RFMD Expands Portfolio of RF Components to Include
Narrowband MMIC
VCOs with Integrated Dividers
-- 14 New Narrowband VCOs Cover 7.2 - 15.1 GHz Frequency Range and
Target Growing
Point-to-Point Radio Market
BALTIMORE, June 6, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RF Micro Devices, Inc.
(Nasdaq:RFMD), a global leader in the design and manufacture of high-performance
radio frequency components and compound semiconductor technologies,
today announced the expansion of its multi-market product portfolio
to include the RFVC1831 — RFVC1844 family of MMIC voltage controlled
oscillators (VCOs). The 14 new narrowband VCOs are optimized for the
point-to-point (P2P) radio market, with cellular backhaul the leading
application. The VCOs are also suited for satellite communications,
test & measurement, aerospace & defense, and other defense and
commercial applications.
The P2P radio market is growing rapidly,
as the proliferation of smartphones and the increasing demand for mobile
data are forcing cellular operators to expand capacity in cellular backhaul
networks. RFMD's new narrowband MMIC VCOs satisfy operators' capacity
expansion requirements by delivering industry-leading phase noise performance
and minimal power consumption. The VCOs also feature monolithic construction
and exhibit superior performance related to temperature, shock, and
vibration.
Jeff Shealy, general manager of RFMD's Defense and Power
business unit, said, "RFMD's RFVC1831 through RFVC1844 MMIC VCOs complement
our existing RFUV and RFRX product families of integrated up-converters
and down-converters and extend our commitment to providing the industry's
most comprehensive and most technically advanced product portfolio for
point-to-point microwave radio applications."
The excellent phase
noise performance of RFMD's RFVC1831 - RFVC1844 MMIC VCOs enables the
development of next-generation high capacity radios using complex modulation
schemes. The VCOs also feature a common footprint, providing radio designers
extra flexibility in designing outdoor base station units (ODUs) covering
discrete radio bands from 6GHz to 38GHz. Finally, the VCOs feature integrated
dividers that can be disabled if not required in particular applications.
RFMD is exhibiting the above components at the IEEE International Microwave
Symposium 2011, June 6-8, at the Baltimore Convention Center, in Booth
1402.
