Aspen brings Exodus to the UK and launches with three new SSPAs
A
spen Electronics has become the UK distributor for Exodus Advanced Communications.
Headquartered in Henderson, Nevada, the primary focus for Exodus is the design and manufacture of RF & Microwave Solid State Power Amplifiers for commercial and military applications. Exodus products feature LDMOS, GaN, GaAsFET discrete and Chip & Wire Hybrid technologies with amplifier designs covering octave through decade frequency ranges from 0.01MHz to 40.0GHz – with power levels exceeding 1kW for modules and 10kW for ‘rack mount’ amplifiers. Of initial interest will be their range of high power Solid State Power Amplifiers, particularly three newly released state of the art, SSPAs products.
The AMP1025 model covers 20 to 1000MHz and is a compact 70W Broadband module using Class AB linear LDMOS Devices with 5uSec on/off switching speed. It has a large Signal Gain of 48.5dB min. and a Psat output power of 70 Watts min (80 Watts typ.). The 2-Tone
Intermodulation (IMD) is >30dBc typ. The AMP1021X2 is a very compact (60mm x 50mm x 11mm) GaN based amplifier covering the frequency range 225 to 2600MHz. With a Psat output power of 7W min, 10W typical, plus a gain of 39dB, the current draw is just 1.4A typical. Total weight is just 57gramms. Lastly, the AMP2035 is a 6 to 18GHz, 10W Ultra Broadband System featuring Class AB linear GaAs FET design in a small and lightweight benchtop chassis. Power Output is 10 Watts min. with a large Signal Gain of 43dB min. and 2-tone Intermodulation (IMD) of >30dBc typ. In general, Exodus Advanced Communications is committed to providing the best in RF products, systems and related services with in- house resources that include RF circuit designs up to 47GHz.; prototype verification; system level mechanical & electrical design; digital circuit design and control software development.

Micronel launches its most powerful high pressure dc blower so far, and it’s still only 85mm diameter…
M
icronel have further expanded its range of high performance radial blowers with its most powerful model yet, the U85MX radial blower can produce up to 16000
pascals of static pressure and up to 1000 litres per minute free blowing airflow all in a package size under 85mm diameter. Combining high performance in a minimum of space, the 24vdc U85MX blower is capable of high rotation speeds up to 46000 rpm, dynamic speeding up and braking combined with minimal noise. Operating in a voltage range of 15vdc – 24vdc the efficient energy saving 125W BLDC motor only draws 2.5 to 8.5 amps depending upon working point. The U85MX blowers are also available with built in integrated brushless dc motor drivers allowing plug and run capability with optional functions for integrated speed control input, tacho/
frequency signal outputs, ON / OFF control by logic signals, locked rotor protection, 16 kV ESD Protection, over temperature and polarity protection. Micronel specialise in high performance blowers and fans, their fan and blower products meet the needs of industries with special performance characteristics – medical, electronics cooling, personal protection, packaging, gas analysis, laboratory, transportation, process control and many more applications. Micronel offer customers the widest choice of standard ultra-slim fans, axial fans and high performance high pressure radial blowers from UK stock and provide technical design support for modified products and client specific designs.

Charcroft introduces new multi-turn non-contacting rotary position sensors from TT Electronics
C
harcroft Electronics announces the introduction of TT Electronics’ MagnePot 8150 series of high- performance multi-turn non-contacting rotary position sensors.
The MagnePot 8150 position sensors
are designed to reliably operate over a minimum of 10 million shaft rotations with no signal output degradation. The combination of the latest hall effect non- contacting sensing technology and a high-performance internal bearing design
8 July/August 2016
results in a rotary position sensor with exceptional performance reliability. The non-contacting sensing technology also support clean, ratiometric absolute position outputs across multiple turns without sliding contact noise. The family provides a choice of three, five or ten turns and each sensor is powered via a 5 Vdc supply voltage. The ratiometric output range is from four per cent to 96 per cent of supply with a 12 mA maximum current rating. MagnePot
Components in Electronics
8150 sensors also feature ±0.50 per cent independent linearity as standard, with optional improvement to ±0.25 per cent. The standard operating temperature range is -40oC to +125oC. Additional options include alternative output voltages, servo mounts, non-linear outputs, IP50 or IP66 ingress protection, and severe environment versions. Sealed shafts and rear lids are also available for sensors intended for use under extreme operating conditions. These modifications
and options can be easily accommodated with competitive lead times. Typical applications for the MagnePot 8150 sensors include industrial joystick controls; factory and laboratory automation; advanced manufacturing; robotic positioning; motion control feedback; medical diagnostic equipment positioning; aircraft flight and panel controls; and vision system positioning feedback.
