The Advanced Circuit Materials (ACM) Division of Rogers Corp. introduced RO4730™ LoPro™ laminates for base station, RFID and other antenna designs. RO4730 LoPro laminate materials combine low-loss dielectric with low-profile copper foil for reduced passive intermodulation (PIM) and low insertion loss. The specially formulated RO4730 LoPro thermoset resin system...

While markets for RF power amplifiers continue their slow decline in developed regions, two new developments – the massive wireless infrastructure rollout in China and the approaching wave of LTE deployments in the West – will provide a temporary lift over the next few years, according to the latest...

Crystek 's CRBV55FL-0136-0174 Red Box voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) operates from 136 to 174 MHz with a control voltage range of 0.5~4.5V. This VCO features a typical phase noise of -123 dBc/Hz @ 10 KHz offset and has excellent linearity. Output power is typically +9 dBm. Crystek’s Red Box line...

ANADIGICS Inc. recently launched a new high power, dual-band front end integrated circuit (FEIC) designed to address the growing demand for WiFi capability in size-constrained mobile electronics. The AWL9966 is a highly integrated device that provides in one small 4 x 4 x 0.6 mm package all the RF...

The Strategy Analytics annual forecast, “Semi-insulating GaAs Substrate Markets: 2008-2012,” covering the semi-insulating (SI) GaAs (gallium arsenide) bulk substrate market concludes that the strong inventory corrections taken in the fourth quarter of 2008 and first quarter of 2009 will prevent the severe sharp decline observed in 2001. However, the...
