Filters

RLC Electronics has released its latest surface-mount cavity filter centered at 19.2 GHz, with 50 dB (minimum) attenuation at 18.6 and 19.8 GHz. These filters are perfect for small-scale, low-profile system integration which require low loss and high Q filters, and are suitable for reflow attachment, providing savings on size, cost and weight. This type of design achieves rejection of 60 dBc up to 3x and VSWR > 15 dB.

AMPLIFIERS

Solid-State Power Amplifier

COMTECH PST introduced a new GaN amplifier for ground or surface X-Band radar applications. The AB linear design operates from 9.2 to 9.7 GHz frequency range over an instantaneous bandwidth of 500 MHz. The amplifier design features self-protection for load VSWR, duty factor, pulse width, temperature, as well as a graceful degradation in case of a RF power module failure. An MTBF increase of 10x that of a TWT is achieved for greatly improved reliability and lower maintenance costs.
