Intertek House Spatium Ultra-broadband Power Amplifier CAP Wireless, Inc. has announced the CHPA0618-1 ultrabroadband power amplifier for broadband military platforms within the defense electronics and homeland security industries. The unit incorporates gallium arsenide (GaAs) monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) technology into CAP’s patented Spatium™ broadband spatial combining architecture to achieve outstanding solid state power levels across the amplifier’s extended 6-18 GHz frequency range. The CHPA0618-1 is ideally suited for wideband applications such as electronic counter measures (ECM), laboratory instrumentation, and electromagnetic compatability/electromagnetic interference (EMC/EMI) test, as well as narrower band applications like radar, microwave imaging, and satellite communications. For more information, please visit www.capwireless.com. Intertek tests products to ensure safety and performance. Safety standards protect the public against fire and shock hazards, while performance testing can ensure that only reliable and quality products make it to market. From the car in your garage to the baby monitor in the bedroom, Intertek tests the products you and your family use every day. For more information, please visit http://www. intertek-etlsemko.com/house. SafeOne™ Personal RF Monitor LBA Technology, Inc. has announced a personal RF monitor. SafeOne™ will monitor the strength of electromagnetic (RF) fields from mobile phone towers, radio and television installations, high frequency welders, and other common workplace RF sources between 10 and 10,000 MHz. The personal RF monitor is an important tool in complying with FCC, OSHA, and other safe workplace requirements. The monitor provides an audio and visual warning when the OSHA and ICNIRP limit is exceeded on the wearer’s body. SafeOne™ gives an approximate value of RF strength to help determine how long the worker can stay in the radiation field. SafeOne™ is the size of a cell phone and weighs less than three ounces. It ships complete with ballistic nylon work 7 Conformity oCtober 2008 http://www.electrostandards.com/ProductDetail/?productid=1786 http://www.agilent.com/find/33210A http://www.gigatronics.com http://www.codde.fr/eng/Accueil.html http://www.intertek-etlsemko.com/house http://www.intertek-etlsemko.com/house http://www.capwireless.com
