Electronics Industry Awards
Analog Devices are proud to be among the winners at the Electronics Industry Awards 2022
The global designer and manufacturer of analogue, mixed signal, and DSP integrated circuits won two awards at the electronics industry’s prestigious annual event
A
nalog Devices was awarded “Aerospace Military Defence Product of the Year” for ADAR4002 Powering Next- Generation Phased-Array
Antenna Systems and “Semiconductors Product of the Year” for ADXL367 – The Industry’s First Nano-power Accelerometer at the Electronics Industry Awards 2022, on 27th October at the Grand Connaught Rooms, Covent Garden, London.
Jackie Rutter, senior director of marketing and demand generation, Analog Devices, said: “We are extremely pleased to win prestigious Electronics Industry Awards for two of our solutions: our beamformer ADAR4002 solution for its outstanding performance and technical abilities, and our MEMS accelerometer and gyroscope ADXL367 solution as the semiconductor product of the year as well as the most innovative semiconductor product on the market for its exceptional technical ability, originality and performance.”
Rutter continued: “Gathering votes from the industry and an independent expert jury, these
awards truly give a voice to the electronics industry. Analog Devices’ approach to solving customer application challenges across a range of markets is evident in our award-winning products. Our technology has been recognised several times in the past by the Electronics
Industry Awards, and this is the second year in a row that we have won with products from our beamformer portfolio. It’s great to see that our continued efforts and investments in innovation are making a strong impact across the industry and continue to benefi t our customers.”
ADAR4002: Industry’s fi rst commercial solution addressing challenging SWaP requirements and providing high levels of integration Phased array antennas are the
transformational solution the industry needs to address the mega trends which are driving challenging SWaP requirements, including SATCOM, RADAR, and EW/SIGINT. When it comes to SATCOM, LEO constellation deployments are disrupting the traditional GEO deployments to provide high-speed internet connectivity globally. Higher modulation rates and wide steering angles are requiring increased instantaneous bandwidths to minimise beam squint.
With RADAR, hybrid beamforming solutions are often used which require analog beamforming at the element to provide a level of
spatial fi ltering as a means for anti-jamming. Increasingly there is a need for this technology to be deployed in space for earth observation.
These arrays can be very large where the time from one corner of the array to the other corner would need to be compensated to minimise dispersion effects.
A single, multi-purpose software-defi ned aperture is the end goal, with digitisation as close to the element as possible for EW/ SIGINT. Wide instantaneous bandwidths are required to address this application space. To solve the challenges in these megatrends, Analog Devices has developed this single, ultra-low power part that has the required wide instantaneous bandwidth, small size with very high levels of integration, the ability to be used in space, and harsh terrestrial applications.
ADXL367: Industry’s fi rst nano power accelerometer Since we have become accustomed to recharging anything from our phones to now even our cars, an ultra-low power accelerometer may seem irrelevant. However, there are still many things in the world that need to operate on primary cell batteries and/ or have mission profi les that require battery lifetime to be measured not in hours and days, but months, years, and decades. This product offers two types of benefi ts.
The fi rst is clearly in reducing energy consumption in systems that need to sense

motion on a 24/7 basis. These could be medical monitors for in-patient or chronic care, hearing aids, medical implantables such as cardiac monitors, neurostimulation devices, pacemakers, and other new applications hitting the market in the future. In fact, Analog Devices offers a medical implantable quality grade option suitable for FDA Class 3 devices and is the market leader in mission critical inertial sensors for the healthcare industry. In addition to healthcare applications, there are a host of other applications for monitoring the activity of humans and animals that need to minimise power consumption such as high- end wearables, earbuds, animal trackers and monitors, etc.
The second type of applications which
benefi t from Analog Devices’ solution are ones that use it to reduce and manage the system-level power consumption of the end equipment. The accelerometer comes with many integrated features that effectively turn it into a very low current consuming event detector and motion switch. Example applications include key fobs, security systems for homes and vehicles, tamper protection on utility meters, event detection for Industrial IoT (IIoT) systems and others.
