Teledyne Technologies is showcasing its broad range of advanced RF & Microwave products and capabilities at the annual International Microwave Symposium, revamped into a ‘virtual’ online event this year due to the ongoing pandemic. Nine separate Teledyne brands currently deliver complex RF/MW solutions globally for the most demanding applications. The experienced engineering resources and research and development teams embedded within Teledyne continue to develop and bring to market innovative RF/MW technologies to meet new and emerging challenges.
Here is an overview of Teledyne RF/MW Capabilities being showcased at IMS 2020:
- Dual-Channel Digital-to-Analog Converters (DACs): From Teledyne e2v Semiconductors, the new EV12DD700 dual-channel DACs operate at any band up to Ka and enable system designers to migrate more RF hardware to digital code than ever before. They support beamforming applications and have a 25 GHz output bandwidth 3dB point, and they can push well beyond this with just slightly more attenuation. An array of sophisticated signal processing functionality including a digital up-converter is also built-in to each DAC.
- 90 GHz Connectors: From Teledyne Storm Microwave, there are new connectors optimized for 90 GHz now available. In addition to Storm’s 1.0 mm connectors that have an upper-frequency range of 110 GHz, these two new 1.35 mm connectors have a more robust mechanical design than the 1.0 mm connector and are perfect for test and measurement used in applications like next-generation vehicles and 5G backhaul radios. These new connectors significantly broaden the utility of Storm’s existing SFO47EW cable. The WR12 direct connect waveguide flange (not an adapter) allows the SF047EW cable to be substituted in applications that would normally be restricted to using rigid waveguide thus giving the designer the ultimate layout flexibility.
- Track and Hold Amplifiers: From Teledyne Scientific Company, new 50 GHz bandwidth Track and Hold amplifiers are now available, the RTH110 and RTH130. The RTH110 has an RF input bandwidth of 50 GHz and a maximum sampling rate of 300 MHz and is ideal for signal sampling in Test and Measurement applications. The RTH130 has the same specifications but with a 10 GHz+ sampling rate. It is a perfect fit for direct down-conversion in RF applications. Both amps are available in an organic 4x4mm QFN package.
- Digitizer Studio Software: From Teledyne SP Devices, a redesigned Digitizer software environment is now available that is versatile and easy to use for Teledyne SP Devices’ high-performance digitizer products. The software, Digitizer Studio, offers powerful configuration, control, and display capabilities which greatly help simplify both performance evaluation and system-level integration. Digitizer Studio is a collaboration with Teledyne LeCroy based on over 20 years of software development experience in the field.
