Broadband Capacitors

Passive Plus (PPI) has developed larger broadband capacitors in four larger case sizes: 0201BB, 0402BB, 0603BB and 0805BB. Values available are 10 nF (10,000 pF) and 100 nF (100,000 pF), depending on case size. These capacitors are intended primarily for coupling RF signals or, occasionally, for bypassing them to ground, while blocking DC. The applications for which they are intended require small, surface-mountable devices that provide low RF impedances, i.e., low insertion losses and reflections, across extremely large RF bandwidths and temperatures typically ranging from -55°C to +125°C.

Dual Directional Coupler

The PCD-200-400-R5N40 is a 500 W, 40 dB dual directional coupler which operates from 200 to 400 MHz. It has an insertion loss of < 0.1 dB with a typical VSWR of < 1.1:1 on the primary thru line. This coupler also boasts a directivity of -27 dB with a coupling value of -40 dB ±1.5 on the forward and reflected ports. Connectors are Type “N” female on all ports with a unique feature of internal 50 Ω terminations. It is constructed using 6061,T6 aluminum with LASER Marked MIL-STD-130.

RF Chip Attenuators

Smiths Interconnect, a leading provider of technically differentiated electronic components, subsystems, microwave, optical and RF products, announces the launch of its new AT Series of RF chip attenuators from DC to 20 GHz. RF chip attenuators are components used in communication systems to reduce the strength of a signal passing through it. They play a crucial role in protecting systems from receiving a signal with a power level that is too high to process.
