Anaren Launches 1:1 High Common-Mode Rejection Ratio Baluns Targeted at
Frequency Conversion Applications
Anaren's new family of ultra-miniature, printed multilayer baluns are designed
for the 200-600MHz frequency converter market, where tight phase and amplitude
balance is required for increased SFDR performance

SYRACUSE, N.Y., June 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Anaren, Inc.
(Nasdaq: ANEN) officially announced today that it has just introduced a family
of multilayer 1:1 50 Ohm high common-mode rejection ratio baluns designed
specifically to meet the performance requirements of modern A to D and D to A
converters. Offering more stability and repeatable electrical performance,
Anaren's inverted balun structure offers an attractive alternative to
wire-wound baluns traditionally used in interfacing to the differential inputs
of high speed frequency converters.

"This is the first significant innovation in the balun/transformer space
in some time," said Mark Bowyer, Corporate Business Development Manager for
Anaren's Consumer Components Group (CCG). "Both the form factor of this balun
and its performance characteristics allow for significant improvements in
layout and implementation methodology used to achieve this function in
frequency converters. For the design engineer, it means a reduced component
count, lower cost, and increased performance ... a win/win/win."
Bowyer added: "that the new family of softboard components was driven by
input from the field. These baluns have been developed with input from four of
the world's largest ADC IC manufacturers who were keenly interested in making
sure their function and performance meet both current and future expectations
in this market segment."
Anaren's consumer-electronics size RF passive components 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.
