TriQuint showcasing new products at EuMW

RF front-end component maker and foundry services provider TriQuint Semiconductor Inc of Hillsboro, OR, USA, is showcasing twelve new products at European Microwave Week in Amsterdam next week (29-31 October). These include new packaged transistors and amplifiers, including four based on gallium nitride (GaN) and four based on gallium arsenide (GaAs) technology, and a family of RF GPS diplexers that reduce PCB space nearly three times compared to ceramic filter products. The products support a wide variety of commercial and defense applications such as emergency responder radios, electronic warfare, radar solutions and test equipment.

Besides showcasing its new products at EuMW, TriQuint will present new radar and sensing technology solutions in the European-focused 'Defence, Security and Space Forum' on 31 October in the main auditorium of the RAI Center. The presentation will focus on new GaN products and integrated assemblies for the changing needs of global security and defense systems. Admission is free.

TriQuint’s new diplexer family grew out of customer needs for performance and faster delivery, along with the option to change filters throughout production lifetimes, says the firm. In addition to quicker product delivery, the new approach allows customers to reduce the space needed for filter designs. The new plug-and-play, 5mm x 5mm x 2mm integrated products are orders of magnitude smaller than lumped element diplexers and nearly three times smaller than similar high-performance RF ceramic filter modules.

"TriQuint's new integration approach and focus on broad-market products is allowing us to be more responsive to customer requests," said Infrastructure and Defense Products VP & general manager, James L. Klein. "TriQuint's focus to expand our product lines and deliver more products to customers more quickly has resulted in a new approach to filter technology. This new design and manufacturing flexibility will enable our global customers to bring their products to market faster than ever."
