1. Wideband I/Q
data recorder

2. Programmable linear
AC power sources

The R&S IQW100 brings signals
from the real world into the
laboratory to simulate realworld test environments, used
in combination with selected
midrange R&S signal analyzers
and generators. The R&S IQW100
supports recording and replaying
signals with bandwidths up to
200 MHz and sampling rates up
to 250 MS/s. Typical applications
for the R&S IQW100 are signals
for cellular communication, EME,
GNSS, or radio or TV broadcast.
Users can record signals acquired
with the analyzer in any chosen
environment, then replay the
recorded signals using the
generator.

Pacific Power Source has
introduced a new range of
precision programmable linear AC
power sources for a wide range
of AC power test applications.
This new LMX Series consists
of over 20 different models
ranging in power from 500VA to
30,000VA. Compared to more
commonplace PWM switching
AC power sources, the LMX
Series uses linear technology
to offer high performance with
respect to output noise, voltage
distortion, output impedance
and peak current capability. The
LMX Series also offers a 15Hz to
5,000Hz output frequency range
which is higher than most switch
mode AC power sources.

3. SSD NAND and 3D
XPoint zero-footprint
test sockets
Ironwood Electronics has a
complete line of NAND, controller,
and buffer sockets used in solid
state drives, cards and modules.
The zero footprint (Grypper)
sockets are available for the
NAND and open NAND flash
interface (ONFi) Standard and
also sockets for the new 3D
XPoint devices. The socket is
surface mounted, using standard
soldering methods to the same
location on the PCB. The Grypper
requires no lid-the device simply
snaps into the socket. Because
the Grypper contacts are only
1.5 to 2.2 mm long, the electrical
performance is S21 @ -1bd to 40
GHz.

4. Three-axis miniature
gimbal mounts
OES' new three-axis miniature
gimbal mounts have heights
less than 170 mm (6.693 inch).
These compact, motorized,
high accuracy yaw, pitch, and
roll stages are suitable for:
Prototype development, reverse
engineering, for use with a CMM,
laser scanning, and in robotic or
manual assembly when exposure
to multiple surfaces is required.
The YPR60-60-60-01 (stepper
motor driven - pictured), the
YPR60-60-60-02 (brushless servo
motor driven) and the YPR60-6060-03 (DC servo motor driven) are
stacked precision rotary stages
with positional accuracies of 0.05
degrees, repeatability of +/- 0.01
degrees.
