Cavity filters and dielectric resonator (DR) filters are widely used in communication systems. However, the need for more efficient filters is even greater with the advent of new 4G networks overlaying the existing 3G infrastructure, particularly in areas of limited spectrum and base station resources. Requirements for high attenuation...
RF Micro Devices Inc. (RFMD) announced that it has production released the RF3932, a 75 W, highly efficient gallium nitride (GaN) RF unmatched power transistor (UPT) that delivers superior performance versus competing GaAs and silicon power technologies.
