Power Handling Considerations for SMD Terminations, Attenuators, and Resistors
Power ratings for Anaren’s SMD Terminations, Attenuators, and Resistors are based off of the temperature at the solder interface where the solder is in contact with the SMD components. This application note describes the power rating of high power surface mount resistive products, as well as techniques for maximizing power handling performance of these products.

Recommended Soldering Techniques for SMD, Chip, Flangeless, and Flanged Resistors
This application note provides recommendations for attached Anaren’s SMD, chip, flangeless, and flanged resistive products. A good solder joint can be critical in achieving a chip’s maximum performance. Mounting considerations for each different type are included with accompanying figures for visual aids. All Anaren resistives have a matte tin outside finish to achieve good solderability and RoHS compliance.

Thermal Power Testing Methodology for Chip, Flange, and PCB-Mounted Resistors
Resistors can be used to dissipate excess power, act as a system’s safety mechanism, provide a matching device, and more. Resistors convert electrical energy into heat energy through the use of a resistive element. They’re usually mounted to a heatsink, a flange, or directly on a PCB.
PASSIVE COMPONENTS PRODUCTS
Wireless Filter Solutions
API Technologies (Utilizing the combined heritage of CMT, Spectrum Microwave, Salisbury Engineering, and FSY Microwave) has developed and produced high quality, High “Q” Filters since 1983, and assisted major wireless carriers and installers with co-location solutions at BTS sites. Key performance features include Low PIM (passive intermodulation), high isolation and low insertion loss.
3dB Hybrid Couplers: TEMline™ Series
API Technologies’ TEMlineTM series of 3dB hybrid couplers have an average power rating of 1000W and are normalized at 1GHz. They also feature 1 dB maximum unbalance and 90 degree phase differential between outputs. They’ve been designed to meet MIL-E-5400 Class 3 and are screenable to MIL-P-23971, making them an ideal solution for telecommunications and radar applications.
Switched Filter Banks
API Technologies Switched Filter Bank designs draw from a multi-disciplined staff with many years of experience in both microwave filters and control components. By combining filter and switch design expertise, API can provide integrated switched filter assemblies that not only reduce the overall mechanical footprint, but also offer improved electrical performance. This improved performance is achieved by having the ability to align the filters to the switches, thus removing any of the associated mismatches between the two.
2-40 GHz Directional Couplers: 102040010/K
These compact and lightweight directional couplers cover the 2.0 to 40.0 GHz frequency range and offer 10 dB nominal coupling. They’re ideal for signal monitoring and measurement, military and EMC testing environments, antenna beam forming, cable distributed systems, and other broadband electronic warfare (EW) and commercial wireless systems.
Surface Mount Lowpass Filter Series
DLI’s series of surface mount lowpass filters are compact and fully shielded. They feature frequency stability over temperature, excellent repeatability, 50Ω characteristic impedance, and a -55oC to +125oC operating temperature.
Cavity Filter: JDCCF014U004
This cavity filter operates in the 1150-1650 MHz frequency range, has an insertion loss of <0.3dB, <1.5:1 VSWR, and a DC-900MHz@>40dB; 1800-3000MHz@>40dB rejection. Additional features include female-SMA connection and 50ohms impedance. Download the datasheet for additional specifications.
Multiplexer for Radar, EW, and ELINT: NF29525
The NF29525 is a multiplexer with an integrated low noise amplifier. It covers the 2 to 18 GHz frequency range and has been specifically designed for agile receiver front ends and directional finding systems.
