Attenuation is 37dB minimum at 50MHz offset while insertion loss is 2.8dB max. The MBP44RC1030S15C and MBP44RC1090S15C are centered at 1030MHz and 1090MHz respectively. Both have a bandwidth of 15MHz and offer 37dB minimum attenuation at 50MHz offset with insertion loss < 2.8dB.…
Florida RF Labs has expanded its popular Lab-Flex® family of cable assemblies to include 2 new 50 GHz designs. These RF cables contain all of the mechanical and electrical characteristics that have become the standard of excellence for their high performance cable assembly products. They are extremely well-suited for high frequency test applications and high-density interconnects where insertion loss and stability over temperature are concerns. As with all Lab-Flex® product, these assemblies offer >90dB of shielding effectiveness and both offer a wide range of connectors including, but not limited to, SMA, 2.4mm, 2.92mm interfaces in various configurations. The Lab-Flex® product…
Skyworks high power switches offer transmit/receive and failsafe switching for TDD-LTE, TD-SCDMA, base station, repeater, and military low frequency radio applications. These PIN diode-based switches will handle 40 W and up to 100 W of CW RF input power at 25 degrees C. A small 4×4 mm QFN plastic surface mount technology (SMT) package is ideal for compact system designs with challenging power levels. Low insertion loss minimizes receiver noise figure while high isolation provides protection to the receiver during large transmitter output signals. Skyworks SKY12212-478LF handles up to 100W CW from 50 to 2700 MHz with an insertion loss…
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 TriQuint Semiconductor BAW filters including the 885025, a Band 2 uplink filter at 1880MHz. BAW filters offer improved power handling performance over traditional SAW filters. The TriQuint 885025 has a usable bandwidth of 60MHz and the RoHS compliant 3x3mm ceramic package can handle up to 1W (30dBm) of CW RF energy. The associated chart shows two additional TriQuint BAW filters, the 885024, Band 2 downlink filter and the 885009, Band 7 uplink filter. All three filters boast low insertion loss and high out-of-band attenuation. Single ended operation at 50 ohms requires no…
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.
