RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for two, highly integrated front-end modules from Qorvo. The QPB9324 and QPB9325 combine a high power handling (52W) switch with two low noise amplifiers targeting wireless infrastructure applications configured for TDD-based architectures. The QPB9324 covers frequencies from 3.4 to 3.6GHz and the QPB9325 covers 3.6 to 3.8GHz. Noise figure for the devices is 1.15dB and 1.3dB respectively. Both devices offer receive gain of 33.5dB with transmit insertion loss of 0.5dB. Running from a 5 volt supply, they draw 240mA in receive and 140mA in transmit. Offered in a 8x8mm, leadless surface mount package.
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for dipole antennas with integrated gooseneck transmission lines and internal bandpass filtering. The Southwest Antennas’ 1001-134 includes a 3-pole, bandpass filter to reduce interference from co-located radios operating outside the antenna’s 1.35 to 1.40GHz operational frequency range. The half-wave dipole antenna has a gain of 2.15dBi and comes equipped with a black chrome, reverse polarity TNC male connector. The internal filter can handle 8W CW RF power. The 1001-134 antenna with integrated RF gooseneck is ideal for handheld video receivers, portable radio systems or any other mobile communication platform. The RF gooseneck can…
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for the Qorvo QPA9805, 700 to 1000MHz balanced amplifier.
