TSP #228 - Biggest Microwave Components & Instrumentation Exhibition - IEEE Microwave Symposium 2023

We are back at the International Microwave Symposium 2023, this year held in San Diego, California!

The industry exhibition event was absolutely huge this year, with the latest showing in microwave, mm-wave & THz components, instrumentations & test solutions. This video covers a tiny fraction of the latest gear on display. The video is organized by vendor:

Thank you for the wonderful tour of such high-end test equipment.

Excellent video Shahriar, It was great meeting you at IMS this year. Thanks for the in-depth explanations as usual!

[ziggfreud]

Listening to you and looking at these devices, the complexity is insane!

[trevorvanbremen]

I understood 100% of the content of this video... Right up to the point where Shariar started talking!!!

I could feel the Anritsu guys sqinting while you were pawing their kit lol :) Tradeshows eh... Oh well, they knew what they wete getting into!

[lbgstzockt]

I can't wait for the teardowns of these insane devices.

Very cool, thanks for sharing. Good to see Siglent stepping up their game and Samtec is always a pleasure. Surprised, wasn't Minicircuits there? I'd have thought they'd be showing some of their wares. Cheers.

Thanks so much for the tour. I was working the show so I missed a lot of what you showed. There is really a lot to see at IMS.

So many microwave devices and not a single one can cook food 😥

I've only heard of like 5 of these companies, but all of that was awesome. A couple decades ago, if you'd asked me what I thought high frequency was, I'd have told you 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. Now, in this video, I hear the word "terahertz" spoken for the first time (in a serious context, at least). Amazing.

These may be outside my ham radio budget 😅

excellent report -- I didn know about the phase noise measurement instruments from holzworth - looks much more affordable then the big competitive devices. Great ! Do you know a price range for this kind of instrument ?

[glasslinger]

I can see now that winning the lotto is not enough! Now it will take winning the mega millions power ball!

RF black magic created by elves, as a retired EE these toys are way beyond my hobby budget

[joopterwijn]

Well, I think my mortgage +, just went past the screen…😂 just joking, nice tools !

[joaozinhobem-bem]

The R&S guy said VSA software instead VSE or it was just my impression? Thanks again, Shahriar!

[karlbesser]

I hope that the users of these devices can understand and use at least 20% of the built-in functions.

Looks like Hyperlabs has moved out of their basement HQ...

[tommihommi]

I guess you won't be at the EuMW later this year?
