A balanced architecture minimizes performance sensitivity to load variation and RF ports are DC coupled to ground for optimum ESD performance. With the advantages of GaN on SiC fabrication, the device draws 640 mA from a 26 V supply and is offered as a 3.4 x 2.6…
RFMW announces design and sales support for CML Microcircuits’ SCT2400, a highly integrated digital voice and data transceiver. Operating in the 2.4 GHz, ISM band, the SCT2400 provides secure communication links over long ranges, up to 12km line-of-sight, but with extremely low power consumption. Up to 100 mW of output power is achieved while consuming just 10 mA in scan mode, around 52 mA when receiving voice and just 64 mA when transmitting voice. CML’s voice coding expertise and advanced forward error correction maintains clarity and security in long range/low power radio systems such as Private Mobile Radio (PMR) and…
RFMW announces design and sales support for a WiFi 6 (802.11ax) front end module (FEM). The Qorvo QPF7219 optimizes an internal power amplifier for 5V operation while maintaining linear output power and leading-edge throughput across WiFi channels 1 through 11. Integrating a 2.4 GHz power amplifier (PA), regulator, single-pole two-throw switch (SP2T), bypassable low noise amplifier (LNA), and power detector into a small 5 x 3 mm package, it also contains DIE level filtering for harmonics and 5 GHz rejection. Designed for access points, wireless routers, residential gateways and CPEs in the 2402 to 2472 MHz frequency range, the QPF7219…
