Pendulum has announced the PFA-127. Built on the CNT-100 multi-channel frequency analyzer, it measures RF frequency, power, pulse width and PRI in parallel and gap-free in one instrument, replacing a microwave frequency counter and a peak power meter. The RF channel covers 15 GHz as standard and unlocks to 20 or 27 GHz in the field by software license. Power is measured from -30 to +30 dBm with 0.01 dB resolution in a 1 µs gate, capturing RF pulses as short as 100 ns. Target applications are high-speed radar, microwave components, wireless telecom and R&D. The PFA-127 is now in the Evencat catalog; contact us for a quotation.

Pendulum will exhibit at European Microwave Week 2026 at ExCeL London from October 6 to 8, booth L282. The highlight is the newly launched PFA-127 power and frequency analyzer, alongside Pendulum's RF, microwave and high-frequency measurement solutions.

The site now has a knowledge center with technical articles on time and frequency measurement and igniter safety: the principles, how to read the specifications and what to look for when selecting an instrument. At the same time we have launched instrument rental. Pendulum counters and time and frequency references, and AMPTEC igniter testers and safety ohmmeters, can be hired short term for project validation and temporary measurement needs. 9 application pages were added as well.

Pendulum exhibits at MSPO 2026 in Kielce, Poland, on September 8 to 11 (Hall 1, stand #1-E02), sharing the stand with partner Altaria Solutions. On show: time, frequency and synchronization measurement for military and defense applications, and how precise timing improves the reliability and synchronization of mission-critical systems.

From August 31 to September 4 Pendulum is at booth 5 of EMC Europe 2026 in Prague, Czech Republic, with the Detectus SCN-500 series EMC near-field scanning system, used to locate EMC hot spots in a design before it goes to the test house, and a live demonstration of the SCN-500 camera option. See the related application page on EMC near-field scanning and pre-compliance testing.

Pendulum has announced booth 13 at ITSF 2026 (International Timing and Sync Forum) in Geneva, Switzerland, November 2 to 5. The focus is the FTR-210R GNSS-disciplined rubidium time and frequency reference and the CNT-104R multi-channel frequency analyzer. ITSF is the main annual event for the timing and synchronization community.

Pendulum will be at electronica 2026 in Munich, Germany, November 10 to 13, booth A4.338, with its latest counters, time and frequency references and measurement solutions. electronica is one of the largest electronics industry shows in the world.

The latest firmware gives the CNT-100 series counters and the FTR-210R time and frequency reference more operating flexibility and better connectivity, adds support for the blind-panel models and improves the calibration report function.

New 2-channel and 4-channel blind-panel frequency analyzers, built for integration into automated test systems and carrying the same high-resolution time and frequency measurement as the rest of the CNT-100 series. Both models are now in the Evencat catalog.

Pendulum exhibits at booth 7 of WSTS (Workshop on Synchronization and Timing Systems), organized by ATIS, under the theme "Timing at the Edge": precise timing and synchronization for edge networks.

Mi-Wave took part in SATShow 2026 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC, March 23 to 26, showing high-power amplifiers, frequency converters, transceivers, synthesizers, antenna systems and custom components for satellite communications, radar, electronic warfare and test applications.

After more than 20 years in production, the GPS-12R / HS GPS-controlled frequency standards have been retired because key components are no longer available. Pendulum will keep offering repair and technical support for up to five years. The replacement is the FTR-210R GNSS-disciplined rubidium reference.

ABI Electronics (UK) exhibited at DSEI 2025, the defense and security show in London. In the same period Collins Aerospace expanded its deployment of the ABI BoardMaster circuit board diagnostic system to speed up fault detection on its repair lines.

ABI's flagship SYSTEM 8 diagnostic platform moves to Ultimate 4.0, with 64 digital and 24 analog test channels and tighter integration of circuit board fault location and functional testing.

AMPTEC Research supplied electrical test equipment for NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART), the first space mission to change an asteroid's orbit by kinetic impact. Evencat is the sole distributor for AMPTEC in Taiwan.
