RF Switches are integral to many RF systems with different signal paths and functions, as well as RF test & measurement. RF Manual Switches differ from automated switches and switches with electrical actuation in that they require manual switch adjustment. In the...
Waveguides are one of the primary methods of efficiently carrying electromagnetic energy and RF signals from one location to another. Waveguides in particular, are extremely efficient at carrying high power signals with low loss over a considerable length. This is why...
With the increasing number of millimeter-wave applications, there is a growing demand for coaxial connectors that can be mounted directly on a PCB, or other laminates, and mounted on the outside of a housing and still connect through to a PCB or internal lead/coaxial...
You may have noticed there are specific variations of RF interconnect with the prefix of low PIM. In this post we will answer the question “why do I need low PIM adapters or low PIM connectors?” With increased spectrum congestion, the opportunity for passive...
Fixed attenuators are useful for a variety of signal conditioning needs in RF systems. Fixed RF attenuators can be used to provide high precision and known attenuation of incoming signals that may exceed the input requirements of devices like sensitive receivers or...
Micro Miniature Coaxial (MMCX) connectors are a type of blind-mate or snap-on style coaxial interface based on the MCX connector type. MMCX Cable Assemblies along with MCX cable assemblies are often used as an easily replaceable cable assembly between antennas and...
Standard gain horn waveguide antennas are used as precision test apparatus and high gain/directional antennas for a wide range of applications from satellite communications, test and measurement, radar, backhaul, and many others. The high directionality and gain...
Standard Gain Horn Waveguide Antennas are used throughout the RF industry as precise high gain antennas for test/measurement, radar, sensing, and communication. This type of gain horn is a four-sided pyramidal structure that is precisely designed to match with a...
It is often necessary when connecting diverse systems and components to use a 90 degree coax adapter to mate between connections with differing coaxial connector standards. Like with all RF coaxial applications, RF coaxial adapters including a 90 degree coax adapter...
RF Coaxial Attenuators, such as Coaxial Fixed Attenuators and Coaxial Variable Attenuators, are used in a wide variety of RF applications to control signal levels, improve impedance matching, and enhance the accuracy of signal generator outputs in test setups. The...
