TDK product highlights include:

RF Components for sub6GHz 5G Applications
With the increase of new bands and applications expected for 5G technology, TDK has developed new RF components for sub6GHz 5G applications. Some of these new n77, n78 and n79 bands are located in the 3.3GHz to 5GHz spectrum and require new component solutions. TDK has developed baluns, couplers, diplexers and filtering solutions for the new bands, in both LTCC and thin film versions. These new components can be used for applications ranging from NB IoT FEMs to base stations.

Circulators/Isolators for Infrastructure Application
TDK has a wide portfolio of circulators and isolators for use in cellular bands. New circulators and isolators are currently being developed with the newest items for use in the 3.5GHz and 5GHz bands. The circulators and isolators are available in a wide range of sizes to support variations in outputs, band frequencies, shape, terminal structure and power levels from 2.5W to 150W. Their main applications include base stations, repeaters, small cell and power amplifier systems.

New Auto-Grade RF Components
TDK is adding a new AEC-Q200 series of RF components, ZDE Series, which will provide high performance and reliability for safety critical applications and extreme operating environments. The series supports LTE, WLAN, Bluetooth, V2X, DSRC and other technologies. Applications include multi-connected cars, ADAS, telematics, infotainment and smart keys.

RF Components for cellular / WLAN / Bluetooth
TDK’s ever-growing portfolio of RF components includes filters, diplexers, baluns, couplers and antennas. These components are used in a wide range of products for cellular, LTE, WLAN or Bluetooth applications. TDK has more than 20 years of experience with RF components in this space, and each component has unique requirements, developed in close relations with chipset vendors.
