The Evolution of Broadband – Delivering Entertainment and Data – Part 2Fixed wireless access goes head-to head with optical fiberIn the first article of this two-part series, we explored the evolution of cable television (CATV) and geosynchronous satellites to deliver television and Internet access. In this article we dive into fiber optics and fixed wireless access (FWA). “Fiber optics is becoming like electricity. If you look at how electricity spread around the globe 100 years ago, that’s what’s happening now.”— Reed Hastings, co-founder of NetflixNeedless to say, the man was on to something. Optical fiber remains the gold standard for…
What made you select the Marki Microwave MPD4-0422CSP2? I wanted to feature one of Marki Microwave’s latest products coupling their compact Chip-Scale Package (CSP) to their industry leading, broadband performance. The MPD4-0422CSP2 is a MMIC 4-Way Wilkinson power divider/splitter with a revolutionary design allowing for drastically reduced footprints while maintaining impressive isolation at low frequencies. I’m also impressed that this isolation is maintained whether the device is operating as an equal amplitude/phase power splitter or a power combiner. For any application that prioritizes SWaP above all, this part is a game-changer. What are the key features and specifications of the…

What made you select MRC Components Nanocrystalline Power Ferrites as a product to feature? Increased efficiency does not require new designs. When resources are restricted, companies are hesitant to change established designs to meet the expectations of increasing efficiency. In the short term, a design adjustment does not have to be made to increase the efficiency of existing filters; it can also be done without putting in a lot of effort. Simply replacing individual components can increase efficiency effectively without having to adjust the associated parameters in the filter. With nanocrystalline strip material, the magnetic and mechanical setting can be…
