A Microstrip Patch Antenna Using Novel Photonic Band-gap Structures The microstrip patch is one of the most preferred antenna structures for low cost and compact design of wireless communication systems and RF sensors. However, as applications move to higher frequencies, conventional patch antenna designs encounter severe limitations such as...
COMPONENTS 2.3 - 2.6 GHz Directional Coupler The model DC25-73 directional coupler operates in the 2.3 to 2.6 GHz band for wireless messaging applications. The unit delivers low insertion loss at 0.2 dB along with good isolation and coupling repeatability. The coupler is available in a small SOT-6 lead...
MATERIALS Eyelet Packages These TO-25X type packages are designed for power controllers and power rectifiers with 75 percent less resistance than standard glass-to-metal packages. The units feature a ceramic eyelet brazed to low resistance copper alloy pins and copper alloy on the ground plane. All components are attached with...
ANTENNAS PCS-/DCS-/ISM-band Dual-patch Antennas These antennas provide for reception and transmission in the 1850 to 1990 MHz, 1710 to 1880 and 2400 to 2500 MHz frequency bands with a low profile design for minimum visual impact, making it a good choice for discreet antenna installations. The units provide gain...
AMPLIFIERS GPS LNA Diplexer This LNA/diplexer assembly designed for use in Global Positioning System (GPS) applications features a 1.8 dB (typ) noise figure for both the L1 and L2 channels. Typical gain is 55 dB and third-order intercept point (IP3) is +30 dBm. Additional features include an input limiter...
DEVICES 100 W GaAs MESFET The type NES1823P-100 GaAs MESFET consists of two pairs of GaAs MESFET chips that can be combined externally in either a push-pull or balanced configuration. The unit is designed for 2.1 to 2.2 GHz base stations, but can be used in 2.3 to 2.4...
