SUPPLEMENT ELECTRONICA 2016 AIM-TTI TO SHOWCASE LATEST SERIES OF HIGH PERFORMANCE PULSE GENERATORS AT ELECTRONICA
pulse width and delay, and asynchronous operation with minimal jitter. Existing dedicated pulse generators have their
origins in the analogue world and typically retain function-specific hardware blocks to achieve performance. By contrast these new generators perform all of their functionality within the digital domain using very high levels of integration. This series can generate pulses from 1mHz up to
A
im-TTi has launched a series of high performance pulse generators that achieves a
new price/performance point. The four models in the new TGP3100 Series are true pulse generators, single or dual channel, operating at up to 50MHz. Unlike DDS function generators that also
incorporate a pulse generator capability, the TGP3100 series has a dedicated pulse generator architecture enabling a much higher resolution of
50MHz with pulse width and delay resolutions of 100ps. Independently variable rise and fall times can be set from 5ns up to 800 seconds. PWM and PDM (pulse width and pulse delay
modulation) are incorporated but, unlike most other pulse generators, AM, FM, PM, SUM, FSK and BPSK modulations are also possible. Double pulse and user-defined pulse pattern
operation is available, the latter having up to 65536 bits. PRBS (Pseudo-Random Bit Sequence) sequence patterns can be created with lengths
between 127 and 8,388,607 bits. Time delay compensated external triggering
allows asynchronous pulse generation with variable delay and minimal jitter. An external width mode allows asynchronous pulse reconstruction. A high drive capability output stage can achieve
20 volts pk-pk into a 50Ohm load. Fully variable output voltage can be load impedance compensated over a wide range with a minimum output level of 10mV pk-pk. In addition to their operation as true pulse
generators, the TGP3100 series can act as high performance noise generators and as full arbitrary/function generators making them truly universal waveform generators. Sine waves are available up to 50MHz and
fifteen other standard waveforms are provided. Arbitrary waveforms have 16bit resolution with an 800MS/s sample rate. Hall A1 Stand 425
NEW RF CONNECTOR SYSTEM FOR SMALL CELLS TO MAKE DEBUT APPEARANCE
Huber+Suhner, in partnership with Radiall and Rosenberger, is developing a new RF connector system for small cell applications, which will make its debut at Electronica 2016. As the telecommunications industry moves towards smaller
equipment and small cell approach, the radios and antennas also become more compact demanding high-performing coaxial RF connectors in a small size. By joining the expertise of three leading RF connector manufacturers in the telecommunications industry, the target has been to develop a small coaxial connector system, which will meet existing and future demands
of small cell networks for 4G and upcoming 5G networks. The highlights of the NEX10 connector system are its robustness, small size, PIM stability and flexibility of
different coupling mechanisms, such as torque/screw and push-pull. The minimum flange height is 12.7mm. The NEX10 interface’s robust design eliminates any damage or operator errors during installation and is optimised for cable sizes of up to ¼” corrugated cables. The weather protection boot, which is part of the interface, makes it optimum for outdoor use under extreme weather conditions. “By combining the expertise of Huber+Suhner, Radiall and Rosenberger, we are creating an interface which
can meet challenges of low PIM and robustness in a small size for small cells and DAS applications,” was a joint statement issued by the NEX10 consortium members. “Electronica 2016 marks the first time that NEX10 will be demonstrated to the public before its scheduled 2017 launch and we are very much looking forward to showcasing this partnerships’ innovation.” Stand 562
50 YEARS OF SWITCHES
knitter-switch is once again exhibiting at electronica. 2016 marks a special anniversary for the company as it celebrates it’s 50th year at the forefront of electronic switching. The company will be exhibiting its new products and will be on hand to discuss its latest switch developments, specific applications and the new products included in the company’s 2016/17 product catalogue. Visitors to the knitter-switch booth will also
be the first to get a copy of the new 2016/17 switch catalogue. Key focus areas of the company’s booth will
include detector switches and capacitive switches. Detector-switches are used for recognition of variation or manipulation of movable or removable
parts.The capacitive switches from knitter-switch, series CTK, are an alternative to the popular anti-vandal pushbuttons: Their IK-rating (mechanical resistance of the visible parts) of IK10 conform to highest requirement categories. Hall B5 Stand 273
AWS TO DEMONSTRATE EMS SERVICES AND FAST PROTOTYPING THROUGH PCBA AND BOX BUILD
AWS Electronics Group is exhibiting at Electronica 2016. The company claims it has experienced continuous, significant growth in recent years: this year the company will finish with a revenue growth of between 15-20% year on year. There are several factors which are driving this expansion. A few years ago, the company consolidated its UK facilities into one operation in Newcastle-under-Lyme, where it has invested in automation, real time scanning control systems and a dedicated fast track manufacturing area. At the same time the company invested and expanded a mirror image plant in Námestovo, Slovakia specifically to support customers in Central Europe, and to be

able to offer customers anywhere the benefits of low manufacturing and labour costs. Secondly the company continuously invests in
its facilities and equipment. In the UK a specialist high voltage area was added earlier this year, and in Slovakia, the floor space was doubled in the summer to accommodate a second dedicated automotive production line. The equipment in both facilities is the same, now encompassing nine surface mount lines and 23 pick and place machines, plus AOI, X-Ray and other specific test equipment. A company-wide real time operational control system implements Industry 4.0 practices to deliver exemplary customer support. Hall C4 Stand 425
