LNA offers 15-dB typ gain over up to 170 GHz
For the emerging number of millimeter-wave applications above 100 GHz, the model ITI-110-170-15-6 low-noise amplifier (LNA) from Impulse Technologies offers 15-dB typical gain over the wide frequency range of 110 to 170 GHz. It features a typical noise figure of 6 dB over that high-frequency range. The broadband LNA is equipped with UG-387 as the […]
WL-CSP 25-W RF switch replaces mechanical relays
Menlo Microsystems, Inc. announced the production release of the MM5130, the first high-performance RF switch manufactured with their proprietary Ideal Switch technology. The MM5130 is designed to handle 25W with ultra-low losses, in a miniaturized wafer-level chip-scale-package (WL-CSP). Historically, this level of performance has been reserved for large RF mechanical relays, which have major drawbacks. […]
