RF switches handle 20 GHz with low insertion loss
Menlo Micro announced that it is sampling their MM51xx series of products. These new products, which operate at high power with ultra-low RF losses, and in a miniaturized surface-mount package, bring significant performance improvements as compared to electromechanical and solid-state RF switches. The MM5130 SP4T switch is designed to handle power levels up to 25W […]
Coaxial RF probes good to 40 GHz
Fairview Microwave Inc., a leading provider of on-demand RF and microwave components, has recently expanded their line of RF coaxial probes into the 40 GHz frequency range for use in high-speed communications, microwave components and networking applications. Fairview Microwave’s expanded line of coaxial RF probes now includes four models that deliver 10 dB maximum return loss over a […]
MEMS OCXO enables 5G equipment to be deployed anywhere, in any environment
SiTime Corporation announced the Emerald Platform, a revolutionary precision timing solution that solves critical timing challenges for 5G infrastructure equipment. With the Emerald Platform, operators can deploy 5G equipment in harsh environments and reliably offer mission-critical services. “Timing is potentially the single biggest point of failure in 5G systems and can impact performance, reliability, and revenue. […]
GPS, Part 1: Basic principles
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a worldwide, RF wireless-based system for determining where you are anywhere in the Earth’s surface if there is line-of-sight visibility to at least four of its orbiting satellites. The availability of GPS since its inception a few decades ago has not only enabled products and features which were simply […]
World’s smallest ceramic NB-IoT antenna covers three global bands
The first two antennas in the Extensis range of narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) antennas include the world’s smallest ceramic NB-IoT antenna that covers Bands 5, 8 and 20 simultaneously with a single matching configuration. The antennas are specifically designed for NB-IoT solutions. The low-profile, highly efficient NCP.5820 is a NB-IoT ceramic surface mount multiband antenna that […]
Filters suppress noise from 600 MHz to 2.7 GHz on audio lines
TDK Corporation has expanded the MAF1005G series of noise suppression filters for audio lines with four new MAF1005GAD-D types, which, thanks to their low DC resistance, feature a high rated current of up to 1.25 A. The new types employ TDK’s proprietary low-distortion ferrite that enables the new components to suppress noise at cellular frequencies from […]
One chip, multiple LTE signals for 3G, 4G, and 5G macro cell TDD base station work
Matt Purvis from ADI recently took us through a demo of a super-wideband RF transceiver chip that targets the expanding 5G telecom area. The point of the chip is to transmit multi-carrier LTE signals and to simplify the task of designing MIMO systems. Called the ADRV9009, it is a single-chip time division duplex (TDD) design […]
