- In May 2024, Nuvotronics introduced board-mountable frequency (RF) bandpass filters and diplexers, including PSD02040B2W, PSF29B22S, and PSF34B32S, leveraging its PolyStrata technology. These components deliver high performance across broad frequency ranges (18-50 GHz) with low insertion loss and high rejection, making them ideal for radar, defense, and electronic warfare applications. The PSF34B32S filter, for instance, provides over 30 dB rejection in the stopband while maintaining less than 1.2 dB insertion loss. These innovations enhance compact, high-performance diplexer solutions for next-generation RF systems
- In August 2023, Filtronic introduced the HADES X2 active diplexer, designed to enhance E-band radio performance for 5G infrastructure and advanced networks. This diplexer operates in the 71-76 GHz and 81-86 GHz bands, featuring high-power amplifiers that deliver Tx saturated output power up to 30 dBm. It supports 512QAM modulation, ensuring high linearity and signal integrity for long-range communications. The compact, low-SWAP design makes it ideal for military, aerospace, and commercial applications
- In August 2023, MACOM Technology Solutions announced the acquisition of Wolfspeed’s Radio Frequency Business for $125 million, comprising $75 million in cash and $50 million in MACOM common stock. This deal includes a 100mm GaN wafer fabrication facility in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, which MACOM will assume control of approximately two years after closing. The acquisition strengthens MACOM’s RF portfolio, expanding its customer base in aerospace, defense, industrial, and telecommunications sectors
- In June 2023, Broadcom Inc. introduced four RF front-end modules optimized for Wi-Fi 7 routers and access points (APs). These modules enhance wireless connectivity for enterprise environments, ensuring high-speed data transmission and low latency. The lineup features FBAR-integrated front-end modules (FiFEM), which improve 5 GHz and 6 GHz band coexistence while reducing RF power consumption by up to 40%. The modules support Broadcom’s Wi-Fi SoC Digital Predistortion (DPD) technology, delivering efficient signal processing
