Multi-Layer Chip Baluns For WiMAX Break Size Barrier

Introduced as the industry's smallest, the AMB1608C series multi-layer chip baluns for WiMAX and Mobile WiMAX designs measure 1.6 mm x 0.8 mm x 0.6 mm. The components specify a low insertion loss of 0.6 dB and operating frequencies of 2.5 GHz and 3.6 GHz. The four baluns in the series exhibit a typical return loss of 15 dB and an unbalanced impedance of 50Ω. Balanced impedance, depending on the model, is either 50Ω or 100Ω. Samples will ship in April.
