Modelithics and MACOM Provide Simulation Models for New Power Divider, Coupler and Balun Models

Modelithics, a leading provider of RF/microwave simulation models and MACOM Technology Solutions (MACOM), a leading supplier of semiconductor products, have announced the release of new models for three MACOM components: the MAPD-011062 power divider, the MACP-011088 bi-directional coupler, and the MABA-011125 balun. Each model is a substrate selectable S-parameter data model valid through 50 GHz. The new models are available within the Modelithics COMPLETE Library™ as well as the Modelithics mmWave & 5G Library.

Both the MAPD-011062 power divider and the MABA-011125 balun come in a 3-mm, 16-lead QFN package, while the MACP-011088 bi-directional coupler comes in a 4-mm, 24-lead QFN package. The models for all three parts were developed based on multi-port S-parameter measurements with calibration referenced to the edges of the bonding pads on the package. Measurements of all three components were performed on both 6.6- and 10-mil Rogers 4350B substrates to enable substrate selectable models to be created. Designers can select either of the two substrates within the model parameters. Applications for the MAPD-011062 power divider, the MACP011088 bi-directional coupler, and the MABA-011125 balun include test and measurement, military communications, and multi-band radios.
