Richardson RFPD Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for a new UltraCMOS® digital step attenuator (DSA) from Peregrine Semiconductor Corporation. The PE4314 is a 75Ω HaRP™ technology-enhanced, 6-bit RF DSA that operates from 1 MHz to 2.5 GHz and features glitch-less attenuation state transitions and low distortion. It supports 1.8 V control voltage and an extended operating temperature range up to +105° C.
Richardson RFPD Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for a new UltraCMOS® quad MOSFET mixer from Peregrine Semiconductor Corporation. The PE4152 is a high-linearity quad MOSFET mixer with an integrated local oscillator (LO) buffer amplifier. The LO amplifier allows for LO input drive levels of less than 0 dBm to produce third-order intercept point (IIP3) values similar to a quad MOSFET array driven with a +15 dBm LO drive.
Richardson RFPD Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for a 100 W continuous wave SPDT reflective switch from Microsemi Corporation. The MPS2R10-606 SPDT series-shunt PIN diode switch operates from 50 to 1000 MHz, with 500 ns switching speed. At 100 MHz, it typically offers 60 dB isolation, with 0.1 dB insertion loss and 28 dB return loss. At 500 MHz, it typically offers 55 dB isolation, 0.2 dB insertion loss, and 15 dB return loss.
Richardson RFPD Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for a new gallium arsenide flip-chip hyperabrupt varactor diode from M/A-COM Technology Solutions. The high-frequency MAVR-011020-1411 offers 0.025 pF total capacitance at 1 MHz/15V, a Q factor of 3000, and constant gamma for linear tuning. The device is suitable for point-to-point, electronic scanning antenna arrays, electronic warfare (EW), and other Aerospace & Defense applications.
Richardson RFPD Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for a new power amplifier from M/A-COM Technology Solutions. The MAAP-011199 is a balanced 3-stage gallium arsenide (GaAs) pHEMT MMIC power amplifier that operates from 80 to 100 GHz and typically provides +24 dBm of saturated output power. The power amplifier’s balanced architecture results in excellent input and output match to 50Ω across the entire 80 to 100 GHz frequency band.
Richardson RFPD Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for two X-band GaN power amplifiers from Qorvo. The TGA2622-SM and TGA2624-SM operate from 9 to 10 GHz and are offered in 7 mm x 7 mm air-cavity, laminate-based QFN packages. For both devices, the RF ports are internally DC blocked and matched to 50 ohms, enabling simple system integration.
Richardson RFPD Inc. announced the availability of a selection of Anaren devices for RF energy applications. RF energy refers to the emerging technology that uses an all solid-state semiconductor chain to generate RF power for heating and processing. Magnetron tubes are the primary technology employed for these applications. The benefits of solid-state RF energy over magnetron tubes include a lower-voltage drive, smaller form factor, and greatly-enhanced reliability.
Richardson RFPD Inc. announced its participation in the 2016 IEEE International Microwave Symposium (IMS), to be held in San Francisco, Calif., May 24-26, 2016. The IMS2016 is the largest RF/microwave commercial exhibition in the world, with more than 600 exhibiting companies. It is held in conjunction with the IEEE RFIC and ARFTG conferences.
Richardson RFPD has collaborated with Analog Devices (ADI) and New Edge Signal Solutions to develop digital front-end (DFE) radio solutions, including new wideband (6 to 24 GHz) SiGe up/down converters (ADRF6780, ADRF6880) and transceivers. The ADRF6780 and ADRF6880 enable simpler system architecture, especially for customers seeking to cover multiple bands from 6 to 24 GHz, by replacing narrow-band devices, using fewer components, offering higher system reliability, and using less board space.
Richardson RFPD Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for a selection of SDI video and optoelectronics products from M/A-COM Technology Solutions. MACOM’s SDI video products span a complete signal chain for an SDI link, including multi-rate equalizer and cable driver solutions for emerging ultra-high-definition (UHD) TV standards and legacy 3G, HD and SD.
