Profile: e2v specializes in providing imaging solutions, RF power solutions, instrumentation solutions and semiconductor solutions. We provide CCD & CMOS image sensors to aerospace, medical, biometry, graphic art, surveillance, machine vision and other industrial applications. Our industrial imaging sensors are ideally suited for vision applications. Microwave components include amplifiers, circulators & isolators, diodes, integrated microwave packages, receiver protectors and noise generators. Our receiver protectors isolate the sensitive receiver from the damaging levels of RF power present when the RF source transmits. When this power is no longer present, they go into a low-loss state, allowing the RF echoes to pass through to the receiver for amplification and detection. They typically comprise one or more PIN diode stages to protect sensitive receivers from synchronous (transmitter) and non-synchronous interference damage.
