Stocked RF Products

High Intercept Low Noise Amplifier (HILNA) Family

NuWaves’ HILNA™ family of amplifiers are designed to achieve an unprecedented unique combination of amplifier attributes to include very low noise, high gain, high linearity, and broadband performance.

Frequency Converters

Multi-Octave RF Up Converter (MORF)

The MORF™ model RF2-3000UCV1 provides an up-converted RF signal from 2 MHz to 3 GHz from IF frequencies between 2 MHz - 70 MHz. Additionally, the converter boasts variable attenuation control and selectable bandwidth filtering. Boasting a miniature size of <9 cubic inches and a frequency step size of 5 kHz, the RF upconverter provides solutions for many military and industrial applications. Development kits are available that includes software for a PC Control Panel and an interface cable.

Down Converter (ConvertaWave)

The ConvertaWave™ model RF22-52DCV1, is a robust RF downconverter. The downconverter provides superior rejection of out of band signals, AGC/MGC operation, and operates over VHF and UHF frequencies. The downconverter has extremely low noise figure and user selectable features.

Filters

uFilters

NuWaves introduces its uFILTER product line. The uFILTERTM product line consists of standard and custom designed filters. Custom filters are available from 70 MHz to 1 GHz in low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, and band-reject configurations. Standard filters are available many frequencies and bandwidths.

HiPerTUNER

The RF200-2500TUNV1 is the first in a family of premier high-performance; wideband RF Tuners (HiPerTUNER™) designed for front-end receiver and transmit applications where stringent RF filtering of the signal-of-interest is required with superb out of band rejection. The RF Tuner operates over a frequency range of 200 MHz to 2500 MHz.

Design Examples

Power Amplifiers

NuWaves delivers custom high performance power amplifiers to support numerous military requirements including broadband, bi-directional, variable output, high linearity, and high efficiency. Custom solutions tailored to the modulating waveform as well as state-of-the-Art Research and Development are among the many strengths of the NuWaves team.

The RFU8096PA delivers better than 50 Watts of RF power when driven with 10 Watts. The Power Amplifier delivers broad-band operation covering 800 - 960 MHz. Operating in class AB mode, the assembly supports both Analog and Digital modulation formats. Applications include Cellular Base Stations.

This 100 Watt Power Amplifier operates in the HF band delivering burst transmissions with high duty cycles. The pulsed amplifier is highly reliable and meets the demanding environmental requirements within the industrial market place. VSWR protection, programmable on/off duty cycles and pulse repetition rates, as well as programmable RF output power are only a few of the attributes of this high quality design.

RF Transceivers

VHF RF data transceivers

NuWaves’ RF-V-47-TR VHF data transceiver is a high performance and cost effective transmitter/receiver designed for operation at 47 MHz. The transceiver operates on one of two channels providing half duplex communications. The message formatting, synchronization, and transceiver transmission/reception is performed by the transceiver; no special host software is required to operate the radio. The transceiver boasts a unique NuWaves proprietary RF architecture. The robust design provides the user with future growth capabilities. For example, with little modification, the transceiver can be tailored to operate over other frequency bands and/or deliver higher RF output power.

UHF RF data transceivers

The RF-U-3545-TR-2 RF Module produces 100mW of RF at the antenna port. The transceiver delivers extremely low transmit spurious signals. The design includes robust defenses from against interface issues such as over-voltage, over-current, and reverse voltage protection. The demodulated receiver data is uncorrelated and requires integration into the OEM's host controller for bit synchronization and parsing of messages thereby forming an entire Radio Transceiver.

The RF-U-3545-TR-1 RF Module boasts dual RF output power modes. The transceiver incorporates state-of-the-art power amplifier protection circuitry including a Voltage Standing Wave Ration (VSWR) detector that provides a go/no go indication, over-voltage, and reverse voltage protection. The design includes power detection methods that hold the RF output power relatively constant over varying conditions such as temperature and supply voltage.
