Learn the basics of how to use RF over fiber. You have many options.
Single-port VNA covers frequencies to 14 GHz
The R140B from Copper Mountain Technologies lets you characterize antennas and cables without the need for an additional test cable.
Data centers get a boost from connectors and cables
Demands for bandwidth-intensive, data-driven services are fueling a rise in compute, data storage, and networking capabilities. These rises put pressure on connectors and cable to deliver data at higher speeds with better signals and less heat.
1.35 mm RF connectors send DC-to-90-GHz signals
A family of 1.35 mm board and cable connectors and cable assemblies from Samtec move mmWave signals.
Dipole antennas connect outdoor equipment
A set of nine antennas from Linx Technologies cover 5G, LTE, Wi-Fi (through 6E), and other frequency bands.
5G signals push a need for new materials
5G’s RF signals and data rates bring development of new liquid crystal polymer materials for connectors, and PCBs to minimize signal losses
Optical module carries signals to the board’s edge
The Lightpass-EOB 100G from I-Pex shortens PCB traces, thus improving BER.
Bundled cable assemblies reduce cables in base-station installations
The TMQ4 and TMQ5 cable assemblies from Times Microwave bundle four or five individual 5G connections into one cable run. The TMQ4 and TMQ5 bundled cable assemblies for 5G combine industry-standard four and five conductor MQ4 and MQ5 connectors with Times Microwave’s high-end coaxial cables. The cables reduce the number of cable runs from a…
Small coax connector handles 5G frequencies
The C.Fl connector pair from Hirose Electric rises just 1 mm from a board and covers DC to 30 GHz.
mmWave connector reaches 25 GHz
The 5G25 connector from Molex covers IF frequencies for mmWave applications.
