Low-loss CATV transformer supports DOCSIS3.1 requirements

A 1:1 impedance ratio, transmission line transformer covering frequencies from of 45 to 1200MHz, the MiniRF MRFXF0024, is now available from RFMW. Capable of supporting DOCSIS3.1 requirements, the MRFXF0024 is designed for applications requiring low loss and where noise figure (NF) concerns are critical. Characteristic impedance is 75 ohms and insertion loss ranges from 0.4dB for return path applications to 0.6dB for downstream circuits. The MRFXF0024 has excellent amplitude and phase balance and capable of handling a maximum 2W RF input. The device's industry-standard S-20 package is RoHS compliant and available in tape and reel for applications that require very small, low cost, and highly reliable surface-mount components.
