RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for a 9W GaN HPA from TriQuint. The TGA2595 supports VSAT and SatCom applications from 27.5 to 31GHz. 24% power added efficiency highlights this multi-stage amplifier which draws 280mA from a 20V suppy. The TriQuint TGA2595 offers 39.5dBm mid-band saturated output power with small signal gain of 23dB. A balanced configuration supports low return loss and improves robustness into non ideal loads. Offered in a space saving 3.6×3.24×0.1mm DIE configuration, the TGA2595 is up to 3x smaller than competing products. To simplify system integration, the TriQuint TGA2595 is fully matched to 50 ohms…
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for Skyworks SMV2026 series of hyperabrupt tuning varactor diodes. The SMV2026-079LF is offered in the SC-79 package while a smaller, SOD-882 package if available for space constrained layouts. Low series resistance of 0.5 ohm at 5V typifies this Skyworks varactor series and enables low phase noise in wideband VCO designs. Wide tuning range/ratio provides very wide tuning in low voltage applications and key performance parameters enable the replacement of Japanese manufactured varactor diodes, at a third of the cost. Ideal for applications including low-noise and wideband UHF and VHF VCOs, voltage-controlled phase shifters…
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for three new TriQuint 100W power limiters for L, S and C-band RADAR. These MMIC GaAs VPIN limiters protect sensitive receivers from high power incident signals. Then do not require DC bias and have insertion loss <0.5dB. Integrated DC blocks on the RF output reduce circuit design complexity with simple integration. A protective surface passivation layer provides environmental robustness and is ideally suited for both commercial and defense applications. The TGL2205 covers a bandwidth of 1-6GHz. The TGL2206 covers 2-4.5GHz and the TGL2207 covers 2-5GHz.
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for the PE4312, 6-bit digital step attenuator from Peregrine Semiconductor. The PE4312 is designed for use in wireless infrastructure, portable radios and broadband infrastructure applications from 1MHz to 4GHz. Key features include excellent attenuation accuracy +/-(0.15 + 2% of attn @ 2.2GHz) and low insertion loss. Parallel, serial and power-up controls settings allow the Peregrine PE4312 improved flexibility when programming within AGC loops. 1.8V control logic is supported and supply voltage can range from 2.3 to 5.5V. Extended temperature range supports systems with passive / convection cooling.
RFMW , Ltd. announces design and sales support for the PE43705, a 7-bit, 31.75dB digital step attenuator from Peregrine Semiconductor. The PE43705 offers an extremely wide operational frequency range of 50MHz to 8GHz. Internal circuitry manages unequal ON/OFF switch times providing a “glitch safe” design by eliminating the unknown attenuation issue that plagues other DSAs. The PE43705 maintains excellent monotonicity over the entire frequency range. Peregrine’s PE43705 handles up to 31dBm of instantaneous power with a CW power rating of 28 dBm. Extednded temperature range of -40 to +105 deg. C and IIP3 of 65dBm make this an ideal step…
RFMW, Ltd. announces the availability of RF absorber material tuned to customer specific applications. These free samples are electrically tuned (optimized) to absorb unwanted RF emissions between 1 and 40GHz based on design requirements provided by the user. These magnetic “Tuned Frequency” absorbers are intended for specular reflection loss or for customers who experience cavity resonance effects at discrete frequencies. Designers can expect customized samples to ship within 3 to 5 business days. MAST absorber materials are engineered to reduce or eliminate RF and microwave noise associated with electronic circuits by attenuating the electromagnetic waves and converting them to heat.…
RFMW , Ltd. announces application and sales support for a new line of Low PIM (Passive Intermodulation) coaxial switches from Radiall, a global leader in design, development and manufacturing of innovative interconnect solutions. The rapid growth of 4G/LTE networks has led to the need for better performing Low PIM devices. As a result, Radiall developed a broad series of switches including the following configurations: SPDT, DPDT, SP4T, and SP6T. These configurations are available with either SMA (up to 18 GHz) or N (up to 12.4 GHz) type connectors. With over 500 part number configurations available for purchase, these switches offer…
