  • Why Hermetically Seal RF Adapters and how is it done?

    08/11/2022

    RF coaxial adapters are often the difference between expensive options of reordering RF cable assemblies, RF connectors, or even retrofitting RF assemblies with new RF coaxial connectors, and a few seconds of installing a quick fix. Also, RF adapters are useful in protecting/extending the life of the RF ports of expensive to service and replace ..

    The Difference between RF Amplifier Types

    08/04/2022

    At first look, there are many different types of RF amplifiers, and it could be overwhelming to go from the specs you need to narrowing down what RF amplifier type is the best fit. Most RF amplifier types came about from the specification requirements of common transceiver, receiver, transmitter, radar, and modulation circuits and system-level ..

    What is RF ATE (Automated Test Equipment)?

    07/28/2022

    Automated Test Equipment (ATE) are automated systems designed to perform electrical, thermal, and physical testing without the direct interference of a person. Usually ATE systems are employed to speed up testing, perform repetitive tasks, or to enhance the repeatability and consistency of a testing system. Often, an ATE system is designed to do all of ..

    The Wide and Diverse World of RF Antennas

    07/14/2022

    Electromagnetic (EM) Antennas are an essential component for virtually all transmission and reception systems that operate in the RF, microwave, millimeter-wave (mmW), and terahertz (THz) frequency ranges. Another way to look at EM Antennas, is that these antennas can be designed to convert conducted EM signals to radiated EM signals, and vice versa, from kilohertz ..

    Low-PIM, Low-loss, and Phase-Stable Cable Assembly Application Considerations

    06/30/2022

    Coaxial cables are arguably the most common RF/microwave physical interconnect technology. Outside of waveguides and planar interconnect, coaxial cable assemblies are one of the few proven methods of reliably connecting RF/microwave/millimeter-wave networks. Given the diverse range of applications for coaxial cable assemblies, these cables are not one-size-fits-all. There are a variety of different coaxial cable ..

    Bidirectional Amplifier Basics

    06/23/2022

    A Bidirectional Amplifier, or Bi-directional Amplifier (bda), is an active RF device that is widely used in a variety of telecommunication, radar, and other RF sensing applications. Though conceptually a Bidirectional Amplifier performs a relatively simple operation, the internal electronics can be somewhat complex. Moreover, many applications favor certain names and types of Bidirectional Amplifiers, ..

    Assembling an RF Coaxial Cable Assembly

    06/16/2022

        RF coaxial cable assemblies are a ubiquitous form of RF interconnect found in virtually all RF and some analog and high-speed digital systems. The benefits of RF coaxial cabling over other cabling are well known but are only achievable with proper coaxial cable assembly. This blog outlines the general steps and tools needed ..

    Introduction to RF/Microwave Launch Accessories & Field Replaceable Connectors

    06/02/2022

    Many RF/microwave applications use connectorized modules that are hermetically or otherwise sealed to protect sensitive internal electronics from the elements. In some rugged applications, such as military, aerospace, industrial, and telecommunications, the exposed connectors on these modules can become corroded or otherwise damaged during regular use. This is especially true if the external connectors are ..

    More on ISM Bands Around the World

    12/16/2021

    Though not likely the original intent of the creators of the industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) radio frequency bands commonly accepted throughout the world, much of the modern ISM bands usage is now low-power wireless communications. A large portion of Internet-of-Things (IoT) technology is reliant on “unlicensed” but not “unregulated” ISM bands. This is an ..
