SETTING THE BENCHMARK

As the world welcomes Fifth Generation (5G) wireless networks and technology, the engineers at Benchmark are readying for what lies ahead in Sixth Generation (6G) networks. In a new article, “Sixth Generation Networks Push New Boundaries”, appearing in the digital editions of Electronic Design and ...

To say that wireless devices are ubiquitous in our society today would be a vast understatement. In fact, sometimes it seems like wire is only used today for fencing livestock and stringing guitars. The same is true for the use of wire for communications and connectivity—it is diminishing rapidly.

In an article titled “Miniaturising Radio Frequency Components Using Advanced Circuit Fabrication Methodologies” published in its April 2023 issue, Commercial Micro Manufacturing International (CMM) walks us through how the engineering team at Benchmark Lark Technology have created RF module...

Several members of Benchmark’s Aerospace and Defense team offered their thoughts on the coming of 5G wireless communications networks—but not for their hometowns, for the military battlefield. The U. S. Armed Forces are investing heavily in Fifth Generation (5G) wireless technology as the future...

RF filters are critical components in aerospace & defense (A&D) systems and must be specified for optimum system performance. The right RF filters can screen out interference signals while channeling desired signals to a system’s receivers with minimal loss and distortion. But RF filter...

While ubiquitous and advancing forms of high-speed connectivity devices have affected almost all aspects of everyday lives, highly advanced and highly available Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) are becoming just as universal across the frontlines of security and defense. In addition to their use by...

Wireless 5G cellular communications networks are gobbling up bandwidth as people use more and more mobile data. Unfortunately, some of the frequency bands near 5G spectrum are already used at C-band by radar altimeters on commercial and military aircraft. Fortunately, Benchmark Lark has a solution...

Frequency spectrum has long been taken for granted, from the early days of tuning an amplitude-modulated (AM) radio to a favorite sports or news program to making a call on a mobile telephone. Communication happens because radio waves travel across the air from sources to destinations without...

The Benchmark Site Profile is an ongoing blog feature highlighting the Benchmark engineering and manufacturing teams worldwide. Tune in to read the next installment in the series. This month features Benchmark Lark Technology's engineering and manufacturing team in Tijuana, Mexico - Rubi.

Bandwidth is everything, at least for Fifth Generation (5G) cellular wireless networks. With each generation of cellular wireless networks, the number of users and their applications and devices has grown steadily, requiring more bandwidth for more communications. To meet this increased demand for...

Military service members depend on a growing number of electronic functions, including communications, electronic warfare (EW), and radar. Defense OEMs face increasingly complex challenges in supplying solutions for these electronic functions due to an ever-increasing demand for size, weight,...

Developing technology for space is challenging. Developing technology for interplanetary space requires truly stratospheric skills. Here at Benchmark Lark Technology, we don't shy away from a challenge, and nothing flexes our technical muscles more than partnering with the NASA-Jet Propulsion...
