Mini Circuits Bias Tee
Combining the virtues of its proprietary low-temperature, co-fired ceramic (LTCC) technology with clever circuit techniques, Mini-Circuits has crafted a high-performance bias tee for applications such as amplifiers, laser diodes and active antennas. Labeled TCBT, the new bias tee is designed to provide superior performance in a tiny surface-mount package that measures 0.15 inch x 0.15 inch x 0.15 inch, saving PCB space for the designer. Although the package is a standard format, it is the smallest bias tee for the frequency range it serves, claims the developer. In fact, this miniature device boasts an unprecedented performance over a wideband of 50 MHz to 6.0 GHz.

According to the company, this patent-pending unit comes in two models. While TCBT-6G operates over a range of 50 MHz to 6.0 GHz, TCBT-2R5G is rated from 20 MHz to 2.5 GHz. Both models are guaranteed to operate at up to 100 mA DC current and 25 dBm RF power. Meanwhile, efforts are under way to further extend the frequency performance of this bias tee by further reducing the parasitics.
