Tunable RF technology developer WiSpry has announced the WS1042 tunable RF quad capacitor array optimized for tunable filter applications. According to the company, this passive, non-fixed device enables RF designers to build adaptive frequency wireless networks, leveraging the highest possible Q that is required for widely tunable filter applications.
Able to change filter center frequency in less than 20µs, the WS1042 features very high linearity, enabling the chip to be used in both receive and transmit chains; voltage handling as high as 100V and capacitance step size is 25 fF—the smallest step size in the industry.
“Never before have our customers had access to capacitance technology so optimized for Tunable RF filter applications,” Jeff Hilbert, president and founder of WiSpry, Inc., said. “The WS1042 delivers the highest Q performance, extreme voltage support, smallest step size, and high linearity – designed to allow tunable filters, free of traditional constraints. Now our customers can truly build Tunable RF filter networks into a consumer wireless system.”
