RFMW announces design and sales support for a fully matched GaN IMFET from Qorvo. The QPD9300 provides 34 Watts of pulsed RF power from 9.2 to 9.7 GHz for narrowband and marine Radar applications. Linear gain is 9 dB from this internally matched, discrete GaN on SiC HEMT device. Supporting 28V operation, the device is housed in a low thermal resistance package.
RFMW announces design and sales support for an RF switch designed to support cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) connectivity. The Skyworks Solutions SKY5A1007 is a CMOS, silicon-on-insulator (SOI) double-pole, double-throw (DPDT) switch with high-linearity performance operating from 0.4 to 5.9 GHz. Low insertion loss of 0.7 dB enables increased range while high isolation of 30 dB reduces influence from adjacent channels. The SKY5A1007 enables high speed switching between antennas for high data throughput and minimizes the need for additional filtering. Extended operating temperature range of -40 to 105°C meets the necessary requirements for 5G automotive telematics including operation within cellular, 5GNR and…
