COMPONENTS

Notch Filter Bank

AM3129 is a miniature voltage-tunable notch filter bank covering the 1 to 6 GHz frequency range in a 9 mm QFN package. Six notch filters and two bypass paths with SP8T switches on the input and output are contained in the multichip module. Separate tune voltages provide precise control of center frequency and notch bandwidth. AM3129 provides an excellent filtering solution for receivers or transceivers requiring flexible frequency rejection, high dynamic range, low insertion loss, small size, weight and power consumption.

Fixed Waveguide Attenuators

Eravant is introducing a new line of precision fixed waveguide attenuators. They are manufactured with wire EDM to ensure high accuracy and a smooth internal finish. The attenuators feature anti-cocking flanges to reduce misalignment errors and sandblasting treatment to provide a durable, aesthetically appealing outer finish. WR-15 through WR-10 models are in stock right now. Other models (WR-42 through WR-06) are in development and scheduled to be released throughout the rest of the year.

Digitally Controlled Analog Phase Shifter

Model number PS-12-360-QQ1470 Option 107 is a 1.7 GHz, digitally controlled analog phase shifter with capability for phase shifting from 0 to 360 degrees. The unit consists of an analog phase shifter and a digital-to-analog converter. Eight logic input lines allow 256 discrete values of phase. This particular unit operates at 1.7 GHz with 360-degree minimum phase shift. An eight-bit digital control sets the phase with 1.41-degree resolution and switching time is 200 nS. Insertion loss is typically 4 dB and worst case insertion loss is 6 dB.

Low ESR Capacitor Assemblies

RFMW announced design and sales support for Knowles - Novacap SV Series capacitor assemblies. SV series capacitors offer high capacitance-to-volume ratio, low equivalent series resistance and low equivalent series inductance while reducing overall circuit board footprint. Vertical stacking of ceramic capacitors provides far superior performance than either aluminum or tantalum electrolytic capacitors. Up to ten, same size chips, may be stacked with various lead configurations to safeguard against thermal and mechanical stresses as with the SV2220BB476M101LNW-10R, 47uF 100V (VDCW) assembly.
