Pasternack Enterprises, Inc., an industry-leading manufacturer and supplier of RF, microwave and millimeter wave products, has released their new 2016 RF Product Guide. The company’s new 264 page catalog contains thousands of in-stock products such as a greatly expanded portfolio of RF amplifiers and electromechanical switches, the industry’s largest selection of RF cable assemblies and hundreds of other passive, active and test & measurement components.
RFMW Ltd. announces design and sales support for the Qorvo TQP9326, a half watt, highly efficient power amplifier covering 2.3 to 2.7 GHz (bands 7, 30, 40 and 41). The TQP9326 is a fully integrated, 50 ohm module with 34 dB of gain and designed for applications using DFE or DPD. Running from a nominal 5 V supply, the TQP9326 draws ~115 mA and boasts efficiencies as high as 22%.
Analog Devices Inc. introduced a high-performance clock jitter attenuator designed to support the JESD204B serial interface standard for connecting high-speed data converters and field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) operating in base station designs. The HMC7044 delivers 50-fs jitter performance, which improves the signal-to-noise ratio and dynamic range of high-speed data converters, and the device provides 14 low-noise and configurable outputs.
Keysight Technologies Inc. announced it is collaborating with the University of Bristol on 5G millimeter-wave research. The collaboration combines Bristol’s leading-edge wireless research with Keysight’s deep experience and capability in millimeter-wave and ultra-broadband simulation, design, test and measurement. The work will contribute to the development of the new capabilities needed for 5G.
Richardson RFPD Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for a dual, 14-bit, 500 MSPS analog-to-digital converter from Analog Devices Inc. The AD9684 includes an on-chip buffer and a sample-and-hold circuit designed for low power, small size, and ease of use. The new ADC is specifically designed for sampling wide bandwidth analog signals. It is optimized for wide input bandwidth, a high sampling rate, excellent linearity, and low power in a small package.
Pasternack announces their expanded offering of gallium nitride (GaN) coaxial power amplifiers that includes GaN-based models featuring very high gain levels from 43 to 60 dB across mostly broad frequency bands ranging from 30 MHz to 7.5 GHz. Saturated output power levels range from 10 to 100 W with 20 to 35% power added efficiency. The thermal efficiency of GaN technology enables these assemblies to be integrated into smaller more compact coaxial packages.
Linear Technology Corp. announces the LT8631, a 1 A, 100 V input capable synchronous step-down switching regulator. Synchronous rectification delivers efficiency as high as 90% while Burst Mode® operation keeps quiescent current under 7 µA in no-load standby conditions. Its 3 to 100 V input voltage range makes it ideal for 48 V automotive systems, dual battery transportation, industrial and 36 to 72 V telecom applications.
