RF Micro Devices (
News -
Alert), a designer and manufacturer of high-performance radio frequency
systems and solutions, has announced the introduction of five single junction circulators for wireless infrastructure applications.
The new circulator product family includes the PC0882AG-21H, PC0940AG-21H, PC1843AG-21H, PC1960AG-21H and PC2140AG-21H.
Company officials stated that each new circulator delivers “excellent electrical performance and rugged construction” required by the demanding operational requirements of the “high power, linear amplifier and transceiver sections of cellular base stations, repeaters and other forms of transmission equipment.”
Manufactured with samarium cobalt (SmCo), the single junction circulators provide “immediate improvements in reliability and performance versus existing generations of circulators,” according to officials.
Officials explained that the PCxxxAG-21H line of single junction circulators is specifically designed to cover the five major cellular frequency bands from 869MHz to 2170MHz, while exhibiting intermodulation distortion (IMD) performance, low insertion loss and high isolation.
All of the drop-in single junction circulators are offered in industry standard 1"x1" packages, in addition all are lead-free and RoHS compliant.
Robert Pinato, general manager of standard product business unit at RFMD (
News -
Alert), said in a statement, “This new family of magnetic products adds market breadth to RFMD's growing portfolio of high performance RF components targeted at OEM base station
and communications applications.”
He also said that building off this standard platform of magnetic products, “we also offer custom designs targeted at application specific requirements.”
This month, the company also announced the expansion of its RF product portfolio to include microwave and millimeter wave components. The introduced products include arsenide (GaAs) pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor (pHEMT) gain blocks and low noise amplifiers (LNAs) targeting the base station, satellite communications and short-haul telecommunications segments of the wireless infrastructure market.
Each PCxxxAG-21H line single junction circulator is priced at $10.58 each, in quantities of 1,000 units. The company has made sample available.
Also, based upon existing customer design activity, company anticipates high volume shipments will commence in the second quarter of this year.
