RFMW Ltd. announces design and sales support for the Qorvo TQP9218, a quarter watt (24.5 dBm) and highly efficient power amplifier covering 1805 to 1880 MHz. ACLR at 24 dBm is -48 dBc. The TQP9218 is internally matched for ease of design and offers good linear performance without the need for linearization. Running from a nominal 4.5 V supply, the TQP9218 draws 240 mA and boasts 16% PAE while offering 31 dB of gain.
Keysight Technologies Inc. introduced the world's first analyzer enabling a minimum of 100 pA level dynamic current measurements with a maximum of 200 MHz bandwidth, 1 GSa/s sampling rate and 14- or 16-bit wide dynamic range. The Keysight CX3300 series device current waveform analyzer is a new category of instrument and is ideally suited for researchers struggling with high-speed transient current measurements during advanced device characterization.
Exodus Advanced Communication introduces AMP3085. 8 to 12 GHz, 100 W Min / 120 W typical GAN module. It features instantaneous bandwidth from 8000 to 12000 MHz with 100 W minimum saturated CW power, 4.0 dB peak to peak flatness and 22 A max consumption. Suitable for any application requiring high power and wide band coverage such as TWTA replacement, EW, and EMI/RFI susceptibility testing.
Anritsu Company introduces software packages for its all-in-one radio communication analyzer MT8821C that support LTE-advanced UE downlink (DL) 4 x 4 MIMO and downlink carrier aggregation (DL CA) 5 CCs. The new software packages further strengthen the test functionality of the MT8821C and help create a single-instrument solution that can speed time to market and lower test costs of LTE-advanced chipsets, smartphones, tablets and M2M modules used in IoT applications.
Anokiwave Inc. announced it has extended its X-band IC product line with the addition of the AWMF-0106 front end IC. This product release completes the family of X-band radar solutions for commercial radar and 5G communications markets. The AWMF-0106 is an integrated power amplifier; low noise amplifier, limiter, and T/R switch intended to provide a low noise, medium power front end for the Anokiwave AWS-0103 and AWS-0105 high Rx input linearity X-band core IC solutions.
RFMW Ltd. announces design and sales support for the PE42723 UltraCMOS SPDT RF switch from Peregrine Semiconductor. Achieving -121 dBc second harmonic and -140 dBc third harmonic at 17 MHz, the PE42723 exceeds the linearity requirements of the DOCSIS 3.1 cable industry standard and enables a dual upstream/downstream band architecture in cable customer premises equipment (CPE) devices spanning 5 to 1794 MHz.
Barry Industries announces the introduction of an ultra-broadband, DC to 60 GHz chip termination for microwave applications. The TV0404FA-50R0JN-91 is a compact, 0404 (1.016 x 1.016 mm) size chip constructed of robust thick film on alumina with a wire-bondable input pad and epoxy or solderable ground. This 50 ohm impedance device is RoHS/REACH compliant and is rated at 250 mW on a 100°C mounting surface temperature.
RFMW Ltd. announces design and sales support for an AEC-Q200 qualified bulk acoustic wave (BAW) filter designed for 2.4 GHz WLAN/WiFi/blue tooth coexistence with 4G LTE and TD-LTE signals. The Qorvo 885071-A offers high rejection in adjacent bands B7, B38, B40 and B41 allowing these various technologies to operate simultaneously and in close proximity. Qorvo’s 885071-A has a usable bandwidth of 100 MHz (2400 to 2500 MHz).
