November 2016 – RF Power Modules

Published on: 04/11/2016

Radio Frequency Modules Explained

RF Power Modules

 

What is an RF Module?

RF Power Modules are small electronic circuits which receive, transmit or transceive radio waves on a number of frequencies. RF is an abbreviation for Radio Frequency, and are used in consumer applications such as wireless alarm systems and smart senor applications. RF Modules are often used instead of infrared remote controls because they do not require a line-of-sight operation.

 

RF Modules & Solutions from GD Rectifiers

GD Rectifiers stock a wide range of RF Modules and Solutions from the world’s leading manufacturer, IXYS. IXYS RF Power Modules combine state-of-the-art CMOS gate driver ICs and power RF MOSFETs in single devices to enable more compact and efficient designs along with a reduced parts count. The modules are packaged in IXYS RF’s low-inductance RF package incorporating layout techniques to minimise stray lead inductances for optimum switching performance in a surface-mountable device.
