Zero-biased waveguide detectors operate from Ka- to W-band
Delivering zero-biased performance in Ka, Q, U, V, E and W frequency bands, Fairview Microwave has introduced a family of waveguide detectors. These waveguide detectors are commonly used in aerospace, defence and commercial wireless applications used in instrumentation, power detection, power monitoring, direct detection receivers, high frequency communications, radar, SATCOM, point-to-point radio, telecomms, data links and R&D.
Digital isolators offer signalling rate up to 100Mbps
The ISO7820 and ISO7820F dual-channel digital isolators from Texas Instruments are now being shipped by distributor Mouser Electronics. Engineered as high-performance, dual-channel digital isolators with 8,000 VPK of isolation voltage and a signaling rate of up to 100 Mbps, the isolators feature high electromagnetic immunity with low emissions at lower power-consumption levels, while isolating CMOS or LVCMOS digital I/Os.
RF telemetry module features 16km range
Expanding its' SMART Radio range, RF Solutions has announced an RF telemetry module which brings unprecedented performance from a small plug in RF module. The SMART module has an incredible 16km range, simple setup and ability to operate as a remote control, data modem or a bi-directional switch.
RF switches feature constant impedance technology
IDT has announced two RF switches that offer low loss and high isolation, with a new-to-the-industry constant impedance technology, called Kz. The F2914 and F2915 are 50Ω, SP4T and SP5T RF switches that exhibit insertion loss of only 1.1dB with corresponding IIP2 of 124dBm and IIP3 of 61dBm at 4GHz.
Programmable clock generators offer 500fs RMS phase jitter
Integrated Device Technology has introduced the VersaClock 6 programmable clock generator family to deliver flexible, low-power timing for demanding high-performance applications. With RMS phase jitter of less than 500fs, the VersaClock 6 products deliver the best performance to date for IDT’s VersaClock family, offering an exceptional combination of jitter performance, flexibility, and low operating power.

Microwave cable assemblies target 40GHz applications
Featuring a robust mechanical construction designed for dynamic applications, the SUCOFLEX 200 series of microwave cable assemblies has been introduced by HUBER+SUHNER. The series has been developed specifically for high performance applications where industry leading insertion loss figures, high phase stability versus temperature and bending, excellent return loss and mechanical stability are key requirements.
RFID reader IC enables rugged handheld scanner
ams has announced that the 1153, a rugged, wearable RFID scanner made by Technology Solutions Limited, uses the highly-integrated, low-power AS3993 reader IC. The small, light 1153 Bluetooth Wearable RAIN (UHF) RFID Reader, which measures 10.2x5.5x5.6cm and weighs just 157g, has a palm strap so it can easily be worn on the back of the user’s hand, as well as an anchor point for attachment to a tablet computer.
Cost-effective LNAs & gain blocks cover 9KHz to 3GHz
Pasternack has announces the release of affordable coaxial-packaged RF amplifiers. Both low noise and gain block amplifiers are offered and display excellent performance covering wide octave frequency bands from 9KHz to 3GHz. All of these amplifiers provide an outstanding value and are all priced less than $500.00 for a single unit.
Ceramic resonators offer mechanical load capacity advantage
Schukat has extended its range of Frequency Control Products (FCPs), introducing five radial wired ceramic resonators from Red Frequency's IR ZTTMG and IR ZTTMT ranges. Ceramic resonators possess clear advantages in terms of size, mechanical load capacity and price, thus making up for the better frequency stability and accuracy of a classical quartz oscillator.
