Radio Waves
Radio Waves Inc. introduced a high-performance antenna design for 23 GHz. Called The Discriminator, the antenna is one-foot in diameter and has first side lobes 23 dB down from the main beam, which reduces interference from other microwave transmitters when co-location is required, said the company. The company also released its new eight-foot diameter, high-performance antenna for 6, 7, 8 and 10 GHz applications. The HP8 antennas are suited for point-to-point and backhaul applications because they offer minimal side lobe interference in links operating in heavy usage areas, said the company. The antennas include a hybrid-Cassegrain feed, improving pattern performance and providing higher antenna efficiency in a small package, according to the company. Both products meet Federal Communications Commission category A requirements. www.radiowavesinc.com

MECA introduced its H-Series, 100-watt Wilkinson power combiner/dividers. The products are targeted at systems applications that use multiple high-power transmitter or antenna feeds. Standard models are available in two-way, three-way or four-way configurations for both the 800 MHz to 1000 MHz and 1.7 GHz to 2.2 GHz wireless bands. The company said the products provide high isolation, low VSWR and low insertion loss. www.e-meca.com
