The MAUC-010506 is an integrated up-converter featuring a typical conversion gain of 14 dB, an image rejection of 25 dBc, and 21 dBm third order intercept (IIP3). The device includes an LO doubler, LO buffer amplifier, and RF buffer amplifier. Variable gain can be achieved by adjusting the bias, with turn-down trajectories optimized to maintain linearity and 2xLO leakage over the gain control range.

Renaissance has designed a high power drop-in isolator for IFF transceiver application. Covering 1020 to 1040 MHz, this isolator has just 0.40 dB of insertion loss over -30 to +70 C while handling 100 W forward and reverse power levels.
Agilent Technologies Inc. introduced the E5063A PCB Analyzer for printed circuit board impedance test in manufacturing. The solution offers technology breakthroughs in accuracy and repeatability and reproducibility (R&R). The analyzer also provides a dedicated user interface with broader language support, and more robustness against electrostatic discharge for PCB manufacturing environments.
Agilent announced the newest version of its Command Expert software for faster and easier instrument control in many test application development environments.
Custom MMIC, a developer of performance-driven monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs), is introducing two DC-18 GHz SPDT non-reflective switches, the CMD195C3 and the CMD196C3. While both switches cover the same bandwidth and are housed in the same 3 x 3 mm RoHS-compliant SMT package, they differ in their insertion loss.
Linear Technology announces the LTC5577, a 300MHz to 6GHz active down converting mixer with outstanding +30 dBm IIP3 (Input Third Order Intercept) and 0 dB conversion gain. The LTC5577 has wide operating frequency capability, covering all cellular bands from 450 MHz to 3.6 GHz with a single part. It’s IF output port, usable from1 MHz to 1.5 GHz, delivers flat conversion gain performance to over 600 MHz bandwidth.
PMI Model No. P6T-2G18G-60-T-512-SFF-LV is a single pole, six throw, absorptive, low video transient, solid state switch operating over the frequency range of 2.0 to 18.0 GHz. This model has a maximum insertion loss of 4.0 dB and a minimum isolation specification of 60 dB with video transients of 2 mV typically.
Linear Technology announces new high reliability H grade and military MP grade versions of the LTC3612, a high efficiency, 4 MHz synchronous buck regulator that incorporates a constant frequency, current mode architecture. The device can deliver up to 3 A of continuous output current at output voltages as low as 0.6 V from a 3 mm x 4 mm QFN or a thermally enhanced TSSOP-20 package.
Model Number PS-5G18G-400-A-SFF is a 5 to 18GHz, low phase noise, analog phase shifter with capability for phase shifting from 0 to 400 degrees. The unit operates from a single positive control voltage of 0 to +10 VDC with a phase voltage sensitivity of 40 degrees per volt. This model can be used with the SMA connectors or in a surface mount configuration.
KRYTAR Inc. announces a new directional coupler operating in the frequency range of 12.4 to 18.0 GHz offering nominal coupling of 30 dB in a extremely compact package. Model 181230 adds to the family of directional couplers offering superior performance over the 4.0 to 20.0 GHz frequency range. KRYTAR’s Model 181230 delivers 30 dB (±1.0 dB) of nominal coupling (with respect to output) and frequency sensitivity of ±0.7 dB.
