Transceiver enables more reliable wireless radio connections
Featuring a highly sensitive receiver and superior immunity to signal interferences, a low power, high performance, radio transceiver has been announced by Analog Devices. The ADF7030-1 enables more reliable wireless radio connections with fewer retries and packet losses, as well as longer battery lifetime, and features low power modes, including the industry’s lowest current in sleep mode.
Industry's lowest-power, low-jitter retimers for 4K UHD
Enabling an extended signal range over long traces, connectors and cables without degradation of signal integrity, three high-performance retimers have been announced by Texas Instruments. Expanding the company's high-performance retimer portfolio, the retimers support flexible, cost-optimised system design, speeding time-to-market while maintaining optimal performance.
Linear power amplifiers target point to point radios
Designed for use in point to point radios in cellular backhaul applications, the MAAP-011161 and MAAP-011193 packaged linear power amplifiers have been announced by MACOM Technology Solutions. The MAAP-011161 and MAAP-011193 operate over 7.1-7.9GHz and 7.7-8.5GHz, respectively, and are intended for 7 and 8GHz radio applications.
What’s new in RF generation from TRUMPF?
Reproducible plasma processes are the key to consistent results in applications such as the manufacture of semiconductor elements, microchips, solar cells and flat screens. Thanks to their stable power output and high level of control precision, TRUMPF RF generators offer the best conditions to achieve this consistency and now they have been further optimised for even better performance.
3-stage GaAs amplifier operates from 80 to 100GHz
A new power amplifier from M/A-COM Technology Solutions is available at Richardson RFPD. The MAAP-011199 is a balanced 3-stage gallium arsenide (GaAs) pHEMT MMIC power amplifier that operates from 80 to 100GHz and typically provides +24dBm of saturated output power. The power amplifier’s balanced architecture results in excellent input and output match to 50Ω across the entire 80–100GHz frequency band, and the multi-stage design...
