We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Active components",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Robust filter connectors boost reliability from
ITT Electronic Components, which we summarised at the time by saying "Filter connectors feature a state-of-the-art flexible circuit where individual chip capacitors are surface mounted on a pad adjacent to the feedthrough contact".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Chip-size package to shrink CMOS and CCD sensors from
Oki Electric: "The ZyCSP is a chip size package for image sensors with buried interconnect technology developed by ZyCube".
In December 2006, we covered the news from Rohde and Schwarz
concerning its RandS ZVA40
- take a look at High flexibility for network analysis
which says: "The RandS ZVA40 from Rohde and Schwarz is a new network analyser with a frequency range from 10 MHz to 40 GHz".
Take a look also at the news release from CIR, Fibre-based networks offer big component growth,
as well as Networking drives optical components market from CIR,
and Simulator copes with ICs embedded in PCBs from Flomerics.
