Waveguide amplifiers are amplifiers specifically designed to be housed within a waveguide assembly. This provides some intrinsic advantages and trade-offs compared with coaxial connectorized amplifier assemblies or pallet amplifiers. Given that waveguide amplifiers are designed to directly mate with a given waveguide size and type, they are innately banded, as the waveguide has a limited ..

Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is a technology that uses pulses of electromagnetic energy sent into the ground to create reflections from the ground compositions and objects within the ground. These reflections can then be analyzed by software and turned into a plot or map projection so that objects within the ground can be identified or ..

In part 1 of this series we delved into several of the commonly specified electrical performance characteristics for coaxial cable assemblies. This post wraps up the most common parameters: •  Capacitance •  Group Delay •  Velocity of Propagation •  RF Shielding/Leakage •  Maximum Input Power (Power Handling) •  Maximum Voltage/Breakdown Voltage •  Phase Stability (during ..

In the previous post we explored quality testing of coaxial cable assemblies. In this post, we are exploring the electrical performance testing of coaxial cable assemblies. The following is a list of the most common electrical performance parameters given for coaxial cable assemblies. Key Coaxial Assembly Performance Tests • Frequency Range (Cutoff Frequency) • Insertion ..

Coaxial cable assemblies are at the heart of many conductive interconnect solutions from the module level to complete systems. Coaxial cable assemblies are used in a wide array of applications from low-cost connection of consumer equipment to extreme precision and reliability needed in aerospace and satellite communications. From R&D to defense, coaxial cable assemblies are ..
