RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for the TGA2627-SM. This 32dBm Psat GaN driver comes packaged as a 5x5mm, air-cavity ceramic QFN providing an SMT advantage over lower performance, DIE based competitors. The push-pull internal configuration provides low harmonic content of <40dBc over the 6 to 12GHz frequency span. Small signal gain is rated at >27dB. Target markets for the TriQuint TGA2627-SM include Radar, EW and communication systems. Using a 25V bias and drawing only 200mA, the TGA2627-SM is compatible with TriQuint’s high power amplifiers, easing the burden of multiple bias supplies.
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for a 5 to 8GHz GaN Driver Amplifier. The TriQuint TGA2599-SM offers 2W of output power with >23dB of small signal gain. Using a 25V bias and drawing only 50mA, the TGA2599-SM is compatible with TriQuint’s high power amplifiers, easing the burden of multiple bias supplies. The TriQuint TGA2599-SM is available in a small, 4x4mm plastic overmolded QFN package.
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for a family of linear output power amplifiers to support Small Cell and Repeater applications. The Skyworks SKY660XX amplifiers meet the stringent spectral linearity requirements of WCDMA and offer high PAE and margin. The SKY660XX family requires minimum design time and board space as they are fully matched and run off a single DC supply voltage. EVM ranges from 1.3 to 2%. All 5 Skyworks devices are offered in a 3x3mm QFN package.
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for the TGA2620-SM, TriQuint’s 16-18GHz driver amplifier delivering 19dBm Psat for commercial and military radar and 18dBm P1dB for communication systems. Small signal gain is up to 20dB. The TGA2620-SM draws only 30mA from a 6V bias supply. Fabricated on TriQuint’s 0.15um GaAs pHEMT process, the TGA2620-SM is packaged in a low-cost, 3x3mm, air-cavity QFN but is also available in DIE form as TriQuint’s TGA2620.
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for a dual channel Digital Variable Gain Amplifier. TriQuint’s TQC9311 offers the lowest noise figure for any currently available Dual Channel DVGA. The low noise figure of 3.8dB makes the TQC9311 ideal for use before a mixer in small cell and DAS applications. Covering 0.4 to 3.6GHz, the TriQuint TQC9311 complies with 1.8 or 3.3V logic, has a highly linear OIP3 of 36.5dBm and maintains 55dB of channel isolation. This TriQuint dual channel DVGA is housed in a 7x7mm, 32-pin package.
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for a 50W, surface mount, directional coupler serving 14.5 – 19.7GHz applications. The EMC Technology DN05Z15F provides a 15dB coupling factor with only 0.5dB insertion loss in the main band of 15-19GHz. Directivity is a strong, 28dB min. Maximum VSWR in the DN05Z15F main band is 1.3:1. As a purely passive device, reliability is assured. The DN05Z15F operating temperature is -55 to +85 degrees Celsius. EMC passive couplers offer highly repeatable, low loss alternatives to microstrip-on-PCB solutions. SMT devices bypass the challenge of transitioning from coplanar waveguide transmission lines to edge-coupled lines commonly…
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for NXP’s BGA6130, a single stage MMIC amplifier offering 1W (30dBm) output power. Driven from a single, 3.6V supply, the BGA6130 draws only 70mA of current. Typical gain is approximately 15dB and efficiencies >55% are achievable. The NXP BGA6130 features a simple quiescent current adjustment allowing class AB operation and a logic-level shutdown control to reduce supply current to 4 microamps. Activating the power down feature greatly enhances receiver sensitivity in transceiver applications. Ideal for ISM applications at 434 and 915MHz, this externally matched amplifier also serves WLAN, WiFi and small cell designs.…
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for ten new surface mount circulators from RFCI. Available at popular base station frequencies from 728 to 2690MHz, these pin-style, surface mount circulators offer 500W peak forward power handling and 80-100W reverse power handling depending on package size.
