RFMW Ltd. announces design and sales support for the TGL2927-SM, a 200 W (pulsed) limiter for radar applications in the 2 to 4 GHz band. Manufactured by Qorvo using VPIN technology, the TGL2927-SM offers low insertion loss of <0.6 dB with a high return loss of 15 dB. With a low flat leakage rate of <18 dBm, this limiter protects receive chains in both commercial and military S-band radar. 
Custom MMIC has developed a growing family of distributed amplifiers, called BroadRange Distributed Amplifiers™, with bandwidths from DC to 50 GHz. The distributed amplifiers provide industry leading performance in terms of dynamic range, frequency bandwidth and power consumption. The BroadRange Distributed Amplifier™ product line consists of over ten released products. The amplifiers are provided in low-profile die or QFN packaged.
The Model MFC147 from Smiths Interconnect’s TRAK Microwave brand provides 13.75 to 14.50 GHz coverage for civilian and military Ku-Band SATCOM applications, including in-flight entertainment (IFE) and UAV communications. The unit features a ruggedized design with innovative thermal management, utilizing surface-mount construction with no open die, to withstand challenging airborne environments.
Pasternack introduces the PEM009-KIT 60 GHz development system which offers designers the ability to perform product development and experimentation of single and multi-carrier high bandwidth modulation covering 57 to 64 GHz in the globally unlicensed ISM frequency spectrum. Applications include baseband development up to 7 Gbps data rates using WiGig/WiFi 802.11ad and 802.11aj IEEE standards.
RFMW Ltd. announces design and sales support for two Skyworks 75 ohm switches serving set top box (STB) applications. The SKY13547-490LF and SKY13548-385LF SPDT switches support both forward and reverse path applications for DOCSIS 3.0 and DOCSIS 3.1 with a frequency range of 5 to 1800 MHz. High linearity typifies these switches as well as low insertion loss (0.3 dB for the SKY13547-490LF and 0.4 dB for the SKY13548-385LF) and high input and output return loss of 20 dB.
Metrigraphics, a leading process development and manufacturing resource for sub-miniature circuits and electroformed structures, is now featuring its latest micron-scale flexible circuits and thin film devices. Micron-scale flexible circuits can be achieved with six or more layers high with traces (circuit lines) as narrow as 3 microns (11.81 x 10 - 5 inches). Circuits are flexible and thin enough to wrap around objects with diameters as small as a pencil.
RFMW Ltd. announces design and sales support for the MiniRF MRFXF0032 transformer. The MRFXF0032 is an unbalanced to balanced design with a 1:1 impedance ratio. Configured as a transmission line transformer, it covers a frequency range of 45 to 1200 MHz with superior insertion loss of 0.4 to 0.6 dB across this band width thereby supporting applications where power and noise figure are critical in the circuit design.
HUBER+SUHNER has developed a ground-breaking connector system for distributed antenna systems (DAS). It is field mountable and offers an easy assembling with its one piece design. In combination with an all-in-one cable preparing tool for ½” corrugated cables this connector system can be deployed extremely fast. HUBER+SUHNER Quick-Fit plus connectors are available for a variety of plenum corrugated cables with N, 4.1/9.5, 4.3-10 as well as 7/16 interfaces.
RFMW Ltd. announces design and sales support for two Skyworks low noise amplifiers (LNAs) for set top box (STB) applications. The SKY65450-92LF and SKY65452-92LF both provide high linearity (28.4 dBm OIP3) and excellent gain (15 dB) over a wide bandwidth of 40 to 1000 MHz. Characterized for 75 ohm environments, both devices are applicable to cable modems, home gateways, PVRs, DVRs, and terrestrial/cable set top boxes.
