RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for a medium-power, super-broad band power amplifier from Aethercomm. Model number SSPA 0.001-6.000-5 operates from 1 MHz to 6 GHz and delivers a saturated output power of 5 to 10 Watts. This GaN amplifier was designed for broadband jamming and communication system platforms and also laboratory applications where a wideband power amplifier is needed. Offering a typical gain of 30-40 dB with a typical power gain flatness of ±4 dB, the SSPA 0.001-6.000-5 class AB quiescent current is ~1.17 amps using a 28 Vdc supply. The amplifier can be blanked on and off…
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for a GaAs pHEMT balanced amplifier IC. Qorvo’s model QPB8896 provides 25 dB gain with 1.8 dB of noise figure for DOCSIS 3.1 and FDx, full duplex, return path applications. Capable of 5 to 700 MHz frequency range, the return path performance spans 5 to 300 MHz. 5V operation provides lower overall power dissipation in DOCSIS 3.1 optical nodes and amplifiers. Available in a SOIC-8 package.
RFMW announces design and sales support for a wideband, high-gain, high-linearity driver amplifier. Qorvo’s QPA9120 offers 35 dBm OIP3 for pre-driver circuits used in wireless infrastructure from 1.8 to 5 GHz, including dense array, 5G m-MIMO radios. With 29 dB of gain and P1dB of 22 dBm, the QPA9120 is an ideal driver amplifier for a variety of applications. Features include flat gain (1 dB gain flatness over 1 GHz bandwidth), 50Ω I/O internal matching and fast DC power shutdown. Operating from a single, 5V supply, the amplifier draws only 96 mA. Offered in a 3 x 3 mm QFN…
RFMW, Ltd. 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)…
