RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for a 10MHz to 6GHz RF power limiter capable of handling 100 watts of pulsed input power. Peregrine Semiconductor’s PE45361 is a monolithic structure 8 times smaller than discrete, PIN-diode solutions and eliminates thermal hysteresis. The adjustable input 1dB compression point (limiting threshold) is set from +7 to +13dBm via a low current control voltage (VCTRL), eliminating the need for external bias components such as DC blocking capacitors, RF choke inductors and bias resistors.  Fast response time of <1ns ensures instantaneous protection of sensitive components and rapid return to normal operation. Highly flexible…

RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for a 5GHz front end module (FEM). The Qorvo RFFM4555 integrates a low noise amplifier (LNA) with a SPDT switch for 802.11a/n/ac applications in the 4.9 to 5.925GHz frequency range. LNA gain is 13dB and offers a bypass mode with 6dB loss characteristics. Transmit to antenna path loss is only 0.6dB. Applicable for customer premise equipment (CPE), set-top box (STB), access points, picocells and femtocells, the RFFM4555 can handle up to 33dBm at the TX input. With a 1.5×1.5mm footprint, this FEM minimizes PCB usage.
