Wideband passives in miniature chip packages

24 November 2021 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

Macom Technology Solutions has added three new models to its portfolio of miniature wideband passive ICs.

The MABA-011125, a 1:2 impedance-ratio balun for 2-20 GHz operation, features 2 dB insertion loss and excellent amplitude and phase balance (typically 0 dB and 0°). Housed in a 3 mm, 16-pin PQFN capable of handling up to 3 W of RF power, it is ideal for data converter circuits and balanced amplifiers.

Second, the MAPD-011062 is a 2-way power combiner/divider targets signal distribution circuits with its 2-20 GHz frequency support, 1 dB insertion loss, optimal low-frequency isolation and 3 W of RF power-handling in a similar 3 mm, 16-pin PQFN.

Third, designed for test point applications, the MACP-011088 is a 17 dB bidirectional coupler operating across 2-18 GHz with 0,8 dB insertion loss. Well matched – typically 18 dB on all ports – and capable of handling up to 3 W of RF power, it is supplied in a 4 mm, 24-pin PQFN.
