Surface Mount Bias Tee 50Ω Wideband TCBT-14+ 10 MHz to 10 GHz The Big Deal • Extremely Wideband •Very high DC current up to 200mA • Very low insertion loss,<1dB • Well matched, VSWR1.1:1 CASE STYLE: GU1414 Product Overview TCBT-14+ is the world’s smallest footprint wideband Bias-Tee measuring 3.8 mm x 3.8 mm which utilizes a unique design to cover a frequency range of 10 MHz to 10 GHz without resonances that are typically observed over such broad bands. It is designed to handle 1W of RF power and 200 mA current and is suitable for automated pick and place operation. Key Features Feature Extremely wideband: 10 MHz to 10 GHz DC Current, 200 mA Low Insertion Loss: 0.2 dB typ. To 3 GHz 0.5 dB typ. to 5 GHz 1.0 dB typ. at 10 GHz Excellent matching: 1:1.1 over 0.1- 4 GHz 1.2:1 over entire band Advantages Broad bandwidth enables biasing of wideband MMIC amplifiers or other active circuits starting at extremely low frequencies through microwave bands. Able to support most Class-A MMIC amplifiers with a P1dB of up to 22 dBm need less than 200 mA. When used at the output of the amplifiers in a typical bias application; the low loss of the TCBT-14+ exhibits minimal impact on gain and over temperature improving reliability. Excellent VSWR of TCBT minimizes interaction effects and resulting gain ripple. Use of TCBT-14+ with Mini-Circuits MMIC amplifiers has shown performance improvements over traditional L-C networks over the entire band. Mini-Circuits ® ISO 9001 ISO 14001 AS 9100 CERTIFIED P.O.
