Richardson RFPD Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for a new active rugged antenna from Maxtena, Inc. The M1227HCT-A2-SMA is designed for L1/L2 GPS and GLONASS bands, and specifically for applications requiring greater accuracy than L1 antennas can provide. The M1227HCT-A2-SMA features a screw-on design, with an integrated SMA connector. It offers superior filtering performance and is rated for 50 V/m out-of-band interference.
Richardson RFPD Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for a new GaAs power amplifier from M/A-COM Technology Solutions. The MAAP-011022 high power balanced amplifier operates from 2.7 to 3.0 GHz, provides 7 W of pulsed power, and is designed to operate at an 8% duty cycle. The new amplifier provides rugged performance under load mismatch, and its balanced architecture offers excellent return loss.
Richardson RFPD Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for a new discrete GaN on SiC HEMT from TriQuint / Qorvo. The 55 W (P3dB) T2G4005528-FS operates from DC to 3.5 GHz and is constructed with TriQuint’s TQGaN25 production process, which features advanced field plate techniques to optimize power and efficiency at high drain bias operating conditions.
Richardson RFPD Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for an expanded portfolio of multi-octave, wideband MMIC devicesfrom Microsemi Corporation. The thirty-two additions to the portfolio include additional LNAs and medium-power amplifiers, as well as prescalers, voltage variable attenuators (VVAs), and amplifier modules. The new devices also extend the Microsemi MMIC family maximum operating frequency from 22 GHz to 65 GHz.
Richardson RFPD Inc. announced the availability from stock and full design support capabilities for four 1200 V SiC MOSFET-based power modules from Vincotech. The modules are available in two versions. The first is a flow3xPHASE 0 SiC three-phase inverter module with 3x BUCK/BOOST and split output topology. The second version is the flow3xBOOST 0 SiC with three-channel boost circuits.
Richardson RFPD Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for a new RF switch from M/A-COM Technology Solutions. The MASW-011055 is a high power PIN diode SP2T switch in a common anode configuration, operating from 30 MHz to 3 GHz. It features low insertion loss and excellent linearity and is capable of handling 100 W CW incident power at a base plate temperature of 85ºC.
Richardson RFPD Inc. announced today the availability and full design support capabilities for a new low passive mixer from M/A-COM Technology Solutions. The RF, LO and IF frequency ranges are 5 to 35 GHz, 3 to 33 GHz and DC to 4.5 GHz, respectively. The new mixer can be used for lower sideband (LSB) or upper sideband (USB) mixing, and two mixers can be combined in a quadrature configuration for optimal image rejection.
