RFMW announces design and sales support for a Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) duplexer from Qorvo. The QPQ1013Q is a compact, high-performance NoDrift™ Surface Acoustic Wave duplexer designed to meet the strict band 13 NS07 rejection requirements mitigating signal migration in the public safety frequency band for use in NAD (Network Attached Device) applications. The QPQ1013Q boasts only 1 dB uplink insertion loss and 1.4 dB downlink insertion loss.

RFMW announces design and sales support for mmWave, surface mount filters from Cubic Nuvotronics. The PSF19B02S interdigital filter has a pass band of 17.7 to 20.2 GHz with 50 Ω characteristic impedance. Handling a maximum input power of 2 Watts, this SMT filters’ low insertion loss is 2.5 dB max. and boasts 46 dB lower bandpass rejection and 36 upper bandpass rejection. PolyStrata technology provides wide bandwidth, exceptional filtering performance and minimal part-to-part variation for consistent results in production environments supporting 5G backhaul, satellite communications, RF telemetry, and instrumentation. RoHS compliant, PSF19B02S filters are available on tape and reel for standard SMT process assembly.

RFMW announces sales support for the S-Series “Test Bench in A Box” from Elite RF. The S-Series is a general-purpose, all-inclusive RF test bench in one enclosure. The RF equipment built into the S-series can be used “stand-alone” or with other external equipment. A compact and cost-effective alternative to bulky and expensive test equipment has been the dream of many RF engineers. Elite RF developed the S-Series, multi-purpose test equipment product, to be a workhorse with development goals to be as versatile as possible, have a small footprint and yet remain affordable compared to the typical RF test equipment on the market. With the goals met, the standard line S-series RF test equipment is an all-in-one, cost-effective piece of equipment that incorporates a Spectrum Analyzer, RF Tracking Generator, Dual Signal Generator, RF Power Amplifier, 4 Channel Scope, and RF Power Meter. Multiple configurations are available depending on frequency range and required functionality. For example, the model SPA1241 includes a 100 KHz – 12.4 GHz Spectrum Analyzer, 100 KHz – 12.4 GHz RF Tracking Generator, 54 MHz – 13.6 GHz Dual Signal Generator, 100 MHz – 18 GHz RF / 1 watt Power Amplifier, 200 MHz 4 Channel Scope and 10 MHz – 12.5 GHz RF Power Meter.

RFMW announces design and sales support for a front-end module (FEM) from Qorvo. The Qorvo QPM5811, GaAs MMIC front-end module, is designed for 8.5 – 10.5 GHz radar and combines a T/R switch, LNA and PA. Receive path performance is 26 dB gain with 2.0 dB noise figure. The transmit path offers 30 dB small signal gain and 23.5 dB of large signal gain with 0.5 W pSat (45 % PAE). A 6 x 6 mm QFN surface mount package with over-mold encapsulant, coupled with high thermal conductivity die-attach process, allows the QPM5811 to perform well in high temperature environments. Its compact size supports tight lattice spacing requirements needed for X-Band phased array radar applications.

RFMW announces design and sales support for precision-grade attenuators from Marki Microwave. Enabling the most demanding applications up to 110 GHz, these 10 dB, 1mm coaxial connectored attenuators are serialized for traceability and offered as ATN10-00110-2W (Male – Female) ATN10-00110 (Female to Female) and ATN10-00110-3W (Male to Male). Typical return loss is >15 dB over the entire bandwidth. With high performance and reliability, these fixed attenuators provide signal attenuation and VSWR matching for applications such as automotive radar, emerging 5G bands and wireless backhaul.
