Low PIM Switch for T&M

Low PIM Switch for T&MThe saving potential of SPINNER’s low PIM switches in RF testing environments is immense. They spare you the hassle of undocking and re-docking measurement cables when performing different measurements on the same DUT. Technically speaking, these are DPDT switches with two parallel-switching inputs and outputs. They are available with 7-16 and 4.3-10 connectors and specified for -165 dBc (typ. -170 dBc).

UltraCMOS SPDT RF Switch: PE42422

PE42422RFMW Ltd. announces design and sales support for the PE42422 UltraCMOS SPDT RF switch from Peregrine Semiconductor. The enhanced frequency range of the PE42422 pushes down to 5 MHz providing broadband performance from 5 to 6000 MHz. Typical insertion loss of 0.25 dB at 1000 MHz with 44 dB isolation is maintained. This reflective switch integrates on-board CMOS control logic requiring no external components.

Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator: VT-706

VT-706Vectron’s VT-706 Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator (TCXO) in an industry standard four pin 7.0 x 5.0 mm package. Tight stabilities as low as +/-50 ppb can be achieved in this standard package, to support both legacy systems for backwards compatibility and newer designs where footprint compatibility with other precision oscillators remains a requirement.

Voltage Controlled Crystal Oscillator: VX-706

VX-706The VX–706 is a new discrete VCXO in a 5 x 7 mm footprint with improved phase noise and jitter performance previously only available in a 9 x 14 mm package (VX–501). As board layouts become increasingly dense, VCXOs must meet performance specifications and deliver it in smaller package sizes. The new VX–706 supports this progression with improved phase noise performance.

Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillator: OX-070

OX-070The OX–070 is a high stability ovenized crystal oscillator in a miniature atomic clock compatible footprint, capable of aging rates of 0.06 ppb/day and temperature stabilities of 1ppb over the industrial temperature range. Driven by an SC–cut crystal, the OX–070 has twice the temperature range, similar aging and temperature performance of the miniature atomic clocks. It also has better Allan Deviation and phase noise than commercially available miniature atomic clocks, at a tenth of the cost.
