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 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…
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for two, DC-3.5GHz power transistors from TriQuint. Available in either a flanged or earless Gemini package as the T1G4020036-FL and T1G4020036-FS respectively, the devices provide two independent 120W paths. Linear gain measures 16dB at 2.9GHz. A low thermal resistance base material supports applications in RADAR, communications and avionics. Both the T1G4020036-FL and T1G4020036-FS run off a 36V supply and offer efficiencies in excess of 50%.
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for a 100W forward power/20W reverse power, Surface Mount isolator from RFCI. The RFSL5401R covers a 55MHz bandwidth from 1625 to 1680MHz. Typical insertion loss of the RFSL5401R is <0.25dB while isolation is typically >25dB. RFCI SMT isolators are designed for maximum performance yet are competitively priced for both small production runs or high volume requirements. The RFCI RFSL5401R finds applications in satellite data terminals. RFCI has an extremely broad range of surface mount, drop-in and coax isolators and circulators up to Ku band for both low and high power applications.
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for a 100 to 3,000MHz GaN amplifier offering a saturated output power of 12W.
