Aircraft assembly components identified readily
Tyco Electronics' Identification and Labelling Products Group is at Paris Air Show offering the a comprehensive choice of component, pipe, wire and panel identification products.
"Because these devices are wideband, users can rely on a single power amplifier instead of multiple solutions for different RFID frequency bands anywhere in the world".
"Additionally, the product's high efficiency performance (50%) makes these power amplifierandacirc;andeuro;s ideal for mobile applications and RFID reader systems".
The MAAPSS0095 is designed to be a 1.6 watt device packaged in a RoHS compliant 3mm, 16-lead PQFN package and includes bias networks that can be controlled by analog signals to switch from active to stand-by modes.

Cable clamp grommets installed easily
Tyco Electronics has introduced ShrinkHOoP heat-shrinkable cable clamp grommets, which offer significant advantages in applying strain relief to open wire bundles and cable looms.
It is fabricated on a low-cost, high reliability HBT GaAs process.
Each MAAPSS0095 is 100% radio frequency (RF) tested to ensure performance compliance.
The wide bandwidth and high efficiency of the MAAPSS0095 makes it the ideal amplifier solution for RFID applications in the U.S., Europe and Japan.
The MAAP-007649-000100 is designed as a 2 watt HBT power amplifier that displays ultra high linearity for RFID applications, with greater than 1 watt DRM spectral mask linearity.
Frequency coverage is designed to be between 800 to 1000 MHz, with 19 dB gain, 15 dB OIP3 / P1dB figure of merit, and 50% PAE @ P1dB.
It is fabricated on a low-cost, high reliability HBT GaAs process.
On chip bias networks allow for power down control capability.
Evaluation boards optimised for RFID bands are available.
The MAAP-007649-000100 can also be used in a variety of cellular infrastructure applications.
The device is available in a surface mount 4mm 16 Lead PQFN package, and the assembly is RoHS compliant. Request a free brochure from Tyco Electronics ...
