50-Watt Directional Coupler
Model 251-087-010 is a 50 Ohm directional coupler that covers 12.4 - 18 GHz frequency range and features a 10 dB coupling value. The frequency sensitivity is ± 0.75 dB maximum, insertion loss is 1.0 dB maximum and directivity is 12 dB minimum. Maximum VSWR is 1.50:1, RF input power is 50-Watts average /1000-Watts peak and the RF connectors are SMA female. Directional Couplers designed by BroadWave provide an accurate method for sampling a signal. We offer couplers for most applications including power measurements, signal leveling, and frequency measurements from 500 MHz to 18 GHz with N or SMA connectors.

Tech Brief: Bandpass and Band-reject Microwave Filters
Using small conductive “loops” a YIG filter is coupled to and from a YIG sphere’s resonant magnetic field. The closer the loop, the wider the bandwidth. Bandwidth can also be expanded by increasing the number of YIG resonators and carefully “tuning” the RF coupling loops. In this brief, RF engineers will learn the three basic methods in which this coupling is applied: signal transfer; signal reflection; and oscillation feedback, and how this differentiates a bandpass from a band-reject filter.

Qorvo® to Create State-of-the-Art Semiconductor Packaging Center
Qorvo® has been selected by the U.S. government to create a State-of-the-Art (SOTA) Heterogeneous Integrated Packaging (SHIP) RF production and prototyping center. The SHIP program will ensure that microelectronics packaging expertise and leadership is available for both U.S. defense contractors and commercial clients that require design, validation, assembly, test and manufacturing of next-generation RF components.
The exclusive SHIP Other Transaction Agreement (OTA), worth up to $75 million, was awarded to Qorvo by the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC), Crane Division. This program is funded by the Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Research and Engineering’s (OUSD R&E) Trusted and Assured Microelectronics Program (T&AM), and is administered by the Strategic & Spectrum Missions Advanced Resilient Trusted System (S²MARTS) Other Transaction Agreement (OTA), managed by National Security Technology Accelerator (NSTXL).
Under the SHIP program, Qorvo will design and deliver the highest levels of heterogeneous packaging integration. This is essential to meet the size, weight, power and cost (SWAP-C) requirements for next-generation phased array radar systems, unmanned vehicles, electronic warfare platforms and satellite communications.
