RFMW announces design and sales support for a dual path amplifier from Qorvo. The QPD0010 is an asymmetric, dual-path, discrete GaN on SiC HEMT in a DFN package operating from 2.5 to 2.7 GHz. With 15 dB of gain, this device can deliver an average power of 15 W in a Doherty configuration or a Psat of 50.8 dBm at 2.6 GHz. Operating from a 48V bias, the QPD0010 has applications in 5G massive MIMO, microcell and small cell base stations.
RFMW announces design and sales support for APA Wireless Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCO). The R1424SMUAM12_135 delivers -95 dBc/Hz typical phase noise at 10 KHz offset over its operating range of 1400 to 2400 MHz. VCC is 12 Volts while the tuning voltage range is 1 to 16 V. Typical output power is 10 dBm. Packaged in a standard 0.5 x 0.5 inch castellated SMT, the APA Wireless R1424SMUAM12_135 is a form/fit/function replacement for the EOL Qorvo UMS-2400-A16-G.
RFMW announces design and sales support for surface mount bias-tees from Marki Microwave. The BT-0035SMG-2 bias-tee uses a proprietary wire-wound coil for ultra-broadband, resonance-free operation from 20 MHz to 35 GHz. DC current is 500 mA from a maximum DC voltage of 30V. Optional bypass capacitors can be added near the DC input port to filter noise on the DC line. With 1 Watt power handling, common BT-0035SMG-2 applications include amplifier biasing, diode biasing and DC level shifting. Available in a compact .150” x .220” package.
RFMW announces design and sales support for a low noise amplifier from Qorvo. The QPL1000 covers 8 to 11 GHz with 27 dB small signal gain and 1.7 dB noise figure. Gen II GaN technology withstands up to 5W of CW RF incident power while delivering a saturation power of 15 dBm with a low IM3 levels of −24 dBc (at Pout= +6 dBm / tone). Packaged in a small, 4 x 4 mm plastic overmold QFN, the QPL1000 is matched to 50 ohms with integrated DC blocking caps on both I/O ports for easy handling and simple system integration.…
RFMW announces design and sales support for a Southwest Antennas’ omnidirectional antenna. The 1066-094 is a concealment antenna designed for use in systems where covert antennas are necessary for mission security. Operating in the 1.35 to 1.4 GHz band, the 1066-094 offers small form factor, very light weight, and high gain performance of up to 2 dBi. Offered without a radome, the antenna is not suited for outdoor use unless integrated into another product, such as unmanned vehicles or concealments for covert surveillance applications.

Beamforming for Satellite Communications Satellite Communications (SatCom) is a vital market that plays a huge role in the global communications ecosystem. It supports a variety of applications, including navigation systems, military, weather monitoring, telecommunications, and more. The SatCom industry has turned to higher-frequency bands to support the ever-increasing demand for bandwidth, such as the X, Ku, K, and Ka bands. In an era where demands for high data rates are ever increasing, there is a need to focus on one of the key sections of the RF front end, , the antenna. Unfortunately, antennas are often overlooked in an RF…
