Aaeon Unveils Two Diagnostic Medical Stations Aaeon, a medical product manufacturer, has introduced two medical stations: the Onyx-175X and the Onyx-195X. The Onyx-175X/-195X diagnostic medical stations are based on the Intel Core 2 Duo processor, which is claimed to deliver a performance improvement of more than 100 per cent, compared to systems running on traditional single-core processors. With two cores, or computing engines, the units can simultaneously execute two computing tasks. Each station accommodates one 2.5in (6.4cm) SATA hard disk drive and up to 2Gb DDR SODIMM. The Onyx-175X are the Onyx-195X are equipped with the ATI E2400 MXM Graphic module, which offers powerful graphics performance for any application. The stations are 17in/19in units with 300-nits TFT displays and 1,280 x 1,024 resolutions. These two models have built-in radio-frequency identification (RFID) and smart card reader security. It also features two isolated Gigabit local-area networks (LANs) and fo...

LDMOS Transistors Aid Design Of Wireless Stations Infineon Technologies AG has introduced a range of high-power LDMOS transistors for the design of broadband wireless-network base stations. The transistors, introduced at the IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium, feature power levels up to 300W and video-bandwidth exceeding 90MHz. They support the high peak-to-average power ratios and high data-rate specifications required for the evolution from 3 to 4G wireless networks. The new transistor range achieves higher gain and higher power-density than alternative devices operating in the 1.4 - 2.6GHz cellular bands. This allows the use of packages with a 30 per cent smaller footprint, to enable smaller and lower cost amplifier designs. High peak-power is valuable for Doherty-based amplifier designs, as well as for reducing parts count in other architectures. Illustrative performance of the new transistors, in a two-carrier WCDMA signal at 2170 MHz, 30V, 8dB PAR and 3.84MHz channe...
