Adjustable Resistor Family
A family of low power, low TC re-adjustable resistors has been designed to meet customer needs for a low cost, single element device to compensate and calibrate precision analog circuits. They are ideal for wireless, military, aerospace and satellite applications.
TMBS Trench Schottky Rectifier
Model V30200C is the industry’s first 200V, 30A dual high-voltage TMBS® Trench Schottky rectifier. With an extremely low VF of 0.648V typical at 15A and +125ºC, and superior switching performance, it reduces power loss and improves efficiency.
Reverse Polarity Terminations
These reverse polarity SMA male terminations were designed for Wi-Fi, WiMAX, and other wireless networking applications utilizing the 802.11b standard. They are RoHS compliant and have a frequency range of DC to 6 GHz with power handling of 1W.
Precision Coaxial Connectors
The company’s lines of precision coaxial connectors for flexible and semi-rigid cables are also available as solder clamp attachments. Interfaces include 1.85, 2.4, 2.92, and 3.5mm, N, SMA, and TNC. Popular cable types are HP120, HP160, HP190, LL120, LL142, LL250, and LL335. Bulkhead types are also available.
Moderate Band Reject Filter
The 5N45-4265/H1600-0/0 has a dense microwave spectrum that protects the receivers from newly deployed high-power transmitters. In such scenarios, the band reject filter is often specified as a “quick fix.” Extending the lower passband down to DC, while implementing advanced filter design techniques, can extend the upper passband to more than three times of center frequency. This enables strong rejection of moderate bandwidths.
SMB Connectors
New 75 ohm SMB connectors are available in a wide range of configurations including plugs, right-angle plugs, and PCB jacks, and are suitable for use in applications with a frequency range up to 4 GHz. This series has broadband performance with low reflection and is ideally suited for circuit miniaturization.
DDR2, DDR3 BGA Probes
The industry’s first DDR2 and DDR3 ball-grid array (BGA) probes for oscilloscopes and logic analyzers provide direct access to the balls of the DRAM with low loading and minimal impact to signal integrity.
Type N to BNC Coaxial Adapter
Model NF-BM50+ is a coaxial adapter that mates a female Type N connector to a male BNC connector. It is well suited for use as a connector saver or to interconnect equipment with dissimilar connectors. Typical insertion loss is 0.06 dB from DC to 2 GHz .
Digital Controlled Phase Shifter
Model PS-360-DC-3 Option 618 is a 6 to 18 GHz, 0 to 360º, 8 bit digitally controlled phase shifter with a switching speed of less than 50 nS, rise and fall time of less than 20 nS, insertion loss of 10 dB typical, 12 dB maximum. VSWR is 2.0:1.
Wideband Passive Mixers
Four double balanced GaAs MESFET mixers for use in test and measurement systems, military radios, commercial sensors and transceiver infrastructure, including critical functions of fixed and mobile protocols such as WiMAX and VSAT applications, are now available.
New Family of RF Amplifiers
The A3 family of amplifiers features an internal impedance transformer with selectable output impedance values of 12.5, 25, 50, 100, 200 and 400 ohms. An external impedance transformer is also available for applications requiring an extended range from 8 to 2000 ohms.
Connectors for LMR Series Cable
A new family of connectors for LMR type cables includes male and female Type N, 7/16, SMA and TNC connectors in straight and right angle configurations which have clamp or crimp attachment methods. Frequency coverage is from DC to 18 GHz in standard 50 ohm impedance.

This new DC to 6 GHz multifunctional WiMAX custom matrix is compact and designed with instrumentation to the DUT ports that are synthesized to the customer’s RF configuration. With a total of two DUT ports, six instrument ports and six auxiliary ports, this RF head-end switch matrix contains combiners, switches, programmable attenuators and required components for RF modulation. The industry standard 19" rack mounted switch matrix occupies 2U of space.
Renaissance Electronics

This new High Directivity Dual Directional Coupler/Monitor, with its microprocessor based circuitry, provides precision RF connectivity to newly released automated base station monitoring equipment from Kentrox.The Dual Coupler/Intelligent Monitor operates across the full 800-2200MHz band and is intended for in-line insertion in the antenna paths in base stations. Due to its unique design and combination of very high directivity and coupling accuracy, it provides precise serial output data and RF system status reporting.
R & D Microwaves

This new SAW Filter for high performance cable modems and 2-way, set-top box (STB) applications, part number 856653, doubles fractional bandwidth to 100 MHz. The company believes this filter is a first-of-its-kind development for the market since previous application-specific filters at the same center frequency offered 50 MHz of bandwidth.

Product Digest
Presenting the latest in advanced surveillance technology – the Stickybot! These robotic geckos will be scampering up walls, staying in place for days while secretly shadowing the area and providing intelligence to the military. The Department of Defense’s advanced research projects program funded the development of the Stickybot, and undoubtedly used technology created by our industry.

Mobile phones are getting more features and functions all the time. The latest “world phones,” which let jet-setting executives carry just one handset wherever their business travels take them, are prime examples.
Creating one of these little marvels poses a real challenge. Designers and manufacturers have to deliver multi-band, multi-mode performance, including the latest 3G data and multimedia features, in a handset the size of a candy bar. Yet, with all these power-hungry features, the phone has to provide extended battery life, so users won’t have to look for an electric socket every few hours.
