COMPONENTS
Taps and Splitters
The DOCSIS 3.1/4.0 standards offer sufficient data rate potential, provided a high-quality coax network is in place. The trick with modern passive components is to push the physical limits as far as possible like the latest developments from AXING do. All components meet the highest demands in terms of surge immunity, shielding, intermodulation resistance and port-to-port decoupling, in addition to the “traditional” RF characteristics such as low through-loss and very good matching/return loss.

SPST Absorptive Switch
Model SKS-2242946035-0303-A1-M is an absorptive SPST switch that controls signals from 220 to 290 GHz. Insertion loss is 6 dB with typical isolation of 35 dB. The RF ports are WR-03 waveguide with UG-387/U-M anti-cocking flanges. The switch accepts a TTL-level control signal and achieves a switching speed of 100 ns. The maximum RF power is +5 dBm. The switch requires positive and negative bias voltages of +1 and -2 V. Dimensions are 1.0 × 1.0 × 0.75 in.

Waveguide Isolators
HASCO introduces a new line of waveguide isolators. These waveguide isolators operate from 26.5 to 140 GHz. The insertion loss in the forward direction is minimized to allow for the full available power from the signal source-isolator combination. Applications are test labs, sub-assemblies, automotive industry and mmWave test systems.

Voltage-Variable Attenuator
Mini-Circuits’ model PVA-453-34+ GaAs MMIC voltage-variable attenuator (VVA) features a pair of attenuators supplied in a surface-mount technology (SMT) package measuring 3.5 × 2.5 mm with frequency range of 10 to 45 GHz. Attenuation is set by independent control voltages from -4 to 0 VDC. The RoHS-compliant VVA boasts typical attenuation ranges of 39.5 dB to 20 GHz, 40.0 dB to 40 GHz and 33.9 dB to 45 GHz and can handle as much as +23 dBm RF input power.

Semi-rigid Cable Assembly
MIcable’s newly designed 50 GHz semi-rigid cable assembly adopts high performance 2.4 mm stainless steel connectors with 086 semi-rigid cable (outer diameter 2.2 mm). It can be bent to any requested shape with reliable and excellent mechanical and electrical performance, the shielding effectiveness of the assembly is less than -120 dB, and the maximum VSWR of the assembly is 1.30:1 at 40 GHz and 1.40:1 at 50 GHz, as well as the maximum cable loss is 5.27 dB/m at 40 GHz and 6.1 dB/m at 50 GHz, respectively. It is well-suited for the internal and external connection of microwave equipment, test instruments and fixtures.
