The ASR-2000 series, an AC+DC power source aiming for system integration or desktop applications, provides both rated power output for AC output and rated power output for DC output. Nine ASR-2000 output modes are available, including

1. AC power output mode (AC-INT Mode),
2. DC power output mode (DC-INT Mode),
3. AC/DC power output mode (AC+DC-INT Mode),
4. External AC signal source mode (AC-EXT Mode),
5. External AC/DC signal source mode (AC+DC-EXT Mode),
6. External AC signal superposition mode (AC-ADD Mode),
7. External AC/DC signal superposition mode (AC+DC-ADD Mode),
8. External AC signal synchronization mode (ACSYNC Mode),
9. External AC/DC signal synchronization mode (AC+DC-SYNC Mode).

The ASR-2000 series provides users with waveform output capabilities to meet the test requirements of different electronic component development, automotive electrical devices and home appliance, including 1) Sequence mode generates waveform fallings, surges, sags, changes and other abnormal power line conditions; 2) Arbitrary waveform function allows users to store/upload user-defined waveforms; and 3) Simulate mode simulates power outage, voltage rise, voltage fall, and frequency variations.

When the ASR-2000 series power source outputs, it can also measure Vrms, Vavg, Vpeak, Irms, Iavg, Ipeak, IpkH, P, S, Q, PF, CF, 40th-order Voltage Harmonic and Current Harmonic. In addition, the Remote sense function ensures accurate voltage output. The Customized Phase Angle for Output On/Off function can set the starting angle and ending angle of the voltage output according to the test requirements. V-Limit, Ipeak-Limit, F-Limit, OVP, OCP, OPP function settings can protect the DUT during the measurement process. In addition to OTP, OCP, and OPP protection, the ASR-2000 series also incorporates the Fan fail alarm function and AC fail alarm function.

The front panel of the ASR-2050/2100 provides a universal socket or a European socket, which allows users to plug and use to save wiring time. The ASR-2050R/2100R is 3U height and 1/2 Rack width design, which is compatible with ATS assembly. The ASR-2000 series supports I/O interface and is equipped with USB, LAN, External I/O and optional RS-232C and GPIB.

GW Instek launches a new series of high-frequency LCR meter ~ LCR-8200, which has four models and the maximum test frequency is up to 30MHz. The entire series adopts 7-inch color display and features a high measurement accuracy (0.08%).

The measurement results can be presented numerically or graphically according to the selected measurement mode, allowing users to optimally interpret the characteristics of the DUT. At the same time, a full range of standard interfaces such as USB device / RS-232C / Handler and GPIB allow users to control the instrument by the most familiar interface without worrying about additional hardware investment costs.
​
Furthermore, the series also provides USB storage function when operating in the graphics mode. The measured characteristic curves and values of the DUT are saved for subsequent analysis. The wide variety of features of the LCR-8200 can help users easily respond to the test requirements of passive components in R&D, engineering, and production.

The newly launched IT-M7700 High Performance Programmable AC Power Supply combines intelligence and flexibility, breaks through the huge defects of the traditional AC power source, reduces the size to only 1⁄2 1U, and maximizes space utilization.

The built-in power meter and arbitrary waveform generator make it convenient to simulate various arbitrary waveform outputs. IT-M7700 is designed with advanced technologies of programmable AC and DC power supplies and can be widely used in multiple fields such as power energy products, home appliances, industrial electronics, avionics, military and IEC standards testing.

Marki Microwave expands their connectorized MMIC equalizer line with three new products that span DC to 26GHz. The equalizers offer 3, 6 and 10db attenuation at DC with less than 1dB loss at 26GHz.

These positive-slope equalizers are perfect for compensating for cable loss or other lowpass filtering effects found in RF and high-speed data signal chains. They are available in bare die, surface mount, and connectorized solutions up to 60 GHz.
