ANN-8803 - Recommended Soldering Techniques

From Anaren, Inc.

When attaching Anaren SMD, chip, flangeless, and flanged resistive products, a good solder joint is critical in achieving
maximum performance out of the chip. All Anaren resistive products have a matte tin outside finish to achieve good
solderability and RoHS compliancy. Anaren resistive products are designed to be soldered in accordance with the IPC-A-
610 standard.

Delay Lines
Delay lines are devices used to slow down a signal by a time interval in an electrical network. There are two basic delay line technologies: passive and active. 
I/Q Modulators and I/Q Demodulators
I/Q modulators and I/Q demodulators change the amplitude, frequency, or phase of a carrier signal in order to transmit information. I/Q modulators split an incoming data stream into its in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) components, mix the resulting signals with local oscillators that are 90º apart in phase, and then combine the outputs vectorially in a 0º mixer.
RF Phase Detectors and Comparators
RF phase detectors and comparators are circuits or instruments that provide a DC output voltage proportional to the difference in phase between two RF signals.
RF Isolators and RF Circulators
RF isolators and RF circulators are passive devices used to control the propagation of an RF signal.
RF Receivers
RF receivers are electronic devices that enable a particular radio signal to be separated from all others being received and converted into a format for video, voice, or data.
