The AE600H9800 highpass filter has a cutoff frequency of 600 MHz and a passband of 2 to 10 GHz. Insertion loss at its center frequency is less than 2 dB, return loss is greater than 10 dB, rejection is at least 30 dB from DC to 932 MHz, and it is housed in a package measuring 1 x 0.7 5 x 0.243 in. The filter uses Type-N female connectors.
PMI Model No. P4T-2G18G-60-T-512-SFF-LV is a 2.0 to 18.0 GHz, single pole, four throw, absorptive, low video transient switch. This model offers 60 dB of port to port isolation and a maximum insertion loss of 3.2 dB. It has a switching speed of 50 ns max and is independently TTL controlled with an operating power of +23 dBm CW and a VSWR of 2.0:1.
PMI Model No. TD-2G18G-RL-CD-SFF is a high speed threshold detector designed to operate over the 2.0 to 18.0 GHz frequency range with an adjustable threshold level of -30 to -10 dBm and a VSWR of 3.0:1 max. This unit is supplied with field removable SMA Female connectors in a small package measuring 1.1" x 0.6" X 0.19".
PMI Model No. DTA-14G40G-32-CD-2 is a 10 Bit programmable attenuator with step resolution as low as 0.04 dB which provides over 32 dB of attenuation over the frequency range of 14.0 to 40.0 GHz. This model is offered in a slim line housing measuring 2.0" x 1.8" x 0.5" with 2.92 mm female connectors and operates on a single +15 VDC supply with only 40 mA of current consumption typically.
PMI Model No. P2T-500M18G-50-T-SFF-I is a terminated, single pole, two throw switch that operates over the frequency range of 0.5 to 18.0 GHz. This model handles +23 dBm CW input power with port to port isolation of 50 dB min. It has a low insertion loss of 2.8 dB max while still offering a fast switching speed of 50 nsec max.
RFMW Ltd. announces design and sales support for Skyworks SKY13446-374LF, a high isolation SPDT switch covering 0.1 to 6.0 GHz. Targeted at WLAN applications in the 2.4 to 2.5 GHz and 4.9 to 5.9 GHz bands, the SKY13446-374LF offers 38 and 30 dB typical isolation respectively.
Pickering Interfaces, a leading provider of signal switching and conditioning solutions, continues to expand its range of PXI modules with the introduction with a new 3U 16 Amp PXI switching module (40-161). The 40-161 PXI switching module is capable of switching currents up to 16 A and voltages up to 300 VDC / 250 VAC with hot switch power of 480 W at 30 VDC and 4000 VA at 250 VAC.
Pickering Interfaces, a leading provider of signal switching and conditioning solutions, has introduced an upgraded version of its popular LXI Modular Chassis. The 60-102B and 60-103B LXI Modular Chassis increase the Ethernet interface speed to 1 Gb from 100 Mb, as well as adding an IP display that shows the IP address of the chassis.
