of the week, in terms of announcements, developments, product releases, quotes, or anything else in the wide world of electronics, that caught their eye...
What caught my eye this week was China another $47.5bn into its chip industry on top of the $47bn already invested and raising speculation about which areas it will be invested in. It is nice to see a bit of old-fashion in an experimental RF filter that works across 3.
4 to 11.1GHz. The magnetic field biases a shaped chunk of yttrium iron garnet where the filter is implemented.
Tuning is stored without power, and the signal path fairly linear – out-of-band third order input intercept is >41dBm. What caught my eye was Redwire being chosen by the ESA to develop the prototype for the Argonaut lunar lander to support exploration of the Moon..
