Skyworks offers Miniature Circulators for MIMO Infrastructure

RFMW announces design and sales support for a 5G, miniature circulator from Skyworks Ireland. The SKYFR-001657 is offered in a 7 mm package size occupying up to 50 percent less board space than competitive products without compromising functionality, making it ideal for 5G massive MIMO and small cell applications from 3400 to 3600 MHz. With 20 dB of isolation and maximum average power rating up to 15 W (30 W peak), the SKYFR-001657 plays a critical role in protecting RF elements in infrastructure designs from excessive signal reflection, helping eliminate performance risks and safeguard vital equipment. Maximum insertion loss at room temperature is only 0.25 dB typical.
