The MRF6V4300N power transistor is ideal for a wide range of applications, including radar and air traffic management systems. It is designed to deliver the highest gain and efficiency in its class. The MRF6V4300N delivers RF output power of 300W CW from 10 MHz to 600 MHz. At 450 MHz, it has a gain of 22 dB and 60 percent efficiency. Freescale’s LDMOS RF devices have been proven in wireless and other applications around the world, and now we’re bringing their capabilities to the aerospace market where they are superior in performance to previous-generation devices currently in use. The MRF6V4300N device has exceptionally tight mechanical tolerances and an extremely low thermal resistance of 0.24 degrees Celsius per watt (C/W), which enhances the management of heat dissipation and helps reduce the heat sink size…

Model 7153 is a 4-channel and high-speed digitizer PMC module designed for processing baseband RF or IF signals from a communications receiver. This is the only product of its kind in the market that employs the new ADS5485 A/D Converter just released by Texas Instruments. the Model 7153 is ideal for high-bandwidth radar and communication systems such as wideband CDMA, UMTS, SRW, LTE and 4G wireless. The Model 7153 has four embedded power meters that continuously monitor the average output power of each DDC channel. The power meters are readable by the system processor for measuring and detecting signal energy and for implementing AGC loops…
