RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for an ultra-low-noise, bypass LNA gain block. The Qorvo QPL9096 spans 1700 to 2700MHz for wireless infrastructure applications. The integrated bypass function offers high linearity in bypass mode. At 2.5 GHz, the amplifier typically provides 25 dB gain, +33.5 dBm OIP3, and 0.75 dB noise figure while drawing 60 mA current from a +4.2 V supply. The QPL9096 is internally matched and only requires four external components for operation from a single positive supply: an external RF choke and blocking/bypass capacitors. Internal active bias maintains high performance over temperature. Offered in a 2x2mm…
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for Southwest Antennas’ half-wave, omnidirectional, dipole antennas. Originally developed for Joint Tactical Radio Systems (JTRS), these antennas span 700 to 2600MHz, handle up to 50W of input power and are applicable to many commercial VHF, L and S band systems. For example, the 1001-149 spans 1,250 – 1,850 MHz and provides 2.1 dBi of gain. Part number 1001-154 is similar but with a spring-base versus gooseneck. And part number 1001-152 offers an integrated, sealed and waterproof RF Gooseneck assembly with an internal GPS notch filter to help eliminate out-of-band transmitter noise. Applicable for…

RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for Sangshin QUBE antennas. Featuring a unique quadrifilar helix structure, the QUBE offers lighter weight than standard ceramic patch antennas (>85% reduction) for handheld RFiD reader applications. Increased bandwidth, wide beamwidth and circular polarization dramatically decrease the antennas sensitivity to surrounding signal interference sources, yielding higher performance over patch antennas. In addition, front-to-back ratio is increased for better directionality when scanning RFiD tags. Sangshin offers various size antennas to provide needed gain and allow for size constraints. Popular RFiD frequencies are addressed. For example, the KSA-891A6015B109B spans a 24MHz bandwidth from 887 to…
