RFMD adds four new high linearity, low noise I/Q converters

Four new MMIC Upconverter and Downconverter devices from RFMD offer high performance and low cost for high frequency applications. The RFUV1002 and RFUV1003 Upconverters incorporate an image rejection mixer, LO buffer amplifier, variable gain amplifier, and DC-decoupling capacitor. The RFRX1001 and RFRX1002 Downconverters incorporate an image rejection mixer, LO buffer amplifier, integrated LNA, and DC-decoupling capacitor. Each device is packaged in a 5 x 5 mm QFN to simplify both system-level board design and volume assembly.

GaAs Amplifier: RFCA3302

RFCA3302RFMD’s new RFCA3302 is a high performance InGaP HBT MMIC amplifier designed to run from a single +5 V supply without the need for an external dropping resistor. The high gain, high linearity, and low distortion from 40 to 1008 MHz make this part ideal for broadband cable applications. An integrated bias circuit provides stable gain over temperature and process variations.
