What You Want To Know About GPS
By Spectracom Corporation
GPS is a satellite-based radio navigation system developed and operated by the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD). GPS consists of three segments: space, control, and user. The GPS concept of operation is based upon satellite ranging. Users figure their position on the earth by measuring their distance from the group of satellites in space. The satellites act as precise reference points.

Datasheet: 5-GHz High-Band Wi-Fi Front End Module
The RF5506 provides a complete integrated solution in a single front end module (FEM) for Wi-Fi 802.11a systems. The ultra small form factor and integrated matching minimizes the layout in the customer's application and greatly reduces the number of external components to only one bypass capacitor for supply decoupling. This simplifies the total front end solution by reducing the bill of materials, system footprint, and manufacturability cost.

Specification Sheet: High-Power Hybrids
Corry Micronics 90º high power hybrids cover a frequency range from 870 MHz to 2,200 MHz. A 90º hybrid has two outputs that maintain the same output level but the signals on the two outputs are 90º apart. On our hybrids there is a fourth termination or isolation port that absorbs half of any reflected signals from any mismatch on either output.
