EMC Technology introduces a new solution for temperature compensation, the AN7, an SMT planar style chip design. This new AN7 offers a small 0805 package size for TVA line and has excellent frequency response from DC to 6 GHz. The AN7 is suitable for high volume, pick & place and targeted for Telecom and WiMAX applications.

Florida RF Labs, a leading manufacturer of high power attenuators, terminations, and resistors, announces the availability of the 33A1054F and 33A1055F flange mount attenuators. These new attenuators are specifically designed for use in RF & Microwave circuits with high peak power requirements.

Florida RF Labs, a leading manufacturer of high power attenuators, terminations, resistors and coaxial cable assemblies announces the release of the 83A7038F surface mount technology (SMT) attenuator. The 83A7038F SMT attenuator operates from DC to 6 GHz and provides excellent impedance match in the entire frequency band.

The Conformable® BJ cable family offers the option of a hand-formable replacement to Semi-Rigid cable with only a slight isolation and Insertion Loss penalty. Florida RF Labs hand-formable cable assemblies come with a metal foil under the copper-tin composite shield for added connector strength and improved performance.

Specialized low loss cables

True RMS power detection from DC to 6 GHz. The Smart Load can be used in closed loop applications for power and fault detection as well as in feedback loops as a VSWR detector. 3 varieties are available with different response times and sensitivity levels.

Florida RF Labs introduces a new high-power termination. This device will dissipate 200W and operates from DC to 1 GHz. VSWR: 1.20:1 max. Available in two mounting styles: 2-hole flange 32-1201 and chip 82-3060. Each device is also available RoHS compliant.

The current drive for increased bandwidth will ultimately pressure the wireless community to exploit higher operational frequencies beyond 20 GHz. A major obstacle associated with high frequency operation is signal distortion which can be the result of nonlinear effects, typically introduced by active devices. Signal distortion resides on the...

Most of the high power resistors used in RF and Microwave frequencies are found in Wilkinson power dividers/combiners in power distribution circuits. For best performance, the 100 Ohm isolation resistor, when used in a Wilkinson divider, should have very low capacitance to minimize the effects on insertion loss. Additionally,...
