Richardson RFPD Inc. announced the availability of three Quasi-MMIC GaN on SiC HEMTs from United Monolithic Semiconductors. The CHZ015A-QEG is a 15 W, GaN HEMT that offers broadband solutions for a variety of RF L-band power applications, the CHZ050A-SEA is a 60 W, GaN HEMT that offers broadband solutions for a variety of RF C-band applications and the CHZ180A-SEB is a 200 W, wideband GaN HEMT that offers broadband solutions for a variety of RF L-band applications.
RFMW Ltd. announces design and sales support for a high linearity, active bias, ultra low noise amplifier from Skyworks Solutions. The SKY67103-396LF offers mid-band noise figure of 0.6 dB for receiver applications requiring the lowest possible noise figure yet highly linear performance over a broad frequency range. Covering 500 to 4000 MHz, the SKY67103-396LF provides typical OIP3 of 34 dBm at 3.6 GHz for improved receiver selectivity and sensitivity.
RFMW Ltd. announces design and sales support for Peregrine Semiconductor’s PE43713, a 7-bit digital step attenuator featuring “glitch-less” attenuation state transitions, 1.8 V control voltage support and extended operating temperature range to 105 degrees Celsius. These features, in addition to a bypass mode that improves spurious performance make the Peregrine PE43713 ideal for test and measurement applications.
Designed to meet a demand among RF and microwave test engineers, this convenient-to-use and versatile amplifier covers the full 1 to 18 GHz frequency range. The rugged housing is suited to the busy laboratory environment. Built within a cast aluminium housing, 129 x 84 x 67 mm, the amplifier delivers 35 dB gain and +20 dBm P1 output power and comes complete with a manual on-off locking toggle switch for quick application and removal of the amplified signal.
Passive Plus, Inc., (PPI) in another industry first, now provides all of its leaded capacitors with a clear conformal coating. This conformal coating serves to protect the capacitor surface from contaminants, thereby minimizing the chances of an arc-over. As an option, if customer requires, PPI can also supply leaded capacitors without the conformal coating.
Mini-Circuits’ ZN8PD-362HP+ provides up to 100 W power handling as a splitter with just 1 dB typical insertion loss, supporting a wide range of high-power signal distribution applications from 600 to 3600 MHz. This model provides 23 dB isolation, 0.35 dB amplitude unbalance and 4° phase unbalance. It also achieves good VSWR of 1.15:1 (ports 1-8) and is capable of passing up to 1.2A DC current (150 mA each port) from input to output.
Mini-Circuits’ FCPM-6000RC integrated frequency counter & power meter is a pocket-sized (5.00 x 2.66 x 1.36”) precision test device controlled via USB or Ethernet (HTTP and Telnet protocols) or operated as standalone test instrument. It simplifies test setups by enabling synchronized frequency and power measurements from a single device. The unit features an LCD display allowing convenient readings directly off the measurement head.
2-way and 4-way, 30 W Wilkinson power dividers are optimized for excellent performance across all microwave and millimeter-wave bands from 6 to 26.5 GHz in (SMA) as well as resistive 2-way splitters covering DC to 26.5 GHz (2.92 mm). Also available are attenuators, isolators, terminations and couplers. Their rugged construction makes them ideal for telecommunications, aerospace & test equipment systems.
RFMW Ltd. announces design and sales support for Peregrine Semiconductor’s PE43711, a 7-bit digital step attenuator capable of maintaining 0.25 dB monotonicity through 4 GHz. Operating to 6 GHz, the PE43711 offers 0.5 dB monotonicity through 5 GHz and 1 dB monotonicity through 6 GHz. Featuring “glitch-less” attenuation state transitions, the PE43711 is ideal for 3G/4G infrastructure, land mobile radio (LMR) and point-to-point communication systems.
