RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for a Band 3 BAW duplexer filter. The Qorvo QPQ1297 supports Band 3 LTE, small cells, mobile routers and repeater designs with uplink pass band frequencies from 1710 to 1785 MHz and downlink pass band frequencies from 1805 to 1880 MHz. Passive Inter-modulation (PIM) is becoming a critical parameter for small cell duplexers and the QPQ1297 addresses this issue with BAW technology, yielding almost 30 dB better performance than comparable SAW technologies. No external matching is necessary with this single-ended design which offers low insertion loss and up to 53 dB isolation between…

RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for a high power, high isolation RF switch from Aethercomm. The SSHPS 1.0-2.5-200, Single-Pole, Double-Throw (SPDT) switch handles up to 200 Watts of CW RF power from 1,000 to 2,500 MHz for communication and Electronic Warfare systems. With typical isolation of 50 dB and 2 uSec maximum switching speed, the SSHPS 1.0-2.5-200 draws 500mA from a +28 Vdc supply. Operating from -30°C to +70°C up to 15,000 feet altitude, this switch meets MIL-STD shock and vibration specifications under operating conditions.
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for a high-performance, wideband, driver amplifier. Qorvo’s QPA2213, GaN on SiC amplifier provides >2 Watts Psat across a bandwidth of 2 to 20 GHz. Designed to support applications in EW, Radar, commercial and military communication systems, and test equipment, the QPA2213 has a small signal gain of 22-25 dB with a large signal gain of 16 dB. Matched to 50 ohms, it offers flexible DC bias conditions to optimize power output versus power added efficiency (PAE). Offered in a small, 4.5 x 4.5 mm, air-cavity package.

RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for a low current hybrid amplifier. Qorvo’s CATV power doubler model QPA3223 reduces system DC current requirements as it draws only 410 mA from a 24 volt supply. However, performance remains high due to the combination of GaAs pHEMT and GaN pHEMT die providing 21 dB minimum gain from 45 to 1003 MHz (23 dB typical @ 1003 MHz). Return loss is >17dB for faster design times. The QPA3223 provides excellent linearity and extremely low distortion for demanding CATV applications. Offered in a SOT-115J package.
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for a high gain, broadband RF amplifier. The Integrated Device Technology, Inc. (IDT) model F0424 operates from 600MHz to 4200MHz with up to 17.3 dB of gain. Designed to operate with a single 5V or 3.3V power supply using a nominal 70mA of ICC, OIP3 measures +40dBm with a noise figure of 2.3dB. The combination of low noise figure (NF) and high linearity performance allows the device to be used in both receiver and transmitter applications such as 4G TDD and FDD base stations, repeaters, DAS, point-to-point and public safety infrastructure. Flat gain…
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for a highly integrated Front-End module. Qorvo’s QPB9329 integrates a two-stage LNA and a high power switch in a dual channel configuration. Supporting applications across the 3.8 – 6.0 GHz frequency range, this FEM provides 1.8 dB noise figure for operation in the receive mode and 1.1 dB insertion loss in the transmit mode. The switch handles input RF power up to 8W average power while needing only a +5V supply for both switch and LNA operation. The QPB9329 switch LNA module is targeted for wireless infrastructure applications configured for TDD-based MIMO architectures…
