Low-Power Satcom Beamforming ICs

Analog Devices continues to expand its low-power, highly integrated satcom beamformer portfolio with the addition of its Ka-Band terminal beamformers. The ADAR3002 is a dual beam, four-element dual polarization receive beamforming IC operating from 17.7 to 21.2 GHz. The ADAR3003 is a single beam, four-element dual polarization transmit beamforming IC operating from 27.7 to 31.5 GHz. Their low power and high level of digital integration make them ideal for applications such as airborne terminals, manpack radios and satcom-on-the-move.

Outgassing Compliant USB Common Mode Chokes from Critical Products & Services

FRA Family common mode chokes virtually eliminate common mode noise in high speed, differential-mode signal transmission applications such as USB 3.0, HDMI, SATA, IEEE1394 and LVDS, supporting data rates up to 4.8 Gbit/s. They are offered in three standard sizes, 0603 (AR312FRA), 0805 (AR336FRA) and 1206 (AR376FRA), all of which pass NASA low outgassing specifications. The use of a chemically-resistive adhesive also helps these parts withstand aggressive solvents.
