Components High Isolation Nonreflective SPDT Switch The model AS186-302 positive control, GaAs FET IC single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) nonreflective switch provides high isolation of 50 dB at 0.9 and 1.9 GHz. Housed in a miniature MSOP-8 exposed pad package, the AS186-302 is an ideal building block for base station applications...

Amplifiers Pulsed Amplifier/Transmitter The series 1134 pulsed amplifier/transmitter operates over the 1030 to 1090 MHz frequency range with a frequency stability of ±10 kHz over the operating range. RF power is rated up to 2500 W (pk) and duty cycle is up to 10 percent. Harmonic suppression is 30...

Devices RF Power Transistors The model PTF 10149 RF power transistors exhibit a linearity of ±0.25 dB over the 920 to 960 MHz band and employ the company’s GOLDMOS technology which significantly improves RF performance. Best suited for GSM mobile phone base station transmitters, the transistors offer output power...

Integrated Circuits DC/DC Converter The company’s DC/DC converter has been integrated into the Palm VII™, the first hand-held organizer equipped with a wireless antenna that allows users to access the Internet, conduct e-commerce transactions, and send and receive instant messages. The company’s patented DC/DC converter design provides the Palm...

Antennas 10 - 40 GHz Radio Antennas The FlatFire™ point-to-point radio antennas provide superior sidelobe and gain characteristics while eliminating the conventional bulky shroud, resulting in a smaller, more rugged, attractive antenna. The antennas exceed all FCC, ETSI and BAPT requirements as well as EIA-195-C and EIA-222-F standards. Although...

Materials High Performance Laminates The RO4000® and RO3000® series laminates are designed to support the economical production of high volume circuits for specific applications in wireless communications designs. The laminates feature good electrical characteristics, including stable dielectric constant over temperature and low dielectric loss. The RT/duroid,® DUROID® and TMM®...

Sources Miniature VCXOs The CFPV-41/42/43/44 series miniature surface-mount voltage-controlled crystal oscillators (VCXO) are designed for SONET/SDH transmission systems in local telephone exchanges and local or wide area networks. The oscillators offer a high degree of frequency pulling (control of the output frequency via an applied voltage), thereby allowing degraded...

Processing Equipment Laser Stencil The LPKF StencilLaser features new concepts for control technology of XY-coordinates-tables and a laser source with a pulse rate up to 5000 Hz. Optimally adjusted to stencil production, the StencilLaser provides accuracy between 3 and 5 mm. The company also offers its QuickCheck and ScanCheck...
