The Future of Instrumentation - High Frequency Electronics

Product Highlights
Connectors
Carlisle Interconnect Technologies announced its family
of Push-On connectors, SMP-L, that incorporates a
patent-pending locking mechanism called Secure-Lok.
The locking feature adds a strong retention force to the
standard Push-On connector which makes it ideal for rugged
military and commercial applications susceptible to
vibration. In addition, this simple locking mechanism
requires no additional tools to engage or disengage the
connector. Finally, the small form factor of the SMP-L connector
series reduces weight and size to accommodate
dense packaging of RF/Microwave systems.

Amplifiers
TriQuint Semiconductor released two new dual
matched low noise amplifiers that are ideally suited for
balanced high performance RF design configurations.
These integrated LNAs are highly linear and offer very
low noise figures, high output and include automatic
shut-down capability for use in Time Division Duplex
(TDD) and Frequency-Domain Duplex (FDD) applications.
They are excellent choices for use as first-stage
LNAs in base station receivers, tower-mounted amplifiers
and repeaters.

Resistor
Vishay Intertechnology announced a new surfacemount
Power Metal Strip® resistor in the 2010 case size
that combines a high 2 W power rating with extremely
low resistance values down to 0.001 Ω and stable resistance
tolerances to 0.5 %. The advanced construction of
the WSLP2010 resistor incorporates a solid metal nickelchrome
or manganese-copper alloy resistive element with
low TCR (< 20 PPM/°C). This results in a high-power
resistor with an operating temperature range of - 65 °C to
+ 170 °C while maintaining the superior electrical characteristics
of the Power Metal Strip construction.
