HASCO Components’ Post

At HASCO, our LittleBend Cables are improving RF, Microwave, and Millimeter-Wave system integrations, particularly in cutting-edge 5G and 6G MIMO (Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output) technologies. Designed to excel in challenging environments like antenna OTA (Over-The-Air) testing, switch and attenuator matrixes, and various in-box and board-to-board connections, these cables are revered for their precision and reliability. A key feature is their exceptional flexibility with a minimum Bend Radius of 0.20” (5mm), allowing navigation through confined spaces without compromising signal integrity, essential for high-frequency applications. Our innovative connector design, with a compact structure and impressive retention force exceeding 90N, eliminates the need for right-angle connectors. This not only reduces the height post-bending but also cuts costs and saves space by removing the necessity for expensive adapters, making LittleBend Cables an optimal choice for internal connections in space-constrained settings.

When it comes to RF and precision equipment switching, finding a solution that offers high linearity, low insertion loss, and wide RF bandwidth can be a challenge. The ADGM1144, a wideband, single-pole, four-throw (SP4T) switch from Analog Devices, Inc., effectively meets these requirements. This switch is manufactured using the company’s microelectromechanical system (MEMS) switch technology. The result is a switch with a small form factor that functions down to 0 Hz/DC, making it a highly desirable choice for diverse RF and precision equipment switching needs. 👉 https://buff.ly/3Q0ZxxZ

Rat-Race Coupler: The rat-race coupler, also known as a ring hybrid, plays a crucial role in RF and microwave systems. Its ability to function as both a signal combiner/splitter, makes it a highly versatile component in modern communication networks. Power Combining: (A): In-phase EM signals input to Ports 1 and 3 are combined at the Sum port (Port 2), (B): while Out-of-phase EM signals input to Ports 1 and 3 are combined at the difference port (Port 4). Power Splitting: (C): As an electromagnetic (EM) signal is input to the Sum port (Port 2), it splits equally between Ports 1 and 3. (D): In contrast, the EM signal input to the Difference port (Port 4) splits between Ports 1 and 3 with a 180-degree phase difference. ❓ Have you ever worked with rat-race couplers❓ Share your experiences and insights! 🎥 Curious to learn more about designing your own rat-race coupler?

The pSemi, A Murata Company, PE188200 is an 8-channel, 26.5–29.5 GHz, 3.15V and 1.8V dual-supply voltage beamforming front-end for 5G applications. Two independently controllable #RF chains of four channels support four dual-polarity antennas or eight single-polarity #antennas. Time division duplex (TDD) mode operation switches power amplifier/low noise amplifier (PA/LNA) branches connected to each #antenna port. Integrated splitter/combiners and a phase and amplitude beamformer for each channel complete each chain. Find out more: https://ow.ly/skNz50Phnu0 #5Gtechnology

#SKY85791-11 The SKY85791-11 is a highly integrated, 5 GHz front-end module (FEM) incorporating a 5 GHz single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) transmit/receive (T/R) switch, a 5 GHz low-noise amplifier (LNA) with bypass, and a 5 GHz power amplifier (PA) intended for mobile/portable 802.11n/ac applications and systems. An enable/disable function is included that allows power savings during off mode. An integrated logarithmic power detector with 20 dB of dynamic range is included to provide closed-loop power control within the system when operating in either high power mode or power save mode. The device is provided in a compact, 16-pin, 2.3 x 2.3 x 0.33 mm Quad Flat No-Lead (QFN) package. A functional block diagram is shown in Figure 1.

Check out this new article on Microwaves & RF by my Samtec Inc colleague Zak Speraw! It explains how compression-mount connectors are used in RF and microwave systems and why alignment is so important, and then examines the impact of misalignment on performance. Zak's work demonstrates that a visual indicator of proper alignment can greatly speed up assembly, alignment, and yield in designs using small compression-mount connectors. https://lnkd.in/gTMZwDVf
