In booth 815 at the 2012 IEEE/MTT-S International Microwave Symposium tradeshow in Montréal,Canada(19-21 June),M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc of Lowell,MA,USA(which makes analog semiconductors,components and subassemblies for RF,microwave and millimeter-wave applications)is showcasing a broad portfolio of new products for wireless backhaul,CATV,optical communications,and aerospace&defense applications.
New product solutions on display include:
42GHz SmartSet chipset for point-to-point wireless backhaul(including a 1 Watt power amplifier with 22dB gain and 38dBm OIP3);
350W GaN Smart Pallet,designed for S-band air-traffic control(ATC)radar with drain efficiency of more than 60%;
highly linear Edge QAM(quadrature amplitude modulation)variable gain amplifier(VGA)designed for CATV head-end modules(exceeding DOCSIS DRFI specifications with 7dB typical performance margin);
new S-band Switch Limiter with 125W Tx input power handling capability and low insertion loss(suiting radar receiver protection);and
optical modulator drivers for 100G DP-QPSK line-cards and transponders with data rates of up to 32Gbps,output amplitude of up to 8Vpp,and low power consumption.
