RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for a pair of GaN low noise amplifiers targeted at military and commercial radar applications as well as SatCom, point-to-point radio and WiMax applications. The TriQuint TGA2611-SM covers 2 to 6GHz while the TGA2612-SM stretches from 6 to 12GHz. Both LNAs operate from a 10V bias drawing 100mA of current and both the TGA2611-SM and TGA2612-SM come in 4x4mm, plastic overmold QFN packages. The TGA2611-SM (2-6GHz) offers 1dB noise figure with small signal gain of >22dB. Third order intercept (OTOI) is 30dBm. TriQuint’s TGA2612-SM (6-12GHz) is specified at 2dB noise figure with 22dB…
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for a pair of 100W VPIN limiters from TriQuint. The TGL2206-SM and TGL2207-SM are available in QFN 5x5mm surface mount packages for ease of installation in receive protection chains for commercial and military radar systems. The TGL2206-SM covers applications falling from 2 to 5.5GHz while the TGL2207-SM extends the range from 2 to 6.5GHz. Both limiters offer <1dB insertion loss and neither the TGL2206-SM nor TGL2207-SM require DC bias. Input/output return loss measures 15dB.
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for Peregrine Semiconductor’s 2-bit, fast-switching digital step attenuator (DSA). The PE43205 offers 29nS switching time when transitioning between 6, 12 or 18dB of attenuation. Simple, coarse attenuation is a great benefit for robust receiver gain control designs. Specified from 35MHz to 6GHz, the PE43205 offers IIP3 of 61dBm for highly linear, wide dynamic range circuits. In addition, the Peregrine PE43205 offers an extended temperature range of +105 degrees C to support passive/convection cooling in wireless infrastructure, small cell and land mobile radio applications. The Peregrine PE43205 is packaged as a 3x3mm QFN.
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for a dual-band SAW filter module from TriQuint. The TQQ1212 serves band 34 (2010-2025MHz) and band 39 (1880-1920MHz) in a single, 4x3mm module. Band 34 passband bandwidth is 15MHz while band 39 has a 40MHz bandwidth. Insertion loss in both bands is 3.8dB max TriQuint’s TQQ1212 can handle up to 20dBm input power and operates single-ended on both input and output. TQQ1212 applications include BTS and small cells where a small, single ended, dual filter solves implementation problems.
Rosenberger of North America LLC, announces R-Mor cable assemblies for test and measurement applications. These high performance microwave cable assemblies offer very low loss and high phase stability during flexure. R-Mor includes a wide range of available connectors, 2.92 mm/K, 3.5, Precision N, SMA and 2.4 mm, as well as a highly flexible armor, ensuring highly repeatable measurements. Rosenberger’s R-mor cables are available through RFMW distribution in standard lengths of 18”, 24”, 36” and 48”.
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for Peregrine Semiconductor’s new, adjustable power limiter providing protection for up to 50W pulsed RF input. For CW applications, the PE45140 handles up to 10W of power. The adjustable power limiting threshold, from +22 to +32dBm, enables flexibility across different platforms and architectures. Peregrine’s UltraCMOS, monolithic solution is 8X smaller than comparable GaAs PIN diode solutions and no external components are required. The PE45140 maintains a 64dBm IIP3 for high linearity applications in LMR and public safety radios. Receiver protection in SDR tactical radios averts damage from intentional jammers or ESD strikes with…
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for a band 25 duplexer from TriQuint. The TQM963001 is a high-performance Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW) duplexer designed to meet the strict CDMA requirements in the PCS extension band BC14 and provide excellent insertion loss (typically 1.8dB), cross isolation and linearity for LTE B25. Downlink isolation of 50 dB minimum & GPS rejection of >40 dB eliminate the need for a transmit filter. The TriQuint TQM963001 has single-Ended (SE), 50 Ohm downlink & uplink ports for ease of design. Excellent triple beat performance of -88 dBc typifies TriQuint BAW filters as does guaranteed…
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for a 50 ohm absorptive switch from TriQuint. The TQC0015 internal terminations can handle a maximum CW power of up to 2W. This performance is enhanced with an enable-pin functionality and compatibility with 1.8 or 3.3V control signals, making the TQC0015 useful in small cell applications. Typical isolation at 1GHz is 60dB with associated insertion loss of 0.5dB for performance in test equipment applications. Linearity (IIP3) is rated at 56dBm. The TriQuint TQC0015 supports operation to 6GHz and is available in a 4x4mm SMT package compatible with previous TriQuint switches and similar products…
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for Rosenberger’s 15K101-40ME4 Micro-RF test switch connector. The 15K101-40ME4 Micro-RF test switch is an ultra-miniature (1.8 mm x 1.9 mm, height 1.5 mm), low-cost, surface mount, coax “switch” connector for the verification of antenna/circuit performance in any kind of small device. The connector can be used for applications that require a low-cost, SMD, coax, point-of-entry to a PCB and/or a switch for temporarily disconnecting the on-board connection to the PCB in circuits up to 6GHz. Useful applications for the 15K101-40ME4 include prototype boards where installation of a switch connector can isolate portions of…
