Power Dividers and Directional Couplers

Cinch Connectivity Solutions launched 40 GHz power dividers and directional couplers designed to meet the higher frequency requirements in telecommunications and 5G applications. The Midwest Microwave 40 GHz power dividers and directional couplers are small, lightweight and ruggedly built. They cover a wide bandwidth of 6 to 40 GHz with low insertion loss and low VSWR. The Midwest Microwave power dividers use the Wilkinson design for the lowest insertion loss and the highest isolation between output ports.

Switch Cycler

Ducommun’s switch cycler is designed to automate switch cycling and allow users to “plug-and-play” versus having to design a custom instrument themselves. The CAT-001 allows users to perform a “burn-in” function for switches that have sat in inventory for long periods of time. The CAT-001 also features an optional strip chart counter to record data for each switch, GUI remote control for automation and a keypad for local control.

2 Channel Attenuator Assembly

JFW model 50BA-043-63 SMA is a two channel attenuator assembly that covers 100 MHz to 18 GHz. Each RF channel consists of a solid-state programmable attenuator with attenuation ranging 0 to 63 dB in 0.5 dB increments. The attenuators can be controlled individually or as a group by Ethernet, RS-232 (GUI provided) or manually via momentary toggle switches on the front panel.

6.2 to 32 GHz Elliptical Highpass SMT Filter

Lexatys’ new elliptical highpass filter delivers extremely low loss without having limited selectivity. Thanks to high Q gold plated structures implementing an elliptical circuit design the typical loss is less than 2.5 dB. The filter has a low profile at 0.36 x 0.21 x 0.65 in. RF connections can be made with silver epoxy or solder on the plated contact surfaces. Mounting supports SMT assembly on microstrip structures.
