Precision and performance in microwave components in Manchester

Of particular interest among the componentry on the Aspen stand is the range of high power chip terminations from Res-Net Microwave, a division of ETI (Electro Technik Industries). Manufactured in the US, the RPC250-250-4T50-5C offers excellent performance across the range from DC to 8GHz.

With a low VSWR figure of 1.2:1, the high power chip termination handles 100W, making it ideal for various applications in commercial and military frequency bands. The device is fully RoHS compliant and operates across the full -55°C to 150oC temperature range.

Ask Aspen about Res-Net’s complete line of microwave attenuators, terminations, diode detectors, and resistors for the RF and microwave industries.

Also on show will be a series of high performance oven controlled crystal oscillators (OCXOs) from KVG Quartz Crystal Technology. The O.60.802658-LF device, for example, is a 100.000MHz high performance device offering low phase noise (LPN), low G sensitivity (LGS) and tight frequency stability down to ±50ppb (-20°C to +70°C). The OCXOs feature low power consumption and fast warm up time.
Applications are envisaged in instrument reference devices, clock references for microwave signal sources, microwave and telecom systems, radar equipment as well as test and measurement instrumentation.

The part is contained in a small sized surface mount package (25.4 x 22mm with 13.2mm profile) and is supplied taped on reels, ideal for high volume automatic pick & place machine assembly. The devices are fully RoHS compliant, supporting lead-free reflow solder temperatures.
