Fairview Microwave Debuts a Complete Family of High Reliability RF & Microwave Power Amplifiers

Allen, TX – Fairview Microwave Inc., a supplier of on-demand microwave and RF components, has released a complete portfolio of coaxial high reliability power amplifiers with broadband frequencies ranging from 0.5 MHz to 20 GHz that can operate over extreme temperatures across -55°C to +85°C. These high-rel amplifiers are commonly used in demanding environments for applications involved with electronic warfare, instrumentation, military communications, radar, point-to-point radio, telecom, test & measurement, medical, and SATCOM industries.

The new families of hi-rel power amplifiers from Fairview are designed to overcome the electrical and mechanical stresses that are seen with exposure to harsh environments. These RF amplifiers boast rugged package enclosures that can withstand vibration and shock exposure during handling and transport. Several models in this offering are designed to meet MIL-STD-202 and MIL-STD-810 environmental test conditions, while some amplifier designs are environmentally screened in production to MIL-STD-202 test conditions. Some models feature integrated heatsink and cooling fans for improved thermal dissipation performance resulting in extended operating life.  And for added reliability against harsh environments, certain models utilize hermetically sealed coaxial packages.

Fairview’s high reliability power amplifiers can generate saturated output power levels (Psat) up to 100 watts and all models require only a single positive voltage supply ranging from +12 to +42 Vdc. Small signal gain levels range from 11 dB to 58 dB with IP3 linearity up to +66 dBm resulting in high dynamic range. All models are unconditionally stable.

“Our new high-rel power amplifiers are designed to meet a number of military standards which result in highly reliable operation and give designers added confidence and assurance for long term optimum performance,” explains Brian McCutcheon, Vice President and General Manager at Fairview Microwave.

The new hi-rel RF amplifiers from Fairview are in-stock and available now. You can view the entire line of these new products by visitinghttp://www.fairviewmicrowave.com/rf-products/hi-rel-amplifiers.html directly. Fairview Microwave can be contacted at +1-949-261-1920.

Quickly and accurately identify inter-domain leakage issues in IC designs

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Power domain leakage is a major IC reliability issue, often missed by traditional tools. This white paper describes challenges of identifying leakage, types of false results, and presents Siemens EDA’s Insight Analyzer. The tool proactively finds true leakage paths, filters out false positives, and helps circuit designers quickly fix risks—enabling more robust, reliable chip designs. With detailed, context-aware analysis, designers save time and improve silicon quality.
