Push-on Connector
Nearly four decades ago, the RF design community was introduced to a new push-on connector that addressed the need for increased electrical performance, quicker installation and greater density in higher frequency applications. This design, commonly known as the sub-miniature push-on (SMP) connector, was built around a blind-mate adapter, or bullet, housed between two PCB or panel-mounted receptacles. The bullet, available in different lengths, tolerated a degree of axial and radial misalignment, or float, while still maintaining transmission integrity.

GaN RF Power Transistors
The GTVA261701FA is a 170 W transistor that operates over the 2620 to 2690 MHz frequency band and offers 18 dB of gain and 47 percent efficiency under one carrier WCDMA signal. In a 3-way Doherty configuration, an amplifier using the GTVA261701FA can achieve efficiencies of over 57 percent under the same test signal. The GTVA220701FA is a single-ended driver transistor that operates from 1800 to 2200 MHz and offers 60 W of output power and 20 dB of gain. It comes in an open cavity ceramic package. Evaluation boards are available for both devices.

Massachusetts Bay Technologies Booth 2430
Thin Film Chip Resistors
Massachusetts Bay Technologies, wire bondable, thin film chip resistors are fabricated, using sputtering tantalum nitride as the resistive material, on a highly polished silicon substrate. The company’s photolithography techniques can produce geometries of less than five microns. This tightly controlled process creates a resistor with a low TCR, low current noise as well as insignificant nonlinearity. These silicon resistors are available in several chip styles with resistor values from less than one ohm to over ten Meg ohms and can be laser trimmed to resistance values within 0.5 percent.
