Home New Products Microwave Journal Staff February 16, 2015 Components 50 W DC-DC Converter Crane Aerospace & Electronics introduced its Interpoint® MFX Series™ 50 W DC-DC converter. The newly designed MFX Series provides up to 50 W in a 0.92 cubic inch case with efficiency over 90%. The input voltage of 16 to 50 V can also withstand transients of 80 V for one second, has ±10% trimmable 3.3 and 5 V outputs and operates -55° to +125°C. Crane Aerospace & Electronics www.craneae.com PIN Diodes The Eclipse EGP7000 series of PIN diodes are processed with a high resistivity epi that have intrinsic layers ranging in thickness from 4 to 200 micron depending on performance specifications. These diodes are made with a grown junction P++ layer that yields abrupt junction structures that provide low punch through voltages and minimize autodoping. They are available as chips or in your choice of 19 packages. Eclipse Microwave www.eclipsemicrowave.com Wideband Power Dividers Model D-1050-2 is a two-way power divider spanning 10 to 50 GHz. The maximum insertion loss is less than 1.8 dB. Amplitude balance is 0.5 dB maximum and phase balance is 5 degrees maximum. The minimum isolation is 16 dB and VSWR is 1.70:1 maximum. Connectors are 2.4 mm female. Housing size is 1.15" × 1.06" × 0.5". Electromagnetic Technologies Industries Inc. www.etiworld.com PIN Diode Phase Invariant Attenuator QuarterBack Connector Series SV Microwave released their new QuarterBack® series of SMP/SMPM connectors. The line utilizes a quarter turn bayonet style coupling nut with a locking feature for standard SMP/SMPM interfaces. The QuarterBack® connectors are ideal for high vibration and test applications that require a large number of mating cycles. SV Microwave www.svmicrowave.com Amplifiers Solid-State Hybrid Power Amplifier Model 50HM1G6AB-47 is a compact, wideband, 50 W Class AB solid-state hybrid power amplifier module that instantaneously covers 1 to 6 GHz. It operates from a single DC voltage and provides 48 dB of typical gain with excellent gain flatness, noise figure and low intermodulation distortion for military and wireless applications. AR RF/Microwave Instrumentation www.arworld.us Low Noise GaN Amplifier Custom MMIC announced the release of the CMD218, a 5 to 9 GHz low noise amplifier (LNA) in die form, to its growing line of standard GaN products. The CMD218 offers a gain of 22 dB, output of 1 dB, compression point of +19.5 dBm and noise figure of less than 1.25 dB across 5 to 9 GHz. In addition, without an input limiter, the CMD218 can survive high incident power levels up to 5 W with no degradation in performance. Custom MMIC www.custommmic.com Sources 900 to 940 MHz VCO Crystek’s CVCO33CL-0900-0940 VCO operates from 900 to 940 MHz with a control voltage range of 0.2 to 2 V. This VCO features a typical phase noise of -104 dBc/Hz at 10 KHz offset and has excellent linearity. Output power is typically +3 dBm. Engineered and manufactured in the U.S., this new VCO is packaged in the industry standard 0.3" × 0.3" SMD package. Input voltage is 3 V, with a max. current consumption of 20 mA. Pulling and pushing are minimized to 8 MHz and 1 MHz/V, respectively. Crystek Corp. www.crystek.com Microwave Power Modules In many military applications,stringent requirements for size and weight must be met without sacrificing power performance. These high-efficiency, conduction-cooled microwave power modules (MPM) provide extremely dense packaging across 2 to 40
