Anaren Xinger-III component range

Richardson RFPD has released, and offers full design support capabilities for, the Xinger-III range of components from Anaren.

These are 3 dB hybrid and directional couplers and the latest additions to the Xinger-brand of subminiature components for wireless infrastructure applications.

When compared with equivalently-sized parts from the previous generation, the couplers offer 52-66% lower insertion loss (down to 0.12 dB), five times the power handling, 25-28% higher isolation, 63-71% better amplitude balance and equal phase balance.

The couplers are a quarter the size of the Xinger-II range and offer 37-64% lower insertion loss (down to 0.05 dB), 50% higher power handling and equal directivity.

Their small footprint and robust power-handling make them alternatives to ceramic equivalents.
