RF and wireless connectivity make the world go round.
Consumers think nothing of the technical wizardry keeping wireless networks running smoothly. Active antennas, towers, base stations, network equipment and other devices interoperate offering the services defining daily life.
However, dig a layer deeper. The network equipment can’t work without the latest RF components. Whether upconverters, downconverters, ADCs, DACs, switches, filters or interconnect, high-performance RF components are the heart of wireless connectivity. New components need to be smaller, denser and improve performance.
Otava’s new tunable filters cover 2.5 – 40 GHz frequency bands. Using highly integrated devices simplifies RF filter networks and frees up PCB space at the same time. Frequency ranges of the devices include:
