RFMW announces availability of a portfolio of broadband SMD filters from Knowles (DLI). The portfolio is comprised of ceramic substrate filters using patented materials which exhibit excellent temperature stability and high K factors. Combined, these characteristics enable small size with high performance. For example, the B280LA0S is a 28 GHz bandpass filter with 1000 MHz pass band. Measuring 13.97x 3.56 mm, this surface mount filter offers 4 dB typical insertion loss with 40 dB out-of-band rejection. Catalog devices come complete with integrated shielding and the surface mount versions are designed for use on most RF PWB materials. Evaluation boards are…
RFMW announces design and sales support for a Southwest Antennas’ 4×4 antenna. Designed specifically for aircraft installation with multi-port MIMO and MANET tactical radio systems, the 1055-378 C-Band antenna is omni-directional with an operational frequency range of 4.4 – 5.0 GHz, and 5.3 dBi of peak gain. The antenna’s four RF ports and 45 degree slant left and slant right cross-polarized design provide enhanced polarization and spatial diversity for attached radio systems, allowing them to maximize data throughput and overall link budget. The mechanical design of this product has been specifically engineered and reinforced to withstand the higher wind speeds…

RFMW announces design and sales support for the world’s smallest ASIC based Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillator (OCXO) from Rakon. The Rakon U8176LF 10MHz OCXO meets the stringent requirements of 5G Remote Radio Head (RRH), small cell, optical network and microwave transmission system applications. Combined with Rakon’s renowned, patented Mercury+™ ASIC with advanced SC-cut strip crystal technology, this device delivers excellent frequency stability (≤±20 ppb) in a miniature, 7 x 5 mm package. Supporting frequencies from 10 to 50 MHz, phase noise is as low as -160 dBc/Hz.
RFMW announces design and sales support for a broadband gain block with differential input. The Qorvo QPA9143 gain block offers a 100 Ω differential-input to 50 Ω single-ended output allowing direct interface with transceiver DACs, thereby eliminating the need for a discrete balun. It is well suited for transmit path gain stages in 5G m-MIMO BTS and is optimized for 2.3 to 3.8 GHz applications. With 18.1 dB of small signal gain and 35.2 dBm output 3rd order intercept (OIP3), the QPA9143 has excellent gain flatness of 0.5 dB over any 400 MHz bandwidth and a CMRR of 35 dB.…
