RFMW Ltd. announces design and sales support forthe TGA2576-2-FL from TriQuint. This 2.5 to 6 GHz GaN power amplifier provides 40 W of saturated output power with power added efficiency (PAE) of 36%. Suitable for EW, Radar, test instrumentation, communications systems or as an EMC amplifier, the TriQuint TGA2576-2-FL operates at 30 V and 1.55 A from its bias supply.

RFMW Ltd. announces design and sales support forwideband, DC-3.5GHz GaN transistors from TriQuint. Available as the T2G4003532-FS earless package or the T2G4003532-FL, both transistors are input prematched for S-band operation. The devices are constructed with TriQuint's proven TQGaN25 process, which features advanced field plate techniques to optimize power and efficiency at high drain bias operating conditions.

RFMW Ltd. announces design and sales support for the TGA2612 from TriQuint. Optimized for performance from 6 to 12 GHz, the TGA2612 features >22 dB small signal gain with 20 dBm P1dB. Noise figure is <1.8 dB while OIP3 is an industry leading 29 dBm. To simplify system integration, the TriQuint TGA2612 is fully matched to 50 ohms with integrated DC blocking caps on both input and output ports.  

RFMW  Ltd. announces design and sales support for TriQuint’s  TAT7460B1A, linear, 75-ohm, CATV amplifier. Designed for use from 50 to 2600 MHz, the TAT7460B1A addresses CATV and Satellite bands in a single part. 17 dB of gain is available from this 5 V, 100 mA amplifier which offers noise figure of 3 dBm up to 1600 MHz.

RFMW Ltd. and Aviacomm Inc. announced a distribution agreement effective April 1, 2014. The agreement initially covers customers in North America, Europe and South East Asia with the possibility of future expansion. Aviacomm is a leader in wideband RF CMOS ICs. RFMW Ltd. is a specialized distributor providing customers and suppliers with focused distribution of RF and microwave components as well as specialized component-engineering support.

RFMW Ltd. announces design and sales support for Sangshin Elecom’s  KSA series of Globalstar patch antennas.  The KSA-LCSP1621MS25 is designed specifically for Globalstar (1611.25 to 1618.75 Mhz) applications. This left hand circularly polarized (LHCP) antenna is tuned / tested for operation at 1621 MHz (5 MHz above the GlobalStar band) to accommodate frequency shifts that may occur in a radome.

RFMW Ltd. announces design and sales support fora 9 W GaN HPA from TriQuint. The TGA2595 supports VSAT and SatCom applications from 27.5 to 31 GHz. 24% power added efficiency highlights this multi-stage amplifier which draws 280 mA from a 20 V supply. The TriQuint TGA2595 offers 39.5 dBm mid-band saturated output power with small signal gain of 23 dB.

RFMW Ltd. announces design and sales support for Skyworks SMV2026 series of hyperabrupt tuning varactor diodes. The SMV2026-079LF is offered in the SC-79 package while a smaller, SOD-882 package if available for space constrained layouts. Low series resistance of 0.5 ohm at 5 V typifies this Skyworks varactor series and enables low phase noise in wideband VCO designs.

RFMW Ltd. announces design and sales support for the PE4312, 6-bit digital step attenuator from Peregrine Semiconductor. The PE4312 is designed for use in wireless infrastructure, portable radios and broadband infrastructure applications from 1 MHz to 4 GHz. Key features include excellent attenuation accuracy +/- (0.15 + 2% of attn at 2.2 GHz) and low insertion loss.

RFMW Ltd. announces design and sales support for the PE43705, a 7-bit, 31.75 dB digital step attenuator from Peregrine Semiconductor. The PE43705 offers an extremely wide operational frequency range of 50 MHz to 8 GHz. Internal circuitry manages unequal ON/OFF switch times providing a “glitch safe” design by eliminating the unknown attenuation issue that plagues other DSAs.
