LOWELL, Mass.
– June 6, 2007 – Tyco Electronics today
announced the expansion of the M/A-COM RFID
reader module line to include new I/Q
(In-Phase/Quadrature), source and transmit
modules. The new M/A-COM RFID reader modules
are ideal for a variety of applications,
specifically those that require high
performance, flexible and compact features.
Receive I/Q
Modules
The MAIA-007860-000100,
MAIA-007859-000100 and the
MAIA-007775-000100 I/Q modules are designed
to cover the worldwide 850 MHz – 960 MHz
frequency range with a phase balance of <2.5
deg and a noise floor of ~160dBm/Hz. The
MAIA-007860-000100 (low local oscillator
drive) has a range of -4 to +2 dBm LO drive,
an excellent carrier suppression of ~44 dBc
and a sideband suppression of ~36 dBc. The
MAIA-007859-000100 (medium LO drive) has a
range of 0 to +6 dBm LO drive, a carrier
suppression of ~ 44 dBc and a sideband
suppression of ~ 42 dBc, and the
MAIA-007775-000100 (high LO drive) has a
range of +2 to +8 dBm LO drive, a carrier
suppression of ~36 dBc and a sideband
suppression of ~37 dBc.
Source Module
The MAIA-007028-000100 source module
utilizes an integrated VCO
(Voltage-Controlled Oscillator),
phased-locked loop filter and has a TCXO
(Temperature-Compensated Crystal Oscillator)
with <10 ppm stability and low phase noise.
The source modules are specifically targeted
for the RFID market and cover the worldwide
frequency bands.
Transmit
Module
The MAIA-007851-000100 transmit module is
specifically targeted for the RFID market
and covers worldwide frequency bands. The
transmit module operates in the 850 MHz –
960 MHz range, and has a 32.5 dBm output
power. It uses a 3.6 supply voltage, and has
a 0 - +7 dBm LO drive.
