Both devices are offered in a 20x20mm package for 3G/4G wireless infrastructure, linearized transmitters, MIMO and heterogeneous…
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for MiniRF’s 4-way splitter, model MRFSP0012. Covering the common CATV bandwidth of 5 to 1002MHz, the MRFSP0012 replaces three, 2-way splitters commonly used to achieve a 1 to 4 split thus saving board space, reducing part count and offering easier design configuration. And, the MiniRF MRFSP0012 offers a cost savings over comparable performing, multi-splitter topologies. Mid-band insertion loss is typically 0.75dB with 25dB isolation. Amplitude balance is typically <0.1 dB while phase balance is typically <1 degree with a maximum of 2.0 degrees. A 75 ohm characteristic impedance makes the MiniRF MRFSP0012 ideal…
RFMW , Ltd. announces design and sales support for Peregrine Semiconductor’s PE33241, a high performance, flexible integer-N PLL capable of frequency synthesis up to 5 GHz. The PE33241 offers a low phase-noise floor FOM of -230 dBc/Hz, a 20dB normalized phase noise improvement over previous generation PLLs. With a dual mode prescalar modulus of 10/11 up to 5 GHz and 5/6 up to 4 GHz, the Peregrine PE33241 can be used in multiple applications including LOs for up/down frequency converters, frequency synthesizers and timing generators. Flexible programming includes serial and hardwired programming modes. The PE33241 comes in a 7x7mm QFN…

RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for a new, wideband hybrid coupler from EMC Technology. The WH0530TF offers 100W CW power handling from 500-3400MHz. With an operating temperature range of -55 to +85 degrees C, amplitude balance is held to +/- 0.9dB max while phase balance is held to +/- 3 degrees. Measuring 10x50x3.5mm, EMC’s WH0530TF finds applications in power amplifier design, signal distribution and switch networks where low insertion loss over a broad bandwidth are critical.
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for a high gain, 10W GaN amplifier targeted at S-band RADAR applications. The TriQuint TGA2583-SM offers 33dB of gain and >50% PAE from 2.7 to 3.7GHz. Saturated output power is rated at 40.5dBm from a 25-32 volt supply providing 175mA. The TGA2583-SM can be operated in CW or pulse mode as the 5x5mm AC-QQFM package provides good thermal management for PCB mounted designs. Complementary to the TGA2583-SM is TriQuint’s higher power TGA2585-SM, an 18W, packaged GaN amplifier.
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for two BAW filters targeting applications where 2.4GHz WLAN, Bluetooth and Wi-FI products must coexist with 4G LTE and TD-LTE signals. TriQuint’s 885062 and 885071 coexistence filters offer high rejection in adjacent LTE bands yet come in an industry-leading small package measuring 1.4×1.2×0.46mm. Small size does not compromise power handling as both the 885062 and 885071 meet a 28dBm average power rating allowing circuit placement immediately following a final power amplifier. With extended temperature performance over -40 to +95 degrees Celsius and hermetically sealed for outdoor application, the 885062 and 885071 are even…
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for Peregrine Semiconductors’ 10MHz to 8GHz SP4T switch. The PE42441 combines low insertion loss of 1dB with high isolation of 39dB (measured at 6GHz). Internal 50 ohm terminations give this absorptive switch a P0.1dB compression point of 31dB, a significant competitive advantage for target applications in wireless infrastructure and wireless connectivity. Peregrine’s PE42441 high isolation characteristics reduce the need for additional components and the Peregrine UltraCMOS process eliminates the need for DC blocking capacitors thereby reducing overall BOM costs. Available in a 5x5mm QFN, the PE42441 uses 1.8 or 3V control voltages and…
