The Sensor Open Systems Architecture, or SOSA, Technical Standard has made deployment of new electronic warfare (EW) solutions faster and more modular now that a standardized chassis hardware framework has been established. No longer will the entire EW system need to be captive to a single supplier. The latest technology can now be released into the field without the need for new program specifications. EW integrators and their suppliers can focus on their specific area of expertise among the major system component blocks: radio-frequency (RF) front end, digital processing, and algorithms. Platform re-use can be accomplished with one or more of these three major components upgraded to a new solution. Integrators can now provide focused refresh upgrades in a more timely fashion based on the advancements in just one of these areas, without waiting for a revision through an entirely new program.

ADL8103 – 1.7dB NF and 6W (36dBm) Max Input Power

WILMINGTON, Massachusetts. Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) introduced the ADSY1100 series, a new family of wideband multichannel RF digitizers, designed in a 3U VPX aligned with the Sensor Open Systems Architecture, or SOSA, Technical Standard, the company announced in a statement.

Quad input, single output receive device.

There has long been a desire for the capability of a wide 2 GHz to 18 GHz observation bandwidth across a single Nyquist in electronic warfare (EW) and communication intelligence (COMINT) systems.

WILMINGTON, Massachusetts. Analog Devices introduced the ADPA1116, a gallium nitride (GaN) power amplifier that operates across a frequency range from 0.3 GHz to 6 GHz and is designed to enhance RF and microwave applications by providing a saturated output power of 39.5 dBm, the company announced in a statement.

ADAR5001 is a 2-way RF splitter combiner with a frequency range of 10 GHz to 40 GHz.
