Custom Engineering Design Solutions

RF Upconverters & Downconverters:

NuWaves' 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.

RF Receivers:

RF Tuners/Receivers:

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.

NuWaves has several high-performance, high-dynamic range RF Front-End receivers and RF Tuners that deliver superb performance in high signal environments. The receivers and tuners boast a proprietary front-end architecture delivering high linearity throughout the entire receiver's system. The tuner/receiver intercepts RF signals over multiple octaves and down-converts to standard intermediate frequencies.

RF Filters:

uFILTER^TM Family

NuWaves introduces its uFILTER product line. The uFILTER^TM 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.

RF Amplifiers: (Ordering Information)

Low Noise Amplifiers, L-Band Amplifier, GPS Amplifier, VHF Amplifier, UHF Amplifier, Miniature Form Factors

NuWaves introduces its High Intercept Low Noise Amplifier (HILNA^™) product line. The HILNA-V1 operates from 50 MHz to 1 GHz (useable to >1.5 GHz) delivering less than 1 dB of Noise Figure, 20 dB of gain, with a IP3 of +32 dBm. The module is available as a circuit card assembly for OEM applications or as a packaged unit with mounting flanges. Pricing starts at $184.00 Units are available with or without mounting flanges. (Data Sheet in PDF)

NuWaves' HILNA^™ G2V1 delivers 40 dB of gain operating from 50 MHz to 1 GHz (useable to >1.5 GHz) delivering less than 1 dB of Noise Figure with a OIP3 of +32 dBm. The module is available as a circuit card assembly for OEM applications or as a packaged unit with mounting flanges. Pricing starts at $296.00 for the packaged unit.

NuWaves introduces its High Intercept Low Noise Amplifier GPS Amplifier (HILNA^™ GPS Amplifier) RF product. The HILNA-GPS operates from 1200 MHz to 1600 MHz delivering less than 1 dB of Noise Figure, 32 dB of gain, with a IP3 of +31 dBm. The module is available as a a packaged unit with mounting flanges. Pricing starts at $296.00 for the packaged unit. Units are available with or without mounting flanges. (Data Sheet in PDF)

NuWaves introduces its Micro High Intercept Low Noise Amplifier (uHILNA^™ ) RF product. The uHILNA operates from 50 MHz to 1500 MHz delivering less than 1 dB of Noise Figure, 20 dB of gain, with a IP3 of +31 dBm. The uHILNA is provided in a miniature package and can be mounted to other hardware chassis using #2 hardware. Pricing starts at $196.00 each. (Data Sheet in PDF)

NuWaves introduces its High Intercept Low Noise Amplifier with Custom Filtering (HILNA CF^™) product line. The HILNA-CF operates from 50 MHz to 1 GHz and allows the user to define RF filtering in the form of bandpass, bandreject, lowpass, or highpass while delivering gain and preserving noise figure and intercept point. (Data Sheet in PDF)

Bi-Directional Power Amplifiers

The RF433PA, operating over the 350 to 450 MHz frequency range is a bi-directional amplifier that has a receive and transmit path. The transmit mode delivers a typical RF output power of 8 Watts with a drive level of 10 mW. An onboard harmonic filter ensures that harmonics are kept to a minimum; while a limiter in the receive path prevents the receiver from being over-loaded from high-level RF signals. The bi-directional amplifier module comes in a miniature form factor and is ideal for constant envelope modulations such as FM and FSK. Custom frequencies and power amplifier modules are available.

Synthesizers and RF Signal Sources:

CONSULT FACTORY

NuWaves' low cost new synthesized frequency generator product line provides a robust signal source with exceptional phase noise performance. The first model, available in March 2008, operates over 330 MHz to 550 MHz frequency range and delivers 40 dB attenuation control.

RF Transceivers:

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. The transceiver interfaces to OEMs controller board to form a complete radio solution.
