1) WiMAX Circulator designs |
|
Renaissance has completed two new drop-in
circulator designs that will support international WiMAX applications.
Samples of the 3G5NAC were shipped to an international customer this month.
The 3.3GHz to 3.8 GHz device supports BreezeMAX applications that are
designed to employ software defined radio (SDR), beam forming, multi-in
multi-out (MIMO), dynamic bandwidth allocation, and scaleable OFDMA
technologies, 4Motion with BreezeMAX as its base station offers service
providers greater coverage, capacity, and flexibility in their mobile WiMAX
deployments along with improved economics.
In addition Renaissance completed the design of
a dual drop-in circulator for TDM applications where transmitter switching
requires greater isolation. The 3E4N* provides 40 dB of isolation for full
band operation at 3.3 GHz to 3.8 GHz.

Integrated Subsystems for Field Testing |
|
Renaissance Electronics provides fully integrated
boxes for simulating cellular, WiFi and WiWax testing. These subsystems can
incorporate but are not limited to isolators, filters, duplexers,
programmable attenuators, LNAs, switches, and combiner/dividers. This
equipment allows a fully simulated field test in a lab environment. All of
these units are available in convenient 19” rack mount configurations.
These units are available in both standard and
customized models allowing for the fastest deployment and implementation of
networks possible.

FAA Air Traffic Control Tower Radio’s
Order |
|
Renaissance Electronics Switch Product
Group is pleased to announce a significant follow-on award in
support of the FAA CM-300 Air Traffic Radio Project.
This new family of rack mounted
transmitter and receiver systems are designed to meet the
dynamic mission requirements of the air traffic control centers.
Renaissance was originally chosen as a result of its
unprecedented life cycle attain from our SPDT Switch of over
10,000,000 cycles. To date over 3,000 switches have been
delivered in support of this project.

Digital FM Radio Circulator - 3A1NBV
|
|
The AM and FM radio market is embracing
new technology that will allow multiple formats on a single
licensed frequency spectrum. This will encompass a primary analog
signal being the main CW power signal and 2 digital signals
below the analog signal. Each of these digital signals can produce
up to 8 individual’s stations for listening. Further these
additional digital bands will be a new revenue source for FM radio
stations. From our initial
analysis and readings, the FM Radio segment has slowly started the
conversion to digital radio while the topology and power concerns of
the AM broadcast field make AM Radio an unlikely candidate for digital
technology. Forecasts predict this market will become very active in
2008 to 2012.
Potential customers for our 3A1NBV
Circulators are:
- FM Transmitter manufacturers in
North America are using the IBOC technology. This
technology has not yet been accepted in Europe but expectations
are it will become the dominate technology.
- Manufacturers of of Transmitter to
Antenna connection devices
- Antenna manufacturers and
installers
- FM Radio Stations
- Consultants working with
Corporations who own several stations and even single station
operators
This is an open market for
Renaissance because other circulator solutions are bulky, costly,
and exhibit a high failure rate with a short life span.
