High performance RF power amplifiers for jamming systems
A line of portable RF power amplifiers supported by a dedicated team of amplifier specialists has been introduced by ETL Systems. ETL’s range of RF power amplifiers offer high efficiency, broad frequency coverage and a compact form factor in a variety of power levels.
Right-angle waveguide to coax adapters operate up to 65GHz
A supplier of on-demand microwave and RF components, Fairview Microwave, has released a line of 1.85, 2.4 and 2.92mm waveguide to coax adapters with operating ranges up to 65GHz. These waveguide adapters are ideal for numerous applications requiring a transition from coax to waveguide or vice versa, including SATCOM, wireless communications, industrial, test and measurement and defense systems.
RF module designed to support ZigBee
Skyworks has launched the SKY66112-11, its new 2.4GHz fully-integrated RF front-end module (FEM) designed to support ZigBee, Thread and next-generation Bluetooth 5 wireless protocols.
700 Series joins remote control product range
The 700 Series has joined the RF Solutions remote control product range. Each Din Rail mounting 725 module has two switch inputs and two changeover contacts outputs, Additional input and output DIN Rail modules can be added. Employing LoRa (Long Range) Spread Spectrum RF technology, the 725-TRX8-16K can achieve an impressive range of up to 16km, with a 1km version also available for shorter range applications.
Waveguide bends support frequencies up to 90GHz
A line of waveguide bends operating from 5.85-90GHz across 12 frequency bands (from C band to W band) has been launched by Fairview Microwave. These waveguide bends are frequently used in applications such as high efficiency RF, test benches, instrumentation, microwave and mm-wave transmissions, MILCOM, SATCOM, radar and telecom.
Surface mountable radar modules for touch-free switches
Infineon Technologies and InnoSenT released a surface mountable radar (SMR) motion detector operating in the 24 GHz ISM band. The SMR series from InnoSenT with the latest 24 GHz transceiver MMIC BGT24LTR11 from Infineon inside offer a unique combination of high functionality, low power consumption and easy-to-install solution.
Waveguide twists operate across seven frequency bands
A family of precision waveguide twists operating across seven frequency bands from 18-110GHz has been unveiled by Fairview Microwave. These twists are specifically designed to prevent unwanted distortion in the signal’s transmission and are useful for systems requiring a turn in the polarisation and waveform.
Like Goldilocks, op amps need things to be just right
Daniel Burton of Analog Devices (ADI) offers some advice when selecting an op amp for a precision signal path, and asks, is faster always better?
Failsafe SPDT switch suitable for cellular infrastructure
The first member of Guerrilla RF's growing list of failsafe switch and amplifier devices has been introduced - the GRF6011. Failsafe refers to the characteristic whereby one switch path defaults to a low loss state, when all power is removed.
Crystal oscillators cover 30kHz to 70 MHz frequency range
New 8-pin dual-in-line (DIL) models have been added to the Euroquartz range of military specification crystal oscillators designed for use in applications that require high reliability. The new 8-pin DIL EQXO-2000BM series clock oscillators complement the 14-pin DIL models – EQXO-1000BMK and EQXO-3000BMK –launched earlier this year and incorporate a custom-designed quartz crystal and a CMOS/TTL compatible hybrid circuit on a ceramic s...
