WCDMA Band VIII Duplexer Breaks Size Barriers

Described as the smallest duplexer for the WCDMA Band VIII, the company's latest duplexer, based on a SAW-SAW combination, measures 3 mm x 2.5 mm x 1.1 mm. It specifies insertion losses of 1.7 dB in the Tx path and 2 dB in the Rx path and integrates a balun in the Rx path for impedance matching and balancing from 50Ω to 100Ω, making the duplexer compatible with all common chipsets.
