Anaren Launches New Line of Low-Cost, High-Performance Resistive Components Designed for Commercial Wireless Bands (DC - 6GHz)
November 01 2010 - 6:00AM
Anaren, Inc. (Nasdaq:ANEN) announced today that it has launched a
new line of low-cost resistive components designed specifically for
commercial wireless bands such as GSM, 3G, 4G, LTE, and popular
narrow bands between DC to 6GHz. The line of SMD, chip, flanged,
and flangeless components also offers compact packaging (as small
as 0.05" x 0.1"), RoHS-compliant materials, and electrical
performance advantages like high-power handling (up to 250W) and
low return loss that are so important to next-gen base-station
equipment providers. With the new line, Anaren is moving from a
resistive components offering which caters to all potential markets
-- in order to focus on delivering design, performance, and cost
advantages specific to the commercial wireless, high volume/low
cost segment. Meantime, Anaren's legacy resistive parts still
popular for military and instrumentation applications will remain
in full production. "For this new generation of 'wireless'
resistive parts, we basically went back to the drawing board to
design a smaller, higher-performing family of components better
suited for today's hotter-running, higher-performance wireless
applications," says Bo Jensen, the product line manager responsible
for the new line within Anaren's Wireless Group. "In the process,
we engaged our customers on the subject of pricing, and, in
response, saw this redesign as an opportunity to also drive cost
out of the equation through innovative use of materials,
procurement choices, and state-of-the-art manufacturing
techniques." The result, says Jensen, is a product line that
strikes "a balance of both performance and cost considerations." In
total, Anaren's new family of wireless resistive components offers
the following advantages:
- Specifically designed for commercial wireless bands -- with
individual parts covering all popular bands from DC to 6GHz. GSM,
3G, 4G, LTE, among others.
- Higher power-handling in ever-smaller packages -- including a
0.05 x 0.10" termination that handles 15W.
- A range of packages including SMD, chip, flanged, and
flangeless – offering the OEM additional design flexibility.
- Environmentally friendly materials and construction -- BeO-free
AlN and Alumina designs and lead-free tin finish help the OEM
comply with RoHS and other global 'green' standards and
regulations.
- Accurate characterization of performance – which enables design
engineers to specify the parts with confidence and without
having to overcompensate by specifying a costlier, higher-rated
part.
- Extremely cost-competitive pricing -- Anaren's unique product
designs and manufacturing techniques help OEMs hit their own
aggressive cost targets, while ensuring a quality product.
- Each component is backed by 40+ years of RF and microwave
engineering experience – and deep experience in manufacturing
ceramic resistive products.
As with other Anaren standard components targeted to the
wireless market, this new line is available through the Company's
authorized, stocking distributors: Richardson Electronics
(worldwide), Avnet (Asia), and BFI Optilas (Europe).
