In the realm of high-frequency signal transmission, the choice of connectors is crucial for maintaining signal integrity and overall system performance. One connector that stands out for applications up to 40 GHz is the 2.92mm connector, commonly known as the K connector. This blog post delves into what the 2.92mm connector is, where it’s used, ..

The main application for High Reliability (Hi-Rel) RF/microwave amplifiers is for military, defense, aerospace, and other critical applications where device reliability is otherwise mission critical. In essence, a Hi-Rel Amplifier is just an amplifier that meets one or more military standards for reliability. In order to ensure device and system reliability, the US military developed ..

In today’s world of fast-paced communication, micro wave antennas play a crucial role in microwave communication systems. These antennas are essential for transmitting and receiving electromagnetic waves at microwave frequencies, typically ranging from 1 GHz to 100 GHz. In this blog post, we’ll dive into what micro wave antennas are, how they work, and explore ..

For many RF test applications in the higher frequencies, such as millimeter-waves, or for high power use cases, rectangular waveguides are the interconnect solution of choice. In a similar wave to short-open-load-through (SOLT) calibration standards used for vector network analyzer (VNA) calibration with coaxial interconnect, VNA using waveguide interconnect requires waveguide calibration standards. Even with ..
