Front End Module operating from 24 – 30 GHz and can be used in low power Ka band applications

Overview

RFFEM01C Front End Module operates from 24 – 30 GHz and can be used in low power Ka band application. The input and output are matched to 50 ohms with on-chip DC blocking capacitors. The device is specifically designed to use in point-to-point radios for 5G RF Transceiver & SATCOM. The technology used to design front-end module is 0.1um GaAs pHEMT process. Results are shown in datasheet with all parasitics & coupling effects at desired frequency.
