What made you select the Guerrilla RF’s GRF0020D? I’m excited to feature the GRF0020D this month, one of the first of a new class of GaN-on-SiC bare die power amplifiers from Guerrilla RF designed to meet the growing needs of industries such as wireless infrastructure, military, aerospace, and industrial heating. This product is the perfect solution for customers looking to integrate bare die into their custom MMICs. Offering up to 30W of saturated power when using 50V supply rails and 19W with 28V rails, the GRF0020D is engineered for high-performance applications, supporting frequencies up to 7 GHz and delivering a…
What made you select the Menlo Micro’s MM5622? For this month’s Expert Product Pick, I chose the MM5622 from Menlo Micro. This DC-coupled, 64 Gbps high-speed differential loopback switch is a world apart from traditional high-speed switches. With the MM5622, you can expect significant improvements like: 95% reduction in power consumption 1000x increase in lifetime = reduced down-time, maintenance and cost 165x increase in speed = reduced test time and overall cost 85% volume reduction = more parallel tests and easier routing Menlo Micro’s Ideal Switch® technology is unrivaled in SWaP-C advancement and the MM5622 is just the latest disruptor…
What made you select the Marki Microwave MPD4-0422CSP2? I wanted to feature one of Marki Microwave’s latest products coupling their compact Chip-Scale Package (CSP) to their industry leading, broadband performance. The MPD4-0422CSP2 is a MMIC 4-Way Wilkinson power divider/splitter with a revolutionary design allowing for drastically reduced footprints while maintaining impressive isolation at low frequencies. I’m also impressed that this isolation is maintained whether the device is operating as an equal amplitude/phase power splitter or a power combiner. For any application that prioritizes SWaP above all, this part is a game-changer. What are the key features and specifications of the…
What made you select the Marki Microwave ADM-8536PSM LNA? I chose Marki Microwave’s ADM-8536PSM because it is the industry’s smallest 2-20GHz high linearity, low noise amplifier. It’s the entire LNA solution, complete with an internal biasing network, DC blocking, and RF matching, all in a tiny, DFN-style package. Add in the low power consumption, the ADM-8536PSM is the ideal choice for reducing SWaP. I also want to highlight this part as a reflection of Marki’s push to expand their selection of offerings well past their industry-renowned mixers. For the past couple of years, Marki has been extensively growing their product…
What made you select Menlo Micro’s MM5620 Differential Dual DP3T Switch as a product to feature? How does this product differentiate from others/what value does it offer? The new MM5620 Differential Dual DP3T switch from Menlo Micro provides unmatched performance, efficiency, reliability, and integration all in one compact package. Based on Menlo Micro’s Ideal Switch® technology, the MM5620 supports the high-speed differential signal switching required in the latest PCLe, SerDes, and other standards. Ideal for high-volume production test solutions, the MM5620’s footprint is significantly reduced as its integrated loopback solution includes decoupling capacitors. What are the key features/specifications of the MM5620? Menlo’s…
