Skyworks Solutions Inc. unveils an integrated, single-stage, low-cost PIN diode limiter module to address the growing need for full receiver low-noise amplifier protection in microwave applications. The SKY16601-555LF is a low threshold/insertion loss/distortion module in a surface-mount package meant for use as a passive receiver protector in wireless or other RF systems for frequencies up to 6 GHz. 
Agilent Technologies Inc. introduced Advanced Design System DDR4 Compliance Test Bench, which enables a complete workflow for DDR4 engineers from simulation of a candidate design through measurement of the finished prototype. The compliance test bench is available as an add-on to Advanced Design System 2014.01 software from Agilent EEsof EDA.
RFMW Ltd. announces design and sales support for a unique low noise amplifier/gain block. TriQuint’s TQL9044 offers market leading 0.6 dB noise figure from 1.5 to 4 GHz. Integrated bypass modes allow circuit designers the ability to control both LNA shutdown and internal bypass switching. Three modes are available: LNA off, bypass off; bypass on, LNA off; bypass off, LNA on.
RFMW Ltd. announces design and sales support for Peregrine Semiconductor’s SP4T switch, PE42442. The PE42442 offers the best combination of high isolation and low insertion loss for a 50 ohm absorptive SP4T with 52 dB isolation and 1.15 dB insertion loss at 2.7 GHz. Operating with supply voltages as low as 2.3 V, the PE42442 maintains a +58 dBm IIP3.
Linear Technology Corp. introduces the LTC2668-16, a 16-channel, 16-bit voltage output digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with SoftSpan™ outputs, each of which can be independently configured for one of five selectable unipolar and bipolar output ranges up to ±10 V. Each rail-to-rail DAC output is capable of sourcing or sinking 10 mA with guaranteed load regulation and is stable driving capacitive loads as large as 1000 pF.
EMC Technology, a global power house in RF/microwave resistives and signal distribution passive components, has released a new series of low-loss wideband hybrid couplers. The innovative HybriX® signal distribution product family, WH0530TF and WH1727F are the flagships of the new wideband hybrid coupler series. 
RFMW Ltd. announces design and sales support for a wideband GaAs VPIN limiter capable of protecting sensitive components against high power incident signals. The TriQuint TGL2205-SM operates from 2 to 6 GHz with low insertion loss of less than 0.6 dB. It can limit up to 100 W incident pulsed-power with a low flat leakage of less than 16.5 dBm.
RFMW Ltd. announces design and sales support forTriQuint's TGA2216-SM GaN, cascode amplifier operating from 0.1 to 3 GHz. The cascode configuration offers exceptional wideband performance as well as supporting 40 V operation. The TGA2216-SM is ideally suited to support both radar and communication applications across defense and commercial markets as well as electronic warfare.
As satellite complexity increases, there is a growing need for qualified RF/microwave TVAC compatible subsystems. As a designer of custom RF/microwave test products for many years, we have worked with a wide variety of component manufacturers. Over the years we have developed special solutions that are successfully being used in TVAC chambers for satellite and satellite component testing.
