RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for the RFFM6903, a 1W transmit power Front End Module (FEM) for applications in the frequency range of 868 to 960MHz. RFMD developed the RFFM6903 to aggressively reduce the size of front end designs and reduce component count in portable equipment. Reduced component count and size equate to reduced assembly cost and overall solution cost. The RFMD RFFM6903 integrates a 1 watt power amplifier, SP3T antenna switch, harmonic filters, an LNA with bypass and multiple matching components. All of this is packaged in a 6x6mm form factor. RFMD’s RFFM6903 operates on supply voltages…
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for a pair of GaN amplifiers targeted at weather and marine radar applications. The TriQuint TGA2624 covers 9 to 10GHz while the TGA2625 stretches from 10 to 11GHz. Both TriQuint amplifiers operate from a 28V bias drawing 365mA of current and both the TGA2624 and TGA2625 are offered in DIE formats. The TGA2624 (9-10GHz) supports a saturated output power of 42.5dBm with small signal gain of >35dB. Power added efficiency (PAE) is 40%. TriQuint’s TGA2625 (10-11GHz) is specified at 43dBm Psat with 37dB of gain. Additional information for these devices is available on…

RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for Peregrine Semiconductor’s PE45450, adjustable power limiter providing protection for up to 50W pulsed RF input from 9kHz to 6GHz. This broadband limiter can handle up to 10W of power in CW applications. The adjustable power limiting threshold, from +25 to +35dBm, enables flexibility across different platforms and architectures. Peregrine’s UltraCMOS, monolithic solution is 8X smaller than comparable GaAs PIN diode solutions and no external components are required. The PE45450 offers fast response and recovery time of 1nS making it ideal for receiver protection in military ECM applications, radar, wireless infrastructure and test…
Anritsu Company has expanded RFMW’s distribution territory for coaxial connectors and coaxial components. Along with the United States, which RFMW has supported since 2008, the specialty electronics distribution company will now also market and sell Anritsu connectors and components in Canada, Mexico, as well as Central and South America. Anritsu is a leader in the design and production of precision microwave components, and holds numerous connector design patents. The company revolutionized the market with the development of the V (1.85mm) and K (2.92mm) connectors and continues to introduce innovative products. In addition, Anritsu manufactures assemblies and components to meet specific…
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for a pair of GaN low noise amplifiers targeted at military and commercial radar applications as well as SatCom, point-to-point radio and WiMax applications. The TriQuint TGA2611-SM covers 2 to 6GHz while the TGA2612-SM stretches from 6 to 12GHz. Both LNAs operate from a 10V bias drawing 100mA of current and both the TGA2611-SM and TGA2612-SM come in 4x4mm, plastic overmold QFN packages. The TGA2611-SM (2-6GHz) offers 1dB noise figure with small signal gain of >22dB. Third order intercept (OTOI) is 30dBm. TriQuint’s TGA2612-SM (6-12GHz) is specified at 2dB noise figure with 22dB…
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for a pair of 100W VPIN limiters from TriQuint. The TGL2206-SM and TGL2207-SM are available in QFN 5x5mm surface mount packages for ease of installation in receive protection chains for commercial and military radar systems. The TGL2206-SM covers applications falling from 2 to 5.5GHz while the TGL2207-SM extends the range from 2 to 6.5GHz. Both limiters offer <1dB insertion loss and neither the TGL2206-SM nor TGL2207-SM require DC bias. Input/output return loss measures 15dB.
RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for Peregrine Semiconductor’s 2-bit, fast-switching digital step attenuator (DSA). The PE43205 offers 29nS switching time when transitioning between 6, 12 or 18dB of attenuation. Simple, coarse attenuation is a great benefit for robust receiver gain control designs. Specified from 35MHz to 6GHz, the PE43205 offers IIP3 of 61dBm for highly linear, wide dynamic range circuits. In addition, the Peregrine PE43205 offers an extended temperature range of +105 degrees C to support passive/convection cooling in wireless infrastructure, small cell and land mobile radio applications. The Peregrine PE43205 is packaged as a 3x3mm QFN.
