Hittite Microwave Corporation has introduced two new SMT packaged MMIC 5-Bit Digital Attenuators which are ideal for automotive, microwave radio, test equipment, military and space applications up to 33 GHz.

Hittite Microwave Corporation, announces the release of two new SMT packaged GaAs MMIC variable gain amplifiers (VGAs) which are ideal for VSAT, microwave radio, military, and test & measurement equipment applications from 5 to 27 GHz.

As a result of their extremely low price, the very large and often cumbersome SMD quartz crystals in the HC-49/US-SMD metal housing series are frequently used in low-cost applications. Up until now, there was nothing from 10 MHz upwards with the capacity to replace the very low-priced, but very large SMD quartz crystals. Thus, there was nothing able to close the price gap between the crystals housed in metal and those housed in ceramic.

Freescale Semiconductor has introduced an RF power LDMOS transistor that combines the industry's highest output power and efficiency with the greatest ruggedness of any competitive device in its class designed for UHF broadcast television applications.

Crystek’s new CVCO55CXT-5800-5800 Coaxial Resonator Oscillator is a coaxial-based VCO with an internal proprietary frequency doubler. The CVCO55CXT family’s frequency doubling, 2X fundamental technology reaches new performance levels of lower phase noise and much lower harmonics over the competition, while achieving lower current consumption in the process.

Designed for virtually any industry sector using RF technology, these high power chip attenuators feature a power handling capability up to 150W, which makes them ideal for signal sampling applications in circulators and isolators for example.
