Amplifier boosts signals from 2 GHz to 18 GHz
The AM1111 amplifier from Atlanta Micro provides 16 dB of gain from 2 GHz to 18 GHz. You can cascade multiple amplifiers to boost signals as needed. Powered by +5 V and packaged in 3 mm QFN package, the AM1111’s input and output provide a 50-Ω DC-blocked impedance.It consumes 500 mW and has a 2.5…
Wi-Fi 6 RF front ends combine functions
The low-power QFP4526 and high-power QFP4568 bring switches, filters, and amplifiers to Wi-Fi 8 (802.11ax) designs. Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11ax) access points, routers, gateways, customer-premise devices, and IoT devices need amplifiers to boost signal power to its final levels. The QFP4526 and QFP4568 front-end modules from Qorvo operate at 3.7 V and 5 V power…
VGA series covers 500 MHz to 40 GHz
Pasternack’s PE15S70xx variable-gain RF amplifiers bring output power up to 48 dB, depending on model.
Timing IC combines functions for Open RAN
Microchip’s ZL30735 integrates eight DPLLs, five low-output jitter synthesizers, and an IEEE 1588-2008 protocol stack. The splitting of radio access network functions creates an Open RAN that promises greater innovation and features in 5G networks. Splitting the traditional baseband unit into radio units (RU), distribution units (DU) and centralized units (CU) brings timing issues not…
