An Electronicstalk guide
Start with the news release Oscillator achieves ultra-low phase noise from Z-Communications, which we summarised at the time by saying "Z-Communications has announced an RoHS-compliant VCO (voltage-controlled oscillator) in S-band for digital radio and fixed wireless applications that require ultra-low phase noise performance. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release QDR and DDR SRAMs for reducing power consumption from Cypress Semiconductor: "Cypress Semiconductor has announced Quad Data Rate (QDR) and Double Data Rate (DDR) SRAMs at 36-Mbit and 18-Mbit densities, for networking use in medical imaging and military signal-processing.".
In December 2010, we covered the news from Piher - take a look at Piher launches ultra-miniature rotary sensor which says: "Piher has launched the MTS360, a miniature SMD rotary sensor that is suitable for optical imaging stabilisation and precision biomedical devices, optical zoom devices, consumer electronics and more. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Tyco Electronics, Tyco cable assembly transmits multimedia content, as well as PCB connectors target board-to-board applications from Harting, and VCO for digital radio and fixed wireless systems from Z-Communications.
