IRC's Microwave Catalog Details High Frequency Terminators and Attenuators


CORPUS CHRISTI, TX (July 5, 2007) - Providing RF and microwave design engineers with a wide range of devices for high power applications, TT electronics IRC Advanced Film Division has released a high frequency products catalog. IRC's family of line terminators and attenuators include both chip and flanged high power RF and microwave devices.

According to Jerry Seams, applications engineering manager for IRC's Advanced Film Division, the terminators and attenuators specified in the catalog combine high power dissipation with excellent high frequency performance. "The high frequency terminators and attenuators showcased in this catalog provide our widest range of power ratings and package types ever," said Seams, "making these devices suitable for applications that combine power and high frequency performance such as radar and high energy electromagnetic devices."

Constructed on aluminum nitride and aluminum oxide substrates, the microwave terminators and attenuators are also being specified for RF test equipment, circulators and isolators, power splitters, cell base stations, satellite communications, wireless communications, broadband RF, and spread spectrum radios, as well as aerospace, medical and industrial applications.

Depending on the device, the terminators and attenuators feature a frequency range from DC to 40GHZ and impedance values from 50Ω to 800Ω. Power ratings range from 25mW to 250W. Absolute TCRs are ±50ppm/°C. VSWR values range from 1.02 to 1.50 at rated frequencies.
