Richardson RFPD Introduces Xinger®-III 3 dB Hybrid
and Directional Couplers from Anaren

January 6, 2012 Press Release

- 3rd Generation of Subminiature Components Dramatically Smaller; Offer Same Superior Power Handling,
Insertion Loss

January 6, 2012 – LaFox, Illinois: Richardson RFPD, Inc. today announces immediate availability and full design support capabilities for the Xinger®-III line of components from Anaren. The Xinger®-III line of 3 dB hybrid and directional couplers are the latest additions to Anaren's popular Xinger-brand of subminiature components for wireless infrastructure applications.

When compared to equivalently-sized parts from the previous generation, the new Xinger®-III hybrid couplers offer 52-66% lower insertion loss (down to 0.12 dB), 5 times the power handling, 25-28% higher isolation, 63-71% better amplitude balance, and equal phase balance.

The Xinger-III directional couplers are one-fourth the size of the Xinger-II line and offer 37-64% lower insertion loss (down to 0.05 dB), 50% higher power handling, and equal directivity.

The Xinger-III parts are available as an option to customers who want the smaller footprint and performance gains to keep pace with next generation base station equipment designs; previous generations of Xinger models are still in production and available.

Xinger®-III components available now include:

X3C307P1-03 Hybrid Coupler: 0.6-0.9 GHz Frequency Range, 130 W Power Handling
X3C09P1-03 Hybrid Coupler: 0.8-1.0 GHz Frequency Range, 110 W Power Handling
X3C09P2-03 Hybrid Coupler: 0.8-1.0 GHz Frequency Range, 187 W Power Handling
X3C19P1-03 Hybrid Coupler: 1.4-2.0 GHz Frequency Range, 100 W Power Handling
X3C19P2-03 Hybrid Coupler: 1.7-2.0 GHz Frequency Range, 176 W Power Handling
X3C21P1-03 Hybrid Coupler: 2.0-2.4 GHz Frequency Range, 110 W Power Handling
X3C19P1-05 Directional Coupler: 1.7-2.0 GHz Frequency Range, 5 dB Coupling Value
X3C21P1-05 Directional Coupler: 2.0-2.3 GHz Frequency Range, 5 dB Coupling Value
X3C25P1-05 Directional Coupler: 2.3-2.7 GHz Frequency Range, 5 dB Coupling Value
X3C09E2-20 Directional Coupler: 0.7-0.96 GHz Frequency Range, 20 dB Coupling Value
X3C19E2-20 Directional Coupler: 1.4-2.7 GHz Frequency Range, 20 dB Coupling Value
X3C09P2-30 Directional Coupler: 0.7-0.96 GHz Frequency Range, 30 dB Coupling Value
X3C19P2-30 Directional Coupler: 1.4-2.7 GHz Frequency Range, 30 dB Coupling Value
X3C26P1-30 Directional Coupler: 2.3-2.9 GHz Frequency Range, 30 dB Coupling Value

The new Xinger-III components feature patent-pending design and materials advances. Their small footprint and robust power-handling capability make them viable alternatives to ceramic equivalents, thereby avoiding the risk of cracked solder joints that ceramics can create when their thermal expansion characteristics do not match the PCB on which they are mounted. The Xinger-III components are softboard, so the co-efficient of thermal expansion (CTE) disparity is not an issue, liberating designers to specify ordinary PCBs without concern about CTE mismatch.

The 0.25 x 0.2 and 0.56 x 0.2 footprints of the Xinger-III components are standardized from previous Xinger generations, facilitating cost control measures for the standardized equipment increasingly required for OEMs in wireless infrastructure markets.

Common configurations are in stock and available for immediate delivery.

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived...
