TriQuint offers the TGF2819-FL with a flange mount and the TGF2819-FS as an earless version package. Both transistors utilize low thermal base material for efficient heat transfer with PAE >58%.
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for Delta Electronics 2.92mm SMK Coaxial Cable Connectors rated to 40GHz for use in commercial, Industrial and military applications. Three cable ends are available to support male to male assemblies, 7901111K003-000, 7901094K003-000 and 7901031K003-000. VSWR is rated at 1.15:1 max to 18GHz and 1.30:1 max from 18-40GHz. Coupling nuts are made of passivated stainless steel while the contact and body are gold plated. Delta SMK interfaces are similar to that of SMA connectors but utilize an air dielectric and a Noryl support bead for higher cutoff frequencies. Delta SMK male cable connectors are…
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for the TriQuint TGL2203, a 1W VPIN limiter for Ka-band Radar systems. The TGL2203 has integrated DC blocks on both input and output ports. Capable of handling 1W of incident CW power, this passive device has a flat leakage rate of <20dBm @ Pin <30dBm. Insertion loss is <1dB. The TriQuint TGL2203 serves radar applications from 30-38GHz and comes as a 1.35×1.15mm DIE.
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for the RFFM6903, a 1W transmit power Front End Module (FEM) for applications in the frequency range of 868 to 960MHz. RFMD developed the RFFM6903 to aggressively reduce the size of front end designs and reduce component count in portable equipment. Reduced component count and size equate to reduced assembly cost and overall solution cost. The RFMD RFFM6903 integrates a 1 watt power amplifier, SP3T antenna switch, harmonic filters, an LNA with bypass and multiple matching components. All of this is packaged in a 6x6mm form factor. RFMD’s RFFM6903 operates on supply voltages…
