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...
Dual RF transceiver has tuning range of 300MHz to 6GHz
