Leadless SMT Ceramic Packages

Remtec extended its line of cost-effective, low upfront tooling, ceramic leadless substrates and packages to mm-wave. Etchable, high definition conductors (± 5 µ), low RF loss thermal hermetic vias and copper heat spreaders eliminate the need for an external metal housing, providing shorter low-inductance interconnects. Miniature size packages (hermetic if needed) are fabricated using PCTF technology, with integrated resistors, transmission lines, and multilayers and improved electrical and thermal performance. Remtec offers microwave modeling, design, test and assembly of MW packages.

GaN Power Amplifier

RFHIC introduced a molded styled power amplifier (GaN on SiC) generating 20 W and covering 20 to 1000 MHz. RWS05020-10 is based on GaN on SiC transistor, promising a solid reliability at high temperature; it provides a 36 dB of gain and a typical 43 dBm at P3dB with 50 percent efficiency. Moreover, the physical size of RWS05020-10 is only 2.1" × 1" × 0.5", which is much smaller than a typical business card.

RF Cable Clamp

Rosenberger introduces a Micro RF Cable Clamp whose ultra small size and excellent performance from DC to 8 GHz makes it the designers’ choice for high density applications. The mating cable connector is spring loaded; just push in place, wait for the click and the connector is locked in the correctly aligned position. The Micro RF Cable Clamp fits on pc board space of 5.0 × 3.6 mm and is < 2 mm in height, a perfect connector for premium space applications. The mating cable connector comes in a variety of configurations, including Cable Clamp to SMA, Cable Clamp to SMP and Cable Clamp to Cable Clamp.

S292 Connectors

San-tron has announced the release of a new series of 2.92 mm connectors. S292™ connectors have been standardized to Thunderline-Z’s TL-150 glass bead resulting in a transitional RF geometry that greatly reduces the tolerance sensitivity of the final product deployment. By matching the dielectric properties of Corning glass #7070 within the 50 ohm structure of a 0.012 diameter pin, the company achieves VSWR of < 1.04 through 12 GHz and < 1.18 through 40 GHz.
