Compact, Broadband Blocking Capacitors
Knowles’ Milli-Cap® broadband blocking capacitors are designed to minimize parasitics and deliver stable, low loss performance across wide frequency ranges. Their ultra-high series resonance and very low inductance make them ideal for demanding RF applications like test equipment, fiber-optic modules and broadband mmWave systems. With 0201, 0402 and 0602 footprints, they conserve board space while behaving like ideal capacitors, ensuring signal integrity and efficiency where every fraction of a dB matters.

30 kHz~1.0 GHz Broadband Power Limiter
Model PL0100-01-30 is a PIN-diode based power limiter module designed to protect RF systems from ESD and input power surge damages up to 30 dBm power. It operates in the frequency range from 30 kHz to 1.0 GHz with 0.2 dB typical insertion loss and 1.2:1 max. VSWR. Compression starts when the input power reaches +7dBm and the leaked power at +27 dBm is less than +13 dBm. The package size of the amplifier is 0.75 × 0.70 × 0.4 in.

TEST & MEASUREMENT
Port Extender
Copper Mountain Technologies (CMT) introduced the 75 Ω PE0312-75 port extender, which expands CMT’s product portfolio for 75 Ω test solutions. This new product enhances the flexibility of multi-port testing for broadband, telecommunications, cable and RF research and production applications in 75 Ω environments. The PE0312-75 is a USB-controlled, 12-port extender or switch, designed specifically for 75 Ω measurements. It enables seamless expansion from a 2-port VNA to 12 ports for multiple devices or multi-output DUTs, without the need for re-cabling, streamlining complex test configurations.
