"We're excited to have Anaren's balun play a role with our latest transmitter devices," said Thomas Embla Bonnerud, Nordic's Product Manager for Ultra Low Power Wireless. "Anaren's part offers an excellent combination of improved performance, reduced size, and a simpler and more elegant implementation than our current discrete designs — and that's what our sports-device customers were looking for." Bonnerud added that many of Nordic's customers in this emerging space have a limited RF technology base, "so any implementation that reduces the chances of errors through easy layout and limited external components will decrease their time to market.
Anaren's "0404" balun is part of the passive component supplier's fast- expanding family of consumer-electronics sized softboard solutions, which includes 0404, 0603, and 0805 baluns, couplers, power dividers, and RF crossovers. Like other standard components in the company's line, the baluns are backed by the Anaren-exclusive 100% On-Spec(TM) guarantee and B-There(TM) service commitment that ensures on-time delivery. Samples are available within 24 hours for qualified prototype work. And complete specifications are available on the associated Anaren datasheet, available on-line at www.anaren.com.
