Passive Multiplier

Model SFP-08215-S2 is a F-Band, ×2 passive multiplier that utilizes GaAs Schottky, beam-lead diodes and a balanced circuit configuration to generate second order harmonics with good harmonic and fundamental suppression. This multiplier requires an input frequency range of 45 to 70 GHz at +16 dBm RF power to yield typical 90 to 140 GHz at +2 dBm typical output power.

Front-End Modules

Skyworks introduced the SKY85772-11, a new addition to their family of front-end modules (FEM) that are designed for growing retail, carrier and enterprise Wi-Fi 6 applications. The 5 GHz FEM offers best-in-class power and linearity for devices such as access points, routers and gateways. The module’s logarithmic power detector allows for wide dynamic power range and its harmonics are FCC compliant, reducing filtering requirements. The solution also delivers 2 dB higher gain, improving linearity when compared to system-on-chip (SoC) architectures.
