75 Ohm Terminations

BroadWave Technologies Inc. introduced two new lines of 75 Ohm terminations. Model 572-375-001 features an N male RF connector and model 572-376-001 features an N female RF connector. Both devices are 75 Ohm, DC-4 GHz, 1 W average power, exhibit 1.35:1 maximum VSWR with an operating temperature range of -55°C to +100°C. Delivery for up to 25 pieces is from stock to 1 week ARO.

Quadrature Mixer

Model SFQ-75311415-1010SF-N1-M is a W-Band quadrature mixer that covers the frequency range of 75 to 108 GHz. The typical conversion loss of the quadrature mixer is 15 dB with an LO driving power of +15 dBm. Since the IF port of the quadrature mixer is DC coupled, the mixer can be used as a phase detector. In addition, the mixer can be readily configured into an image rejection mixer or single sideband modulator by adding an IF quadrature coupler.

Front-End Module

Mini-Circuits’ model DVGA3-122+ is a miniature front-end multichip module with a wide 31.5-dB gain-control in 0.5-dB steps from 900 to 1200 MHz. It combines a low-noise amplifier, voltage-controlled attenuator with 6-b serial control, and reflectionless lowpass filter in a low-profile, 32-lead MCLP package that measures 5 x 5 x 0.89 mm and is a good fit for densely packaged printed-circuit boards. It operates from a single 5-V DC supply and provides +15.6 dBm output and +28 dBm third-order intercept (IP3) at 1 GHz.
