 Bandpass Filter
Part number 2926 is a bandpass filter with a minimum 3 dB bandwidth of 3 MHz and >60 dB at 50 and 70 MHz. Typical insertion loss is 5 dB. The filter is supplied in a surface mount package just 1.5 x 0.5 x 0.5" and can also be supplied connectorized.
 Bandpass Filter for Iridium
Part number 6C9-1621.25-X10.5T11 is a bandpass filter for the Iridium band. It was designed with a narrow bandwidth and high rejection to isolate Iridium frequencies from outside interference. The unit may be outfitted with any RF connector the customer prefers.
 Directional Coupler
The C10-0116 is a broadband (1 to 16 GHz) 10 dB directional coupler. This tri-plate stripline design exhibits excellent 1.17 VSWR, +/-0.5 dB typical coupling flatness, and 20 dB typical directivity.
 SMT Comparators
A new family of 20 Gbps clocked comparators offers a unique combination of low propagation delay for low input overdrive while minimizing propagation dispersion and power dissipation. They are ideal for digital receivers, clock and data signal restoration, pulse spectro-scopy, and more.
 Triplexer for Broadband
Model TR-A01 is a new triplexer that combines/separates DC to 2170 MHz, 2400 to 2500 MHz, and 5000 to 6000 MHz. It uses suspended substrate technology that provides the lowest insertion loss since the dielectric used is air. Insertion loss in the 5 to 6 GHz band is only 0.7 dB
 RF Parametric Test Solution
The 7000 Series Vector Analyzer Generator (VAG) is a single, fully integrated RF parametric test system for RF test of wireless components and subsystems. It combines both vector signal generation and vector signal analysis in a single box, providing an integrated approach to measurements for complex wireless standards, including LTE.
 New Chip Resistor
Featuring a working voltage rating of 3500 Vrms, the HVC3512 size chip is the latest addition to the HVC Series of chip resistors. The Series offers the highest working voltages per chip size in the resistor industry due to the fine-film patterning.
 RoHS Compliant VCO
Model MW500-1838 ½" SMT VCO has a tuning range of 2570 to 2655 MHz from 1 to 5.5V tuning using a 5V supply. Output power is +2 dBm +/-1.5 dBm while using less than 30mA of current. This VCO meets all the requirements for RoHS compliancy.
 Coaxial Terminations
A full line of RF coaxial terminations includes terminations with SMA, QMA, Mini-QMA, 2.92mm, TNC, N, HPQN, and 7/16 interfaces. Frequency ranges are offered from DC to 40 GHz with power up to 5W as standard products. Custom configurations available.
 System Solution
A highly configurable system solution for testing receivers in radar systems can be used by manufacturers and operators in development, production and service to simulate phase-coherent multichannel signals. The radar test system generates simple modulated or unmodulated pulse sequences and can also be expanded to a maximum of 10 channels to create realistic scenarios.
 Compact Network Analyzer
The E5061B is a versatile, compact network analyzer that analyzes a frequency range as low as 5 Hz up to the RF range of 3 GHz. This network analyzer’s broad range and versatility eliminates the need for additional low-frequency-dedicated instruments.
 “Green Friendly” XO
Said to be the world’s first environmentally friendly ultralow power-driven crystal clock oscillator (XO), the NZ2520SF operates on as little as 0.8V, 50% lower than comparable XOs. When coupled with a 40% reduction in current draw, the unit delivers a 70% reduction in power consumption.

The Mobile Internet Tsunami
is Real
By David J. Aldrich,
President and CEO,

Over the last several months, many of you may have heard about the “Mobile Internet Tsunami.” It has been a topic of conversation in the semiconductor industry, as well as the buzz in the investment community, as many try to determine if it is real, what impact it will have, and who stands to benefit from it.
To be clear, first let’s define what we mean. Jim Cramer, host of CNBC’s “Mad Money,” recently coined the term “Mobile Internet Tsunami” to describe the phenomenon where consumers are requiring mobile devices with faster data rates, improved video, and a superb Web connection – all in the palms of their hands. He believes that this demand is the biggest secular growth trend in technology, which he expects to parallel the PC revolution of the 1990s and the Internet explosion of late.
I agree.
In my opinion, on the high-end of the handset market, smart phone growth - - - which is at the heart of the Mobile Internet Tsunami - - - is a macro-trend that is transforming our industry. These multimedia platforms are fostering an industry-wide sea change. In effect, the smart phone is moving from a higher end tool reserved for the corporate road warrior to an increasingly mainstream communication platform necessity – one that is truly changing the way in which we live, work and play. Social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter are only furthering this trend. Furthermore, this segment is being embraced and widely promoted by carriers who benefit from the highly profitable data services revenue stream as subscribers move to enhanced data plans.
Broadly speaking, the desire by consumers to access real-time data and information – whether it is via a mobile phone, in their car, or in their home – is driving an increasing demand for wireless functionality across a diverse set of devices and creating this profound change. The growth estimates vary among analysts, but there is no denying that the demand exists, and expectations among all are that it will continue.
So who benefits from this trend and will it last? Well, first of all, semiconductor providers who can deliver solutions that enable mobile connectivity will benefit. This includes those with the broadest, most highly integrated and most comprehensive suite of cost-effective devices that meet the demanding technology requirements. Another beneficiary, as mentioned above, are the phone carriers who enjoy greater average revenue per user (ARPU). Last, but not least, we as consumers benefit. The mobile phone has already improved our quality of life. In a relatively short period of time, it has become a camera, music player, picture and text messaging platform, gaming device and GPS system, to name just a few applications we now enjoy. When you add Internet functionality, other potential applications are only limited by one’s imagination. Imagine the impact these cellular phones and other mobile devices will have as they proliferate around the world.
Yes. The Mobile Internet Tsunami is real.
