Additions to quartz crystal range consume just 50μW
Schukat has further expanded its quartz crystal range, adding the IC11 range from Red Frequency in the popular 24, 26, 40 and 50MHz frequencies. By employing only selected raw materials, Red Frequency ensures high quality, very good electrical parameters and long-term, stable functionality within the specifications. At the same time, the IC11 series represents particularly good value for money.
SoC wireless transceivers target Sigfox network
Two system-on-chip (SoC) wireless transceivers from AXSEM are for use with the Sigfox low power cellular network. Aimed at providing global cellular network connectivity for low bandwidth Internet of Things (IoT) applications, the Sigfox network is being deployed across 60 countries in the next five years.
Compact, low-power OCXO suits aero/mil applications
IQD's latest Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillator (OCXO), the IQOV-71 series, is housed in 4-pad plastic package with a fibre glass base measuring only 9.7x7.5mm. Despite its size, the model offers very low frequency stabilities down to ±10ppb over an operating temperature range of -20 to +70°C or ±20ppb over -40 to +85°C making it a class leader for this type of high performance device.
Transceiver module targets telemetry applications
The Circuit Design STD-601 400MHz transceiver module for telemetry, remote control and industrial applications is now available at LPRS. The advanced design has many innovative features including four frequency ranges conforming to various ISM bands available in the single device without sacrificing the superior performance of Circuit Design’s conventional RF modules.
PA module delivers 10W microwave power at up to 18GHz
A solid-state power-amplifier (PA) module that has been designed to provide a microwave power output of 10W CW over the frequency range 6 to 18GHz, making it particularly suitable for use in EMC test rigs and broadband military jamming systems is available from Link Microtek. Utilising GaAs FET technology, the MTronPTI PA1068 module is a compact, high-performance Class A amplifier with a minimum small-signal gain of 40dB and a gain flatness of be...
Bi-directional RF amplifiers operate in L- & S-bands
Designed for sending and receiving radio signals, Pasternack has introduced a line of bi-directional amplifiers. They are designed for use in applications such as UAVs, unmanned ground vehicles, L and S band radar, military radio, commercial air traffic control, weather and earth observation, satellites and high gain driver power amplifiers.
Integrated modem maximises range for wireless designers
The RN2483 433/868MHz LoRa integrated module from Microchip is now available from distributor Mouser Electronics. The module is an integrated modem with a range of over 15km (suburban) and exceptionally low power consumption, giving a battery life in excess of ten years. The LoRa-integrated module enables wireless designers to maximise range and reduce power consumption without compromising either.
LVPECL clock oscillator offers -162dBc/Hz noise floor
Compact and powerful, the CCPD-575 ultra-low phase noise LVPECL oscillator, introduced by Crystek, provides a -162dBc/Hz noise floor. The CCPD-575 is claimed to have an industry leading phase noise for an LVPECL oscillator – at least 15dB lower phase noise than most LVPECL oscillators on the market today. Close-in phase noise is also excellent at -90dBc/Hz for the 100MHz variant.
Power amplifier meets cellular backhaul applications in 18GHz band
A new 2W power amplifier from M/A-COM Technology Solutions is now available from Richardson RFPD with full design support capabilities. The MAAP-011145 is assembled in a 7 mm surface mount, lead-free cavity package with a temperature compensated integrated power detector operating from 17.65 to 19.75GHz.
Crystals reduce the size of wearable & IoT technology
AEL Crystals plays a major role in reducing the size of the core technology for wearable and IoT devices, with its three latest products: the 1610 watch crystal; the 1210 crystal; and the 1612 oscillator.
