Renaissance Electronics has designed a 6 x 6 programmable delay line (PDL) matrix that can be used to simulate phased array radar and antenna testing. Each of the 6 inputs is connected to dividers, programmable attenuators (91/1 dB) and a programmable delay line (10 bit, 5 ps step, DC - 3 GHz) internally. 

Renaissance has recently manufactured a 50 kW peak power circulator that can sustain 300 W CW operating at 775 to 920 MHz.  The input and output connectors are 7/8” EIA and the third port has a HN connector.

Renaissance's 3SLE2NAJ is a compact surface mount (0.394 sq-inch footprint) that covers 420 to 450 MHz. With a low insertion loss of 0.8 dB and isolation exceeding 15 dB over 0 to 55 C, it is ideal for short range PA system applications.

In an effort to address customer inputs and in the spirit of our commitment to continuous improvement, the Renaissance/HXI extremely low latency GigaLink LightSpeed radio link has been improved for ease of deployment and increased range performance.

Renaissance’s new broadband circulator is ideal for transmitter protection application.  Operating over 962 to 1213 MHz, this device can withstand 2000 W peak and 20 W average power levels.  It is designed to sustain temperatures from -55 to +120 C while the loss is maintained below 0.5 dB.

Renaissance has designed a Ka band microstrip isolator that can handle 2W forward and reverse for satcom applications. It is designed with a compact size of 5 x 6 mm case.  It provides low insertion loss in the forward direction and high isolation in the reverse.

Renaissance Electronics Corporation’s System Group has designed a dual 48 x 4 switch matrix for ATE applications that can cover from 700 MHz (LTE) to 6 GHz (Wi-Fi) frequencies. Using high reliability solid state switches, the switching speed is on the order of nanoseconds helping test handsets and other portable communication devices with minimum delay time.

The HGM and HGV series Gunn Oscillators cover the 7 to 150 GHz frequency range. A wide variety of designs provide solutions for most applications. Units are available with mechanical and/or electrical tuning, providing many possible tuning configurations.

The HHPAE-459 power amplifier covers the frequency range from 71.0 to 76.0 GHz. The amplifier has an output P1dB of +18 dBm with small signal gain of 29 dB. MMIC technology is employed for high reliability and repeatability.

Renaissance Electronics has designed a new drop-in isolator for Satcom applications covering the 30 to 33 GHz frequency range (Model No. 2L9NEU-RoHS). The unit has less than 1 dB Insertion Loss and more than 16 dB Isolation and Return Loss over the temperature range -20 to +60°C.
