Model STC-12-S1 is a single sideband E-Band down converter, which down convert the entire E Band frequency, 60 to 90 GHz, to an IF frequency from 2 to 32 GHz. The converter includes a Gunn oscillator, a full band balanced mixer, a highpass filter and a full band isolator. The built-in Gunn oscillator operates at 58 GHz with + 5.0 volts at 450 mA DC bias.

Model SFB-15-N2 is a V-Band, externally biased balanced mixer. The mixer employs high performance GaAs Schottky beamlead diodes, balanced configuration and proprietary bias circuitry to produce superior RF performance with very low LO pumping level. The externally biased mixer is capable for full RF waveguide band operation for both LO and RF frequencies from 50 to 75 GHz.

RFMW, Ltd. announces a web based tool that allows designers to create semi-custom Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCOs) and Phase Locked Loop (PLL) synthesizers. Designers can search a large database of existing products based on parametric requirements and jump directly to existing product information.

PMI Model No. PSD-6G16G-CD-1 is high power, switch box assembly that provides protection to front-end receivers when in the presence of high power signals.  This is accomplished by sensing the input signal level and then switching the input signal into 50 ohms terminations when a set threshold level is exceeded.  This assembly operates from 6.0 to 18.0 GHz and can handle input power levels up to 10 W CW.

PMI Model No. PS-360-3237-8-292FF is a high speed, millimeter wave, 8-bit digitally controlled, phase shifter that operates over the frequency range of 32.0 to 37.0 GHz.  This phase shifter offers a low insertion loss of 13 dB typically and maintains a VSWR of 1.8:1.  The total phase shift range is 358.593° having a step size of 1.406° and switches between states in less than 500 ns.

PMI Model No. PSD-2G6G-CD-1 is high power, switch box assembly that provides protection to front-end receivers when in the presence of high power signals.  This is accomplished by sensing the input signal level and then switching the input signal into 50 ohms terminations when a set threshold level is exceeded.  This assembly operates from 2.0 to 6.0 GHz and can handle input power levels up to 10 W CW.

PMI Model No. P8T-2G6G-90-T-55-SFF is a high speed, single pole, eight throw, absorptive switch that operates over the frequency range of 2.0 to 6.0 GHz.  This switch offers very-high isolation of 97 dB typical while maintaining a typical fast switching speed of 30 ns.  The operating input power rating is +23 dBm CW with an insertion loss of 3.5 dB.

Richardson RFPD, Inc. introduces the AirPrime™ SL Series from Sierra Wireless. With programmable capabilities, these wireless modules enable shared processing to reduce the size and cost of the final product. The standard 25  x 30 mm land grid array (LGA) package allows fully automated manufacturing for high-volume production.

Model SFQ-94394312-1010SF-S1 is a W-Band quadrature (I/Q) mixer. The mixer employs high performance GaAs Schottky beamlead diodes, balanced configuration and proprietary circuitry to produce superior RF performance.

Custom MMIC, a developer of performance-driven monolithic microwave integrated circuits, has announced a general purpose, double balanced fundamental mixer—the CMD178C3.  This new mixer can be used for up and down converting applications between 11 and 21 GHz.
