M/A-COM announced three new families of diplex filters designed for DOCSIS 3.0 and DOCSIS 3.1 infrastructure equipment. Available in plug-and-play vertical and horizontal form factors along with surface mount configurations, MACOM's new high-performance diplex filters are ideally suited for use in CATV infrastructure spanning nodes, system amplifiers, line extenders, drop amplifiers and RFoG ONUs.
Passive Plus Inc. is now offering our 0402BB104 broadband capacitors in both 25- and 50-volt (WVDC) versions. While the 25-volt version typically operates to 35 GHz with an insertion loss < 1.2 dB, the 50-volt version’s operating frequency range has been extended to 50 GHz, with a typical maximum insertion loss < 1.2 dB. These capacitors are intended primarily for coupling RF signals or, occasionally, for bypassing them to ground, while blocking DC. 
RFMW Ltd. announces design and sales support for XMA Corp’s 8582-6150-xx series of 2.4 mm, 50 GHz Attenuators. The XMA coaxial attenuators are available in standard dB values of 3, 6, 10, 20 and 30 dB and handle up to 1 W of power. Frequency DC - 50 GHz, VSWR ranges 0 to 26.5 GHZ to 40 to 60 GHz and operating temps are -55 to +100. The 50 GHz attenuators are in stock at RFMW and are ready to ship the same day.
Pasternack’s latest release of threshold detectors consists of 3 unique models covering broadband frequency bands from 2 to 40 GHz. Designs incorporate gain stages for higher dynamic range that cover input power levels ranging from -45 dBm to 0 dBm with a typical threshold variation over frequency of ± 0.5 dB. One model supports a fixed threshold while the other 2 models support an adjustable threshold setting.
Passive Plus Inc. now offers a low ESR/ESL EIA capacitor series. These multi-layer capacitors have been developed for high-Q and microwave applications, exhibit NP0 characteristics and are RoHS compliant. Values range from 0.1 pF to 1000 pF and 25 to 1000 V. Data sheets, along with S-Parameter and modeling data, for each of the case sizes are on the PPI website.
Analog Devices Inc. introduced a high-performance clock jitter attenuator designed to support the JESD204B serial interface standard for connecting high-speed data converters and field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) operating in base station designs. The HMC7044 delivers 50-fs jitter performance, which improves the signal-to-noise ratio and dynamic range of high-speed data converters, and the device provides 14 low-noise and configurable outputs.
Passive Plus is offering low ESR microwave capacitors in 0201N case size. The 0201N series included value range 0.1pF to 100pF, size .020" x .010", wvdc 25 V, and TC: 0 +/- 30 PPM/°C (-55°C - +125°C) - 0 +/- 60 PPM/°C (125°C - +175°C). Parts are available in tape and reel sizes of 500 pcs or 15,000 pcs. Engineering design kits are also available. The 0201N data sheet, S-Parameter and modeling data are available.
Richardson RFPD Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for a new series of terminations and attenuators from Radiall. The Platinum Series is part of Radiall’s global Test & Measurement offering and features easy integration for communication matrices, test benches and laboratories where high RF performance and reliability are essential. The product range includes terminations and attenuators up to 40 GHz, with a variety of commonly-used connectors
Richardson RFPD Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for a range of Xinger® couplers for aerospace and defense applications from Anaren. Offering a wide bandwidth range, high isolation/directivity, low insertion loss and ENIG plating finish, these high-reliability hybrid and directional couplers are ideal for aerospace and defense applications where size, weight and power (SWAP) are critical.
