Pulse Electronics Corporation (NYSE: PULS), a leading provider of electronic components, introduces a high performance programmable antenna that enables LTE connectivity on mobile-connected laptop computers. The antenna can switch frequencies easily to accommodate both low and high operating bands. With a maximum height of 1mm, this low profile antenna fits the design of ultra thin laptops. Pulse Electronics’ new antenna enables four states for low band operation 700-750MHz (LTE low), 750-790MHz (LTE high), 820-900MHz (GSM850), and 880-960MHz (GSM900) as well as high band operation covering GSM 1800/1900/2100. The switch to change the frequency is on the same flex as the antenna, saving space and maximizing performance. To fit the ergonomic and cosmetic appearance and function of the laptop, the antenna can be implemented to the device display area and adjusted for various display sizes (as long as good grounding to the display shield can be provided). The pattern can be made plana...

Pulse Electronics Corporation (NYSE: PULS), a leading provider of electronic components, introduces a new 3-feed antenna that enables operator-independent global roaming capability for LTE mobile devices. Compatible with EPCOS RF front-end module (FEM) technology, it is the only antenna that has been proven to support 16 frequency bands, including Japanese frequency bands in the 1.5 GHz range. The Pulse Electronics 3-feed antenna optimizes performance in 700-960 MHz, 1.42-1.5 GHz, 1710-2170 MHz, and 2.3-2.7 GHz bands and supports HSPA and LTE inter-band carrier aggregation band combinations defined in 3GPP releases 9 and 10. In a simulation with an EPCOS FEM under development, it provides +2dB performance improvement at around 2 and 2.6 GHz, eases WLAN and LTE coexistence, and enables global use of a device for TDD and FDD. Because the signals from the RF front end are separated into three antenna feed points, this antenna provides the best performance on the market. It allows for ...

Pulse Electronics Corporation (NYSE: PULS), a leading provider of electronic components, introduces its new vehicular mount antenna for long term evolution (LTE), 3G, 4G, WLAN, and GPS applications. The GPSDM700/2500FFS offers the best gain on the market over multiple frequency bands. Wider frequency bands (698-960/1710-2170/2300-2700/1575 MHz) are covered in one small, compact 3.5” (88.3mm) tall, 4.16” (105.7mm) diameter at base antenna. This antenna is ideal for voice, mobile data, fixed broadband, navigation, asset tracking, fleet management, LTE, and 700 MHz public safety applications. “This new antenna is ahead of the field, offering 4G and LTE operation combined with WLAN and GPS in such a small package,” said Elaine Baxter, marketing manager for Pulse Electronics Wireless Devices Division. “It will enable our customers to differentiate their products and future-proof designs by offering 4G and LTE capability ahead of wide-scale deployment.” The broader 698-960 and 1710-217...

Amprobe introduces its suite of Navigator Clamp Meters, which provide strong troubleshooting capabilities and quick, easy-to-use, one-handed measurements. The clamps feature a unique joystick control that allows quick selection of a full range of diagnostic capabilities, including phase sequence, power and power factor, total harmonics distortion and individual harmonics, inrush current, and low pass filter. The Amprobe Navigator Clamp Meters are ideal for electrical and HVAC technicians in commercial and industrial environments. The series of CAT IV 600V and CAT III 1000V Navigator Clamp Meters can measure voltage up to 1000V AC/DC. Designed for the toughest electrical applications, these clamps can take a snapshot of harmonics and power quality issues, allowing technicians to better define why equipment may be malfunctioning and determine if more specialized tools are needed to solve the problem. The navigation system eliminates multiple and confusing push buttons, replacing th...

Amprobe Test Tools introduces the ACD-14 PLUS, a 600A clamp-on multimeter with dual display that allows simultaneous reading of amperage and voltage. Its complete set of measurement features makes it an ideal tool for HVAC and electrical applications. The ACD-14 PLUS features thinner jaws than standard clamp meters, allowing access to tight measurement areas while still accommodating conductors up to 28 millimeters. The versatile meter measures AC current to 600A, AC and DC voltage to 600V, capacitance to 3000 µF, resistance to 40MΩ, temperature (with Type-K thermocouple probe), and micro amps for testing flame sensors. It features a continuity buzzer, auto power off, and low battery indication-all in a compact and lightweight size. The ACD-14 PLUS 600A Clamp-On Multimeter with Dual Display comes complete with test leads, bead type thermocouple probe with banana plug, rubber over-molded carrying case and users manual. Optional accessories include the ELS2A line splitter and TL36A...

Four relay series make their mark in instrumentation applications and they do so like no other switching technology.  The SIL HV, SIL RF, MSRF and CR Series meet the miniature size and low profile requirements of today’s high tech designs, ranging in size from 8.6mm [0.339] to 24.13 [0.950] in length and 3.4mm [0.134] to 8.13mm [0.320] in height.  Designed to eliminate any magnetic coupling effect when stacked in matrices, they are equipped with an internal magnetic shield.  Additionally, each series offers unique switching power and RF signal capabilities ranging up to 7 GHz. The CR Series is the smallest and most versatile instrumentation grade relay capable of switching signals up to 7 GHz and producing low offset voltages less than 1 microvolt.  Both the 1 GHz MSRF and 1.5 GHz SIL RF are miniature single-in-line relays capable of switching voltages up to 200VDC and 1 amp while maintaining a consistent 100 milli-ohm on state resistance.  Both the SIL RF S...

At 10.5mm or 0.413", the KSK-1A35/1 is the world's smallest Reed Switch for high voltage applications. Its flat contact terminals provide the advantage of a large contact surface for SMD soldering and ensure exact placement during automatic assembly.  Moreover this reed switch series has a breakdown voltage minimum of 600V and a switching voltage up to 230 V.  Both attributes make the KSK-1A35/1 especially suitable for space limited high voltage applications. For automatic Pick-&-Place assembly, this component is delivered in Tape-&-Reel packaging. The KSK-1A35/1 Series is manufactured at our state-of-the-art MEDER factory in Thüringen Germany.
