Device Type / Package
   Device Type:       
   Your choices are...         
   Diplexer       A diplexer is a three-port frequency-dependent device that may be used as a separator or a combiner of signals 
   Duplexer       A duplexer is a device which allows a transmitter operating on one frequency and a receiver operating on a different frequency to share one common antenna with a minimum of interaction and degradation of the different RF signals. 
   Triplexer       A triplexer is a four-port frequency-dependent device that may be used as a separator or a combiner of one signal to three. 
   Quadplexer       A quadplexer is a five-port frequency-dependent device that may be used as a separator or a combiner of one signal to four. 
   Multiplexer       A multiplexer is a multi-port frequency-dependent device that may be used as a separator or a combiner of one signal to many.

   Surface Mount Technology (SMT)       Surface mount technology (SMT) adds components to a printed circuit board (PCB) by soldering component leads or terminals to the top surface of the board. SMT components have a flat surface that is soldered to a flat pad on the face of the PCB. Typically, the PCB pad is coated with a paste-like formulation of solder and flux. With careful placement, SMT components on solder paste remain in position until elevated temperatures, usually from an infrared oven, melt the paste and solder the component leads to the PCB pads.   Industry-standard pick-and-place equipment can mount SMT components quickly, accurately, and cost-effectively. SMT is a widely used alternative to mounting processes that insert pins or terminals through holes and solder leads into place on the opposite side of the board.  
   Flat Pack (FPAK)       Flat pack (FPAK) devices have gull wing or flat leads on two or four sides. They provide exceptional thermal and electrical performance and are available in cavity-up and cavity-down configurations. Flat pack devices are typically ceramic, hermetic, and surface-mounted. They are available in a variety of body sizes and pin counts. 
   Through Hole Technology (THT)       Through hole technology (THT) mounts components on a printed circuit board (PCB) by inserting component leads through holes in the board and then soldering the leads in place on the opposite side of the board. 
   Connectorized       Connectorized devices attach with coaxial or other types of connectors. 
   Waveguide Assembly       Waveguide assemblies are used in microwave waveguide systems. They consist of a hollow metallic conductor with a rectangular, elliptical, or circular cross-section. Some conductors contain solid or gaseous dielectric materials. 
   Other       Other, not specified, package.

   RF Connector:       
   Your choices are...         
   BNC       Bayonet Neil-Concelman (BNC) connectors were designed for military applications, but are used widely in video and RF applications to 2 GHz. BNC connectors have a slotted outer conductor and a plastic dielectric that causes increasing losses at higher frequencies. BNC connectors are usable above 4 GHz as long as the slots radiate signals; however, these devices may not be mechanically stable to 10 GHz. Both 50Ω  and 75Ω BNC connectors are available. BNC connectors are also known as bayonet navy connectors or baby Neil connectors. 
   MCX       Miniature coaxial (MCX) connectors provide broadband capability through 6 GHz and are used in applications where weight and physical space are limited. They provide good electrical performance and are used to address the rapid implementation of the U.S. digital cellular PCN infrastructure. MCX connectors are also used in global positioning systems (GPS) and wireless LAN  (WLAN) applications. 
   Mini UHF       Mini-UHF connectors are a miniature version of the original UHF connector and feature a threaded coupling mechanism for reliable mating. The mini-UHF connector is designed for use in cellular mobile telephone systems where size, weight and cost are critic 
   MMCX       Micro-miniature coaxial (MMCX) connectors are smaller than MCX connectors and feature a more robust interface for greater durability. They are ideal for high volume, wireless SMT or PCMCIA applications in cellular base stations, cellular phones and personal communicators. MMCX connectors are also used in global positioning systems and wireless LAN (WLAN) applications. 
   SMA       The SMA (Subminiature A) connector was designed by Bendix Scintilla Corporation and Omni-Spectra Corporation as the OSM connector, and is one of the most commonly used RF/microwave connectors. It is intended for use on semi-rigid cables and in components 
   SMB       The SMB (Subminiature B) connector is a snap-mount connector rated at 4 GHz, but usable to 10 GHz. The Mil standard is MIL-STD-348. Typical insertion loss is as much as 0.3 dB at rated frequencies, making this connector a poor choice in critical low noise 
   SMP       The SMP (Subminiature P) connector is rated to 40 GHz, and depending on detent type, it can withstand from 100 to 1,000 interconnect cycles. 
   TNC       Threaded Neil-Concelman (TNC) connectors are similar in size to BNC connectors but feature a threaded coupling nut for applications that require performance to 11 GHz. TNC connectors are durable, reliable devices that are widely used in the cellular and mobile communication industry for equipment cabling and antenna interfaces. 
   Type F       Type F connectors have a screw-type coupling and frequency range up to 1.5 GHz. Applications include CATV, TV, and antennas. 
   Type N       Type N connectors include an integrated gasket to protect against environmental ingress and create an air gap between the center and the outer conductor. They primarily have 50Ω impedance, but 75Ω versions for CATV, are available. 
   UHF       Ultra high frequency (UHF) connectors are economical, all-purpose connectors designed with non-constant impedance for use in comparatively low voltage and low frequency applications such as citizens' band (CB) communications systems. UHF connectors are also used in public address systems, closed circuit television (CCTV), civil defense, landing systems, ground control apparatus, ship-to-shore communications, and mobile radio equipment hookups between antenna and transmitters or receivers. 
   1.6 / 5.6       1.6 / 5.6 connectors are mechanically sturdy devices that feature a coupling mechanism. They are often used with equipment that requires resistance against environmental and mechanical stress. 1.6 / 5.6 connectors are also suitable for handling RF analog and digital signals in telecommunications systems. 
   7/16       7-16 connectors are designed for use in medium to high power communication systems. These connectors perform exceptionally well in multichannel cellular systems where power levels approximate 100 watts per channel. Designed for both flexible as well as corrugated cables, these connectors are used in a variety of cellular base station and broadcast communication applications. 
   Other       Other unlisted RF connectors.

   Insertion Loss:       Insertion loss (in dB) is the total RF power transmission loss resulting from the insertion of a device in a transmission line. It is defined as the ratio of signal power at the output of the inserted device to the input signal power at the input of the inserted device.  
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value less than or equal to the specified value.
   VSWR:       VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) is a unitless ratio ranging from 1 to infinity, expressing the amount of reflected energy at the input of the device.  A value of one indicates that all the energy will pass through, while any other value indicates that a portion of the energy will be reflected. 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value less than or equal to the specified value.
