Hand Soldering of MNA-Family Amplifiers
This articles presents hand soldering techniques appropriate for Mini-Circuits' MNA-Family amplifiers. Mini-Circuits MNA amplifiers are manufactured in a 3 x 3 mm (.118 x .118-inch) plastic molded package, case style DQ849.
PMA-545G1+: LTE Performance vs. Output Power
Mini-Circuits PMA-545G1+ high dynamic range and super low noise MMIC amplifier is designed specifically for applications which require high linear performance, advanced digital communications systems such as LTE which require excellent ACLR suppression and low EVM.
High-Power Amplifiers in Multi-Tone Environments
A multi-tone signal can be characterized by the average and the peak power. The average power is defined as a sum of the power value of each of the tones.
Frequently Asked Questions About Fixed Attenuators/ Terminators

Digital Step Attenuators offer Precision and Linearity
Mini-Circuits new series of digital step attenuators (DAT family) manufactured using Super RF CMOS technology, has an unprecedented combination of accuracy, linearity, programmability, ESD tolerance, and wide bandwidth in a small 4x4x0.9 mm surface mount package.
GVA-84+: LTE Performance vs Output Power
Mini-Circuits GVA-84+ high dynamic range MMIC amplifier is designed specifically for applications which require high linear performance, particularly wideband, advanced digital communications systems such as LTE which require excellent ACLR suppression and low EVM.
CBL Series Ruggedized Test Cable – Super Flex Testing
Mini-Circuits CBL series test cables are specifically designed and manufactured for use in stringent test lab environments where cables are often bent and twisted many times during normal use.
Super Wide-bandwidth Power Splitter
Microwave splitters are generally octave bandwidth or lower. In lab and instrumentation applications, this poses a problem, as one has to buy a series of splitters to cover a bandwidth. Mini-Circuits has designed a 2-way and 4-way splitter covering 10:1 band width, 500-5000 MHz.
Wide Modulation Bandwidth Measurements
Frequency of a voltage controlled oscillator is proportional to the amplitude of the tuning voltage. Hence, it can be treated as an FM modulator. Every VCO has a tuning voltage range specified.
