GigOptix offers a suite of best-in-class E-band active and passive MMIC solutions that include power amplifier, power detector and Lange coupler MMIC for E-band communication systems.  GigOptix high-performance amplifier solutions enable transmission systems that enable industry leading high output power.

GigOptix provides a broad portfolio of MMIC amplifier designs including broadband amplifier MMICs covering DC to 50 GHz as well as high-frequency 70 and 80 GHz amplifier designs for E-band communication systems.

Linear Technology Corp.'s LTC3774 is a current-mode dual output synchronous step-down DC/DC controller that enables the use of very low DC resistance (DCR) power inductors by enhancing the current-sense signal. Power inductor DCRs down to 0.2 milliohms can be utilized to maximize converter efficiency (up to 95%), increase power density and reduce the output ripple voltage in high current applications.

RFMW, Ltd. announces design, sales support and availability of TriQuint Semiconductor’s TAT8804D1H ultra-linear GaAs amplifier MMIC intended for output stage amplification in CATV infrastructure applications where flat gain and low distortion are key considerations.

Richardson RFPD, Inc. introduces a new 50 V gallium nitride on silicon carbide (GaN on SiC) RF power high-electron-mobility transistor (HEMT) from Microsemi Corporation (Microsemi). The 0912GN-650V is internally-matched and capable of providing over 17 dB gain, 650 W of pulsed RF output power at 128 μs pulse width and 10% duty factor across the 960 to 1215 MHz band.

This particular set of high power HPAs build on the size, weight and power advantages already demonstrated with commercial product releases in the broad market, “size matters” product family. This recent and unique SATCOM solution delivers 2 kW P1dB (CW, digital modulated signal) in L-Band and a companion product delivers 800 W P1dB (CW, digital modulated signal) in S-Band.

MACOM, a leading supplier of high performance RF, microwave, and millimeter wave products, has announced a new GaN unmatched wideband transistor in SOT-89 package that is ideally suited to 50 V operation in driver and power applications.
