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. […]
Analog multiplexers capable of switching signal voltages up to 36 V
Diodes Incorporated announced the introduction of the PS508 and PS509 analog multiplexers that are capable of switching signal voltages of up to 36V in an industrial environment. The high voltage capability of the devices will support industrial IoT (IIoT) applications using multiple sensors, including factory automation and process control, battery monitoring systems, and test and […]
Coax adapters cover 1.7 GHz to 26.5 GHz
Fairview Microwave Inc. has introduced a new series of waveguide to coax adapters that are ideal for use in 5G, telecommunications, satellite communications, point-to-point radio, automotive radar, and terrestrial communications applications. Fairview’s new line of waveguide to coax adapters consists of 50 models with aluminum construction for reduced weight and compatibility with existing aluminum systems. They support […]
PHY transceivers expand Ethernet connectivity options
Texas Instruments today introduced two new Ethernet physical layer (PHY) transceivers, expanding connectivity options for designers of both space-constrained applications and time-sensitive networks (TSNs). The DP83825I low-power 10-/100-Mbps Ethernet PHY has a 44 percent smaller package size than competing devices and provides a 150-meter cable reach. The DP83869HM is the industry’s only gigabit Ethernet PHY […]
