RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for a discrete, 1600-Micron, GaAs pHEMT FET rated at 32.5dBm P1dB. TriQuint Semiconductor’s TGF2160 is the latest addition to a family of high-efficiency FETs constructed without via holes thereby allowing for self-biasing and eliminating the need for a negative supply voltage. Designed using TriQuint’s proven 0.25um pHEMT process which optimizes power and efficiency at high drain bias operating conditions, the TGF2160 offers 63% PAE at 8V and 517mA Idss. Applications include military, hi-rel defense and aerospace, test and measurement and commercial, broadband amplifiers up to K-band where high efficiency and linearity are required. A silicon nitride, protective overcoat layer provides a…
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for a 2-stage, high gain, low noise amplifier from Skyworks Solutions. The SKY67161-306LF provides 35-45dB of gain with a noise figure of only 0.3dB. Operating from 600 to 1100MHz, the Skyworks SKY67161-306LF’s active bias design enables high linearity coupled with unconditional stability for cellular infrastructure, repeaters and small cell applications. Gain is easily controlled with inter-stage matching to achieve desired gain with minimal impact to the device NF and linearity. Output P1dB is 24.5dBm from a 5V supply drawing 160mA. The Skyworks SKY67161-306LF is available in a 4x4x0.9mm QFN package.
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for TriQuint Semiconductor’s TQM8M9079 variable gain amplifier (VGA) with a 2200MHz instantaneous band width. Covering 500 to 2700MHz, the TQM8M9079 combines two gain blocks with a voltage variable attenuator (VVA) to provide 38dB of gain with 30dB gain variation range. The TriQuint TQM8M9079 draws 95mA of current from a 5V supply to provide 16dBm P1dB. Ideal for L-band radio, IF gain control in PTP systems or repeaters, the TQM8M9079 is housed in a compact, 5x5mm QFN package.
RFMW, Ltd. announces application and sales support for the Telemakus, LLC TEA13000-12 USB Controlled Digital Attenuator.
