The 50S-1720 (1P2T), 50S-1721 (1P4T), and 50S-1722 (1P8T) are JFW's newest line of PIN-Diode RF switches. They boast an operating frequency from 0.5-18GHz, 50dB minimum isolation at 18 GHz, and a maximum switching speed of 100 nanoseconds.

The LTE revolution is underway; and along with it come the increased demands of MIMO on Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS). JFW's passive RF components, including attenuators/terminations and power dividers, are designed specifically to meet the requirements of LTE MIMO-DAS deployments and upgrades.

The new 50FR- series of fixed attenuators is both reliable and affordable, starting at $12.50 US in a quantity of one (discounts apply at higher quantities). It operates from DC-3 GHz at 1 Watt average power and is available with SMA connectors (male to female) in 3, 6, 10, 20 or 30 dB values.

JFW's is proud to introduce our latest innovation in high-power RF switching. The 50S-1887 SMT is a surface-mount switch that can handle up to 100 Watts (average RF input power) and it's capable of hot-switching 20 Watts.

JFW is proud to present our latest manually variable attenuator that makes attenuation fading of LTE products quick and easy. The 50DR-125 has a frequency range of DC-2700 MHz which covers the LTE band. It has an attenuation range of 0-80dB x 1dB.

Introducing the 50S-1820 and 50S-1821 from JFW, our latest innovations in our line of high-power, solid-state RF switches. The 50S-1820 is capable of switching 100-Watts of RF power from 800-2700 MHz (cold switch), while the 50S-1821 will switch 75-Watts from 800-3000 MHz. Both switches boast 10-Microsecond switching speeds and a minimum isolation of 55dB.

The new 50S-1584 is JFW's most impressive 1P16T switch to date. It offers the speed and reliability of PIN diodes from 20-4300 MHz. It's self-terminating and also boasts a minimum isolation of 50 dB with typical VSWR of 1.4:1.

Thousands of companies embrace Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT) to rapidly improve the reliability of their electronic product designs. Conducting HALTs early in the product development process are most beneficial, as reliability can most easily be improved early in the development process.
