RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for MECA low PIM, high-performance adapters. With right angle, bulkhead, in-series and between-series options, RFMW supports many distributed antenna system (DAS) interconnect requirements. PIM (Passive Intermodulation) is the non-linear mixing of two or more frequencies in a passive (or linear) device creating poor system performance. MECA’s Low PIM (-165dBc typ.) adapters offer rugged construction and excellent performance for in-building or tower top systems. For example, the ANF-DM-M01 is a N-Female to 7/16 DIN Male adapter with a maximum VSWR of 1.25:1 and supports systems up to 8GHz. ANF-DM-M01 adapters are rated for operation…
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for the Qorvo QPF4518, 5.150 to 5.925GHz, WiFi Front End Module (FEM). Optimized for output power and EVM performance the FEM incorporates 32dB of transmit path gain and 16dB of receive path gain while providing up to 25dBm of 11n, MCS0 spectral mask compliant output power. Internal filtering rejects unwanted 2.4GHz signals by 25dB and Rx path pinouts allow for additional filtering. Targeted to applications for retail and service provider products, the QPF4518 is listed on Qualcomm’s QCA9888 reference design. Offered in a 5x3mm QFN package, this FEM is available from stock at…

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.
