When Qualcomm introduced the QTM052 millimeter-wave antenna module in 2018, it was a wake-up call for the defense industry and anyone following the development of 5G. The device combines 64 dual-polarization antenna elements, delivering a combined RF output power of 50 dBm, a 5G NR transceiver, a power management IC, and an RF front end. It offers 800 MHz of bandwidth at 24.25 to 27.5, 26.5 to 29.5 GHz, 27.5 to 28.35 GHz, and 37 to 40 MHz and 2×2 MIMO. Notably, all those antenna elements were supported by beamforming and beam steering, essential ingredients, all in a package less…
What made you select Ampleon’s ART2K5T Series as the featured products for the month? I am featuring Ampleon’s latest high-power discrete transistors, based on their proven Advanced Rugged Technology (ART) LDMOS technology. These devices are used in HF to UHF (typically <500MHz) applications where extremely high power, together with an elevated level of ruggedness, is required. By “rugged” we mean the device has a high breakdown voltage (>200V), so it is tolerant to a high load mismatch at the output that would normally destroy an RF transistor. The ART2K5T devices are rated at a VSWR of 65:1. Such mismatches are often…
What made you select the Qorvo ACT85610 as a featured product? What value and differentiation does this product offer?Qorvo’s ACT85610 is a configurable, multiple output power management integrated circuit (PMIC) with built-in power loss protection (PLP). This monolithic device supports an input voltage range of 2.7V to 14V and includes an integrated synchronous power stage with four high-efficiency buck converters, delivering 3 x 4A and 1 x 2A of current, with output voltages as low as 0.6V. It also offers a programmable boost storage voltage range of 5.5V to 31V, a programmable 10A input current limit, and built-in circuit protection.The…
