0.8 mm Vertical Launch Connector

In the relentless and ever-demanding world of high frequency interconnect products, the realm beyond 110 GHz stands out. Currently, the 0.8 mm connector reigns supreme at 145 GHz. Over five years ago, Southwest Microwave pioneered the 1.0 mm vertical launch connector. Building on that milestone, they are now developing a new 0.8 mm vertical launch connector for micro-strip. Although all elements are still in the preliminary prototyping phase, the outlook is promising and progress is moving swiftly.

Ruggedized, Phase and Magnitude Stable RF Cables

DuraWave™ PS43 was developed by Swift Bridge Technologies to exceed OEM performance through 43.5 GHz. These ruggedized, phase and magnitude stable RF cables are well-suited for on-site field testing, manufacturing environments and the testing laboratory. Insertion losses at 43.5 GHz are typically 30 to 40 percent lower than the OEM’s test port cables with VSWR < 1.25 (< -18 dB S11 and S22). These assemblies are available on DigiKey with precision 2.92 mm and 2.4 mm connectors in various gender combinations.
