Wideband, Fast Switching, High Power SPDT to Replace PIN
Finwave’s new range of high-power SPDT switches are built using GaN on Silicon technology and are ideal for replacing slow and narrowband PIN diodes. The high-power FW2003 features a wide 30 MHz – 6.0 GHz frequency range, zero external matching components, and a powerful 60 W pulsed power capability. This makes it an easy choice in high-power designs requiring wideband frequency coverage. Click here to learn more.
Surface Mount Antennas for 5G FR2 and FR1 bands
Heaviside surface mount antennas are designed for FR2 n257 (26.5–29.5 GHz) and FR1 n77 (3.3–4.2 GHz) bands. They support multi-polarization, enable beamforming, and feature a QFN-style footprint for tool-free installation with high tolerance for mounting misalignment. Heaviside antennas are designed for a range of applications, including mmWave 5G base-stations, FWA, Satellites, and Ground Stations. Click here to learn more.
SP4T SOI Switch from 10 MHz to 8 GHz
The PE42447 is a HaRP™ technology-enhanced SP4T RF switch that supports a frequency range from 10 MHz to 8 GHz. It delivers extremely low insertion loss and 85 dBm IIP3 linearity with 10W average/100W peak input power handling capability, making this device ideal for 5G massive multi-input, multi-output (mMIMO), test and measurement (T&M), and land mobile radio (LMR) applications. No blocking capacitors are required if DC voltage is not present on the RF ports. Click here to learn more.
Ultraflexible Littlebend Cable for High-Frequency Precision
HASCO’s Littlebend Cable sets the standard in high-frequency interconnects with a 0.2” min. bend radius, >90 dB shielding, and stability to 110 GHz. Ideal for 5G/6G, OTA testing, and dense RF packaging, it delivers exceptional phase (±4° @ 40 GHz) and amplitude (±0.05 dB @ 18 GHz) performance where precision is critical. Click here to learn more.
