Coaxial PCB & Panel Connector Applications
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 line. For millimeter-wave applications, such as radar, satellite communication, military/defense, aerospace, and the latest in...
Battling PIM In Base Stations & Other Wireless Communications Infrastructure
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 intermodulation (PIM) distortion to impact the crowded spectrum has only worsened. PIM, which is generated from nonlinearities in passive...
