Below are some of the new switches, filters, duplexers, dividers and other front end products being highlighted at IMS 2009 including some exciting new tunable technologies: Trilithic Inc. released a small footprint diplexer for the DC to 2000 MHz band. Featuring low pass rejections of 60 dB minimum from...

With the launch of the Battery Unit option (option 23/85), Pendulum Instrument ’s CNT-90XL family of Microwave Counters/Analyzers now gets truly portable operation. Operation time in field use is 4.5 to 8 hours depending on actual configuration. In stand-by mode, the battery unit can supply an internal OCXO (Oven...

Aeroflex/Inmet announces a new, 12 GHz Pulsed Bias Tee. When the introduction of a high frequency control signal is needed, the optimized DC bandwidth allows for use in high frequency baseband, switching and modulation applications. Designed for both the lab environment and field use, this rugged pulsed bias tee...

Trilithic Inc. has released a new series of broadband power dividers featuring frequencies from 2 to 18 GHz. These compact Wilkinson designs use single or multistage designs that include 2-way, 4-way and 8-way configurations. The octave band models feature low insertion loss and high port-port isolation, typically > 20...

JQL Electronics Inc. announces its new Thincore™ waveguide isolators and circulators. The new Thincore line is designed for point to point base station applications with ultra compact size and reliable performance. Key models includes WR42 (17.6 to 19.7 GHz, 21.2 to 23.6 GHz) with 9.5 mm thick, WR 28...

HIRAI LTCC foundry service provides its featured 2D/3D hybrid fabrication technology for high Q multi-layered substrates of micro- and millimeter-wave applications. Exhibited are the millimeter-wave module that integrates a slot array antenna, a hollow layer underneath, a post-wall waveguide and an aperture coupled waveguide-to-microstrip line transition, presently under development...

Pole/Zero introduces its Extended Range Filter, a digitally tunable, two-pole bandpass filter providing continuous coverage from 30 to 512 MHz. The Extended Range Filter has been designed for integration in radio transceivers where small size and low power consumption are paramount. The filter has a 3 dB bandwidth of...

Power Module Technology introduces the PP88-108-1500, a very high power Class AB pallet amplifier providing 1500 W CW Power output. Featuring the latest generation of LDMOS transistors, the PP88-108-1500 provides the most CW FM power available anywhere in the world today. Thermal tracking bias allows the PP88-108-1500 to operate...

Attendees of The International Microwave Symposium (IMS) will hear from leading researchers on the subject of metamaterials ― one of the most compelling, and most debated, research topics in the microwave space ― in a special evening rump session entitled “Metamaterials: A Rich Opportunity for Discovery or an Over-Hyped...

Freescale Semiconductor has introduced five laterally diffused metal oxide semiconductor (LDMOS) field effect transistors (FET) for commercial aerospace applications. The expanded RF portfolio includes L-band (965 to 1215 MHz) devices and the first LDMOS FETs for aerospace applications at S-band (3.1 to 3.5 GHz). Freescale will showcase these devices...
