ANNOUCEMENTS

MCDI continues to provide full-service despite the current situation, handling proposals, orders, and professional engineering support through all channels, including personal meetings.

Shipments

Most airlines have ceased their flights to Israel, the remaining available flights are prioritized for critical supplies, leading to a severe lack of available cargo space and delays. The delays are due to force majeure and we are doing our utmost best to minimize them as much as possible.

We recommend checking your current orders and expediting (where possible) your requested delivery dates. We are at your disposal to expedite shipments as much as possible to ensure their timely delivery. Contact us, and we will be happy to assist with any questions or concerns.

As always, we are here for you.

NEW ARTICLE

RF/Microwave Bias Tees from Theory to Practice

The bias tee is an essential component for applying DC voltage to any component that must also pass RF/microwave signals, most commonly an RF amplifier that requires a DC supply. For narrowband applications, bias tee design and construction are relatively straightforward, provided attention is paid to component self-resonant frequencies (SRFs). For broadband applications, however, bias tee design and construction are nontrivial, and attention to component characteristics is paramount to a successful, high-performance design. In this article, we examine narrowband bias tee design, component SRFs, and how they impact the design, then extend those ideas to broadband bias tees.  We will also compare the electrical and physical performance attributes of different types of broadband bias tee designs including discrete circuits with conical inductors as well as MMICs.
