RFaxis, a leading manufacturer of RF Front-end ICs (RFeIC) offers three new porfolio brochures detailing the features and benefits of their single-chip/single-die CMOS products. The RFeIC has fundamental advantages over Front-end Modules (FEMs) in that a fully integrated CMOS IC is lower cost and has a smaller footprint than a comparable front-end “module” containing multiple devices. The RFaxis Smart Energy/Smart Home, ZIGBEE and ISM brochure highlights the use of the RFX2401C, RFX1010 and RFX2411 in these applications. Their WLAN in Mobile Devices brochure reviews infotainment applications and the WLAN Computing & Infrastructure covers access points and router applications. The RFaxis…

RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for Johanson Technology’s (JTI) newly introduced 2450BP15Q0100, 2.4GHz, High-Rejection Band Pass Filter (BPF) with Land Grid Array (LGA)-type terminations. This brand new BPF has the highest close-to-passband rejection with the smallest footprint ever made by JTI. With a 3dB bandwidth of 100MHz centered at 2.45GHz, minimum attenuation of the JTI 2450BP15Q0100 at 2170MHz is 30dB, yet maximum passband insertion loss is 1.8dB at 25° C. The 0805 package incorporates an LGA termination for reduced real-estate usage and can handle up to 2W. The JTI 2450BP15Q0100 is targeted towards low cost WiFi applications where…
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for TriQuint Semiconductor’s TQP4M0010, SPDT switch featuring up to 50dB of isolation from an internally terminated, absorptive design. This new TriQuint switch includes an internal decoder and offers a single, positive voltage control of 1.8 to 5V. Operating from 100MHz to 4.5GHz, the TriQuint TQP4M0010 is ideal for 3G/4G wireless infrastructure and small cell applications as well as T&M and Defense applications where low insertion loss of 0.55dB is a requirement. The TQP4M0010 does not need any external matching components, making it an easy-to-use device in a standard QFN 4x4mm package.
RFMW , Ltd. announces sales and technical support for Florida RF Labs SXU series of RF power samplers. These wide band samplers offer a cost-effective solution by eliminating the need for a termination commonly used with directional couplers, saving both PC board space and part count. Operating up to 4GHz, power can be sampled 10, 20 or 30dB down from the main line. Power handling is up to 50W CW. Applications for these Florida RF Labs Power Samplers include power monitoring for antenna feeds and power amplifiers, switch networks and test instrumentation. Pick and place compatible with standard tape and…
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for TriQuint Semiconductor’s T1G6003028-FL, DC – 6GHz GaN transistor offering 30W P3dB at 6GHz and up to 40W P3dB midband.
