Richardson RFPD Inc. introduced the MMRF5014H, a 125 W continuous wave GaN on SiC transistor that offers exceptional wideband and thermal performance. With an extended operational bandwidth (1 to 2690 MHz), high gain (16 dB at 2500 MHz, typical), and high ruggedness, the new transistor is ideally suited for wideband amplifiers in scientific equipment, as well as in military communications applications, including jammers and electronic warfare systems.
Richardson RFPD Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for a new UltraCMOS true DC RF switch from Peregrine Semiconductor Corporation. The PE42020 is a HaRP™ technology-enhanced SPDT true DC RF switch that operates from DC up to 8 GHz with integrated RF, analog and digital functions. It can be configured as a 50-ohm absorptive or open reflective switch and offers power handling of +30 dBm at 0 Hz and +36 dBm at 8 GHz.
Richardson RFPD Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for a low noise active mixer from M/A-COM Technology Solutions. The MAMX-011023 is used for down frequency conversion, features an ultra-wideband IF bandwidth of 8 GHz, and has the LO and RF driving the same pin. The mixer can be used for lower sideband (LSB) or upper sideband (USB) mixing.
Richardson RFPD Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for five new power amplifiers for small cell applications from Skyworks Solutions, Inc. The five surface mount, +20 dBm linear output power amplifiers offer high gain, low power current consumption, low bill-of-materials count, ease of use, and a small footprint with input and output parts internally matched.
Richardson RFPD Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for two new tuning control switches from Peregrine Semiconductor Corporation. The PE613010 and PE613050 are the first two devices in a new family of tuning control switches based on Peregrine’s UltraCMOS® technology. Both of the new switches feature low on-resistance and insertion loss across key cellular frequency bands from 100 to 3000 MHz.
Richardson RFPD Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for a new integrated bias network from M/A-COM Technology Solutions. The MABT-011000 is a rugged, fully monolithic, broadband, surface mount bias network that utilizes MACOM’s patented HMIC process. It is ideally suited for the DC biasing of PIN diode control circuits and functions as an RF-DC decoupling network.
Richardson RFPD Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for a new up-converter from M/A-COM Technology Solutions. The MAUC-011003 is an integrated up-converter assembled in a lead-free 4 mm 24-lead PQFN plastic package. It features a typical conversion gain of 12 dB, image rejection of 15 dBc, and is integrated with an LO doubler, LO buffer amplifier, and RF buffer amplifier.
Richardson RFPD Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for two new L-band 90 W GaN modules from M/A-COM Technology Solutions. Both MAMG-000912-090PSM and MAMG-001214-090PSM 2-stage modules feature a land grid array (LGA) pattern for enhanced thermal flow, are offered in compact (14 x 24 mm2) “True SMT” packages, and do not require copper coining or complicated thermal management techniques on the system PC board.
