Possibly more so now than any time in the past, there are new microwave and millimeter-wave technologies with features and functions that are both higher performance and more diverse than previous technologies. These new technologies are the result of emerging...
Wi-Fi 7 is the upcoming, latest generation of Wi-Fi, and is promising to offer more extreme single-user throughput performance, but also a host of other features to enhance Wi-Fi’s utility in a variety of scenarios. Increased competition with cellular technologies and...
The coaxial cable is among the most commonly used transmission lines with optimal broadband performance for applications well into the W-band. The use cases for coaxial cable assemblies are numerous and varied in nature. This whitepaper dives into some of the basics...
Frequency upconversion/downconversion and frequency multiplication/division is a critical feature of many RF circuits. The basis for superheterodyne communications is the generation of a baseband or intermediate frequency (IF) signal and the use of upconversion to...
Calibration kits are an essential tool in ensuring vector network analyzer (VNA) measurements are accurate and consistent. Without calibration before testing, the algorithms used in modern VNAs would not be able to sufficiently account for the variations in...
MIL-STD-1553B is the second revision of the MIL-STD-1553 standard developed by the US Department of Defense (DoD) that defines the technical characteristics and functions of a serial data bus originally meant for use in military avionics. Since the inception of the...
5G is the latest cellular communication standard that is currently being deployed. 5G covers a much wider frequency range than previous cellular generations, and most other wireless standards. Hence, hardware for 5G can be extremely diversified. 5G frequency range 1...
Internet-of-Things (IoT) sensor systems are increasingly being deployed in public transit, in-building, campuses, industrial complexes, and virtually all other environments where occupancy, security, and other critical data can be acquired by electronic sensors. Where...
The growing demand for data driven analysis for shipping and logistics is driving up the need for modern vehicle tracking, telematics, navigation systems, fleet management, and eventually, autonomous vehicles. All of these systems are intrinsically reliant on global...
There are many adjectives and specific ways of describing coaxial connectors, cable, adapters, and assemblies. Of the multitude of ways to describe coaxial adapters, one less common to hear is engineering-grade. There are many examples of general purpose, precision,...
