At RFMW, our customers continually ask for the latest RF components and the latest technology. Often, a design engineer will come across a news article highlighting our suppliers’ products targeting mobile handset applications. Our suppliers offer some the smallest, the best performing and highest levels of integration in the industry. For mobile handsets, they are also price sensitive and low cost – everything a design engineer wants. When a design engineer anxiously contacts us to get samples or evaluation boards or pricing, we generally try to steer them away from these parts. WHY, you ask. It sounds like an easy…
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for the TQP9108 from Qorvo. With two stages of amplification, the TQP9108 offers 30.5dB of gain with 31.3dBm output power. Covering 1.7 to 2.17GHz, the Qorvo TQP9108 serves small cell and repeater applications, DAS and booster amp applications for bands 1, 2, 3, 4 and 25. Power added efficiency is rated at 39% with OIP3 of 46dBm. Packaged in a 3.5×4.5mm SMT, this internally matched amp draws 65mA from a 4.3V supply.
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for the industry’s first RF switch operating at zero Hertz with integrated RF, analog and digital functions. The Peregrine Semiconductor PE42020 SPDT targets T&M and ATE applications with frequency coverage from 0Hz to 8GHz. Capable of handling 30dBm input power at zero Hertz, patented UltraCMOS technology allows 36dBm power handling at 8GHz. The PE42020’s unique ability to handle DC voltage on the RF pins enables engineers to design out lower reliability mechanical relays and MEMS switches with a CMOS semiconductor able to switch complex combinations of DC + RF/analog and digital signals. The…
RFMW Ltd., announces design and sales support for MAST Technologies line of dual use RF Absorber + Thermally Conductive pad material. Trademarked Suppress-n-Sink, the target application is reducing harmful reflections from heat-sinks and heat-spreaders used on packaged components. Several large OEMs have adopted the Suppress-n-Sink solution as a thermal conductor and EMI suppressor for on-board microprocessors. New designs often include miniaturization as a design goal forcing the product packaging and heat sinking to be an integral part of the overall system. Higher device densities exacerbate the problem engineers face with removing heat from their designs. Once that problem is solved,…
