Although Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) MMIC switches can achieve fast switching, wide bandwidth and high frequency and power, most come at high cost. GaAs MMIC switch designs achieve comparable performance at considerably lower cost with distinct advantages. Read why Mini-Circuits’ GaAs MMIC technology switches afford a compelling alternative to comparable SOI models.

Expanded lineup of switching solutions for test applications with new 4-way and 8-way TTL-controlled solid-state switches. These models feature a unique architecture that ensures high isolation across a wide bandwidth from 0.1 to 18 GHz. 

Rise above the noise floor challenges of W-Band with the Mini-Circuits’ WVA-751103LNX+ WR10 waveguide LNA. The 21 ±3 dB of gain at a typical NF of 3.5 dB eases the burden of characterizing the system.

Mini-Circuits continues to expand our selection of MMIC transistors with two new models built with non-ferrous leadframes, suitable for MRI systems and other applications where non-magnetic materials are a requirement. 

Mini-Circuits President, Ted Heil and Board Chair, Alicia Kaylie Yacoby announced that Jin Bains will join Mini-Circuits as CEO starting in July.

Mini-Circuits’ BFHK-series of ultra-high stopband rejection LTCC filters accelerates the drive towards RF/microwave circuit miniaturization while completely redefining performance levels achievable by LTCC filters. The BFHK-series of filters now achieves stopband rejections in excess of 90 dB in a surface mount LTCC component consuming just a fraction of the footprint area of even high-k dielectric based planar solutions.

This presentation will provide a brief introduction to the hardware for IBM Quantum systems. We will explain why Quantum computers are so essential to technological progress at a high level and explore the components that enable IBM’s revolutionary quantum technology. We will also highlight several key concepts and showcase early use cases. In addition to providing some foundations on RF/microwave applications in quantum computing systems, this presentation will also confer an understanding of how the RF/microwave community can support IBM Quantum’s specific needs to continue developing its hardware roadmap.
