RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for a high-efficiency power amplifier from Skyworks Solutions. The SKY66288-11 offers 33.5dBm of power at P3dB compression. For highly linear applications in small cell, massive MIMO and Band 46 (5.15 to 5.925GHz) cellular infrastructure, the amplifier provides 28dBm with <-50dBc ACLR. Gain at 28dBm is 34.5dB via three amplification stages. With efficiency of >25%, this internally matched PA uses a single, 5V supply and minimal external components. The high efficiency of the SKY66288-11 means that systems can easily meet the requirements for the use of Power Over Ethernet (POE) or other DC power…
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for MECA millimeter-wave Couplers, covering C to V bands. This series is available in 10 & 20 dB models covering 6-40 GHz with 2.4 mm connectors. For example, the MECA 750-20-23.000 has a 20dB coupled arm and is capable of handling 20W of RF power from 6 to 40GHz. Ideal for new 5G implementations, the 750-20-23.000 can be used in the RF chain for power monitoring or in test and measurement set-ups. Insertion loss is 1.3dB with directivity of 12dB. All coaxial connections are 2.4mm female.
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for a high isolation, multi-throw switch. The Qorvo QPC6082, single-pole, eight-throw (SP8T) spans a frequency range of 5 to 6000MHz and requires no external blocking capacitors. Absorptive by design, typical band 5 isolation is 31dB while insertion loss is 0.4dB. Offered in a 2x2mm QFN package, the QPC6082 handles up to 32dBm input RF for LTE infrastructure and T&M applications.
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for a series of Darlington pair SiGe gain block amplifiers from Qorvo.

RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for 27GHz, field replaceable connectors from P1dB, Inc. The P1CO-SAF2-FE018-27G is a 2-hole, panel mount SMA connector capable of accepting an 18 mil pin on the backside interface. It comes equipped with an EMI gasket that minimizes RF leakage when attached to a suitable housing. Field replaceable connectors are used when there is potential for connector damage to occur after an assembly has been deployed. A field replaceable connector mitigates the need to return an entire assembly for repair thereby saving time and money to make equipment operational. Beyond the P1CO-SAF2-FE018-27G, 2-hole, panel…
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for MECA low PIM, 380-2700 MHz terminations. PIM (Passive Intermodulation) is the non-linear mixing of 2 or more frequencies in a passive (or linear) device creating poor system performance in equipment such as distributed antenna systems (DAS). MECA’s Low PIM (-161dBc typ.) 10, 50, 100 & 250 Watt terminations offer rugged construction and excellent performance for in-building or tower top systems. For example, the LPT10-4310M is a 10W termination capable of handling full rated power to +85C without power derating. With a 4.3/10.0 DIN Male connector, the LPT10-4310M is IP rated 67/68 making…
