Coaxial K-Band Medium Power Amplifier
Mini-Circuits’ ZX60-16213+ is an SMA-connectorized medium power amplifier with a unique combination of medium output power, and high output IP3 for K-Band applications from 16 to 21 GHz.
Core & Wire Essentials
Many suppliers are rationalizing their core and wire component portfolios to focus on newer technologies, leaving customers looking for a stable supply to support their needs. Mini-Circuits has one of the industry’s widest selections of these essential RF parts, designed and built in-house utilizing our 56 years of experience under tight process control for high quality and repeatability.
High-Performance LTCC Filter Markets & Trends on Microwave Journal Frequency Matters
Aaron Vaisman, Mini-Circuits' Director of Product Line Engineering and Randy Cochran, Product Marketing Manager for MMIC and LTCC products recently joined our friend, Pat Hindle on Microwave Journal's Frequency Matters video series. Their conversation explores how Mini-Circuits is innovating LTCC technology to meet new requirements in aerospace & defense, satellite communications, automotive applications and more.
MMIC IQ Mixer for 10 to 30 GHz LO/RF
Mini-Circuits’ SMIQ-134H+ is a wideband, low conversion loss MMIC IQ mixer, perfect for use in sensitive Rx and Tx applications. The RF and LO ports operate from 10 to 30 GHz, and the IF from DC to 7 GHz, making this model suitable for applications in 5G FR2, SATCOM, EW, and Test & Measurement
Wideband Amplifiers – Variable and Temperature-Compensated Gain
Many types of RF systems and applications that span from the upper end of microwave frequencies to the lower end of mmWave have arisen in recent years. Meeting system requirements over such a wide bandwidth and high frequency range, or even a ...
Phase-Matched Cable Assemblies
Phase-matched cable assemblies are ubiquitous, and growing in popularity. Electrical length matching requirements continue to tighten and the mechanical precision of cable construction improves to keep pace. This article explains why phase-matching is so prevalent, and why it matters so much. We also describe Mini-Circuits’ capabilities in the phase-matching cable arena as well as our TF40 and TF50 precision test cables.
3 New Wideband MMIC LNAs Cover 5.5 to 20 GHz
Mini-Circuits’ expanded PMA3-series of wideband, ultra-low NF MMIC amplifiers operates in ranges between 5.5 and 20 GHz.
A Dual Band Channel Sounder Module for FR1 & FR3 Band Modelling (6.75 GHz & 16.95 GHz)
Desire for the data capacity and speed of millimeter-wave and sub-THz transmissions with broad network coverage and low power requirements of lower frequencies has spurred strong interest in the FR3 bands (7 to 24 GHz) as a possible “Goldilocks zone” for the next phases of 5G and 6G development. See how Mini-Circuits partnered with Professor Ted Rappaport and his team from NYU Wireless in Brooklyn to develop channel sounder modules for the most comprehensive penetration loss models for FR3-Band signals developted to date.
Intro to RF Power Measurements
Power Measurement Overview
Power is a necessary parameter to measure across a wide range of modern applications. Power is defined as work per unit of time. It includes units of measure such as horsepower, watts, calories per second and BTU ...
Reflectionless Bandpass Filters: Connectorized & Broadband
The ZXBF filter series incorporates Mini-Circuits’ patented reflectionless filter technology to terminate stopband signals up to 40 GHz internally rather than reflecting them back up the signal chain.
Wideband Peak & Average Power Sensor with 80 Msps Sample Rate
Mini-Circuits’ PWR-18PWHS-RC power sensor operates from 0.05 to 18 GHz at a sample rate of 80 Msps and with an industry-leading minimum measurement range of -40 dBm in peak mode and -60 dBm in average mode.
90 GHz Coax. Adapters for Your High-Frequency Connections
Mini-Circuits’ expanded line of coaxial adapters now includes the 10x-135x series of 1.0 mm to 1.35 mm models with all combinations of connector genders. Ultra-wideband performance up to 90 GHz allows integration with a variety of systems, while low insertion loss and exceptional VSWR minimize impact on signal transmission.
