Richardson RFPD Inc. has announced availability and full design support capabilities for a group of high performance quadrature modulators and demodulators for operation at frequencies up to 2.4 GHz from Analog Devices Inc. (ADI). The devices offer a combination of performance, broadband operating frequency, and flexible device architecture.

Richardson RFPD Inc. announces availability and full design support capabilities for a 28-volt, 55 W, GaN on SiC HEMT, RF power transistor from TriQuint Semiconductor. The T1G4005528-FS provides 55 W RF output power (P3 dB), with greater than 15 dB of linear gain, and better than 50% drain efficiency at 3.5 GHz.

Richardson RFPD Inc. announces availability and full design support capabilities for a 28-volt, 18 W, GaN on SiC HEMT, RF power transistor from TriQuint Semiconductor. The T1G6001528-Q3 provides 18 W RF output power (P3 dB), with more than 10 dB linear gain, and >60% drain efficiency at 6.0 GHz.

Richardson RFPD, Inc. announces immediate availability of four new high-linearity driver amplifiers from TriQuint Semiconductor. These InGaP / GaAs HBT semiconductor devices deliver high performance across a broad range of frequencies.

Richardson RFPD, Inc. announces off-the-shelf availability for a complete set of key building-block RF amplifiers, each of which has been designed specifically for enhanced performance in demanding applications such as 3G/4G wireless communications systems. The product line is based on advanced semiconductor technologies, including InGaP HBT and Enhanced-Mode GaAs pHEMT (E-pHEMT).

Richardson RFPD Inc. announces availability and full design support capabilities for a series of Enhanced Performance SMA Connectors from Carlisle Interconnect Technologies. The EPSMA (Enhanced Performance) series provides mode free performance to 27 GHz. In addition, the connectors are tuned to provide ultra low VSWR to 27 GHz (typically 1.15:1).

Richardson RFPD Inc. announces immediate availability and full design support capabilities for the Xinger®-III line of components from Anaren. The Xinger-III line of 3 dB hybrid and directional couplers are the latest additions to Anaren's popular Xinger-brand of subminiature components for wireless infrastructure applications. The Xinger-III directional couplers are one-fourth the size of the Xinger-II line and offer 37-64% lower insertion loss (down to 0.05 dB).

Richardson RFPD Inc. announces immediate availability and full design support capabilities for the Xinger®-III line of components from Anaren. These low profile, high performance Xinger-III Doherty combiners are designed particularly for Doherty amplifier applications, where tightly controlled phase and amplitude imbalance as well as low insertion loss are required for maximum and low power condition.

Richardson RFPD announces two new additions to the family of GaAs pHEMT digital phase shifters from M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc. The MAPS-010146 and MAPS-010166 are, respectively, 4- and 6-bit packaged devices that maintain low phase error and minimal attenuation variation over the full 360-degrees and 8-12 GHz frequency range.
