1) Phased-Array Radar System Award
Renaissance Electronics received a significant new design
and production order for two circulators from a major US systems
company.
These low frequency circulators will be used in ground-based
surveillance radar which is part of the prime manufacturer’s Foreign
Military Sales (FMS) portfolio.
Renaissance will design, qualify and manufacture over 13,000
circulators, both coaxial and drop-in.
Renaissance is proud of its ongoing relationship with this major
manufacturer. We hope to maintain this relationship in the years ahead
by continuing to manufacture products of the highest quality and value.
2) MEMS Switch Matrix
As was previously announced, Renaissance Electronics has designed a
unique 8 x 8 MEMS Switch Matrix. Renaissance recently exhibited this new
unit at the IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium in Honolulu,
Hawaii. We believe this is the first commercially available MEMS-Based
Switch Matrix.
This new state of the art product has 80 embedded MEMS SPDT switches
with a life expectancy greater than 100 billion cycles. We expect to
release data sheets for this MEMS Switch Matrix by late July or early
August. Production of this and other MEMS-based products is scheduled to
begin in late 2007.
3)
NEMA Box Receiver Multi-Coupler
Renaissance Electronics recently unveiled its first
active outdoor unit in compliance with NEMA regulations. Long known for
passive devices, Renaissance is proud to introduce an outdoor version of
its highly successful Receiver Multi-Coupler. This all-weather unit is
currently undergoing field trials.
Talk to us about enclosing any of our Base Station products in a NEMA
box for your outdoor applications.
4)
Annual MTT-S
Symposium
As in previous years, Renaissance Electronics Corporation participated
as an exhibitor in this year’s IEEE Microwave Symposium in Honolulu,
Hawaii.
The IEEE MTT-S symposium is the leading annual gathering of engineers,
educators and hardware manufacturers involved with RF and Microwave
systems and products.
The meeting is not market or product specific but general enough to
include avionics, industrial, defense and telecommunication
applications.
We thank those who visited our booth and displayed interest in our
products.
5)
Local High School Scholarship Program
In
keeping with our culture values, Renaissance has been participating in
the Nashoba Regional High School and Acton Boxborough Regional High
School scholarship programs for the past 9 years. Nashoba Regional
serves the towns of Stow, Lancaster, and Bolton, while Acton Boxborough
serves Acton and Boxborough.
Every year, two students from each school receive monetary awards
towards their college education. To be eligible for the awards, students
must have verifiable financial need; demonstrate academic excellence in
math and science; and display concern for fellow students and the
community at large.
This year’s recipients are David Lauritano and Laura O’Neil from Nashoba
Regional, and Olga Guzovsky and Andrew Lai from Acton Boxborough. We
wish them the very best in their future endeavors!
