A family of 1.35 mm board and cable connectors and cable assemblies from Samtec move mmWave signals.
Customize private 5G networks for application requirements
5G private networks show potential for a wide range of diverse applications. Engineers can implement features to address the requirements of markets such as manufacturing and non-terrestrial networks.
12 GHz: Claims and counterclaims take hold
FCC records are full of comments, replies, reports, and a slide deck citing contrasting positions on 12 GHz and the feasibility of it becoming part of 5G frequency allocations. Proponents of using 12 GHz for 5G have filed an updated report with the FCC claiming that 5G can share the 12.2 GHz to 12.7 GHz…
Radio-wave ranging sensor meets global broadband 60-GHz standard
Socionext America introduced the SC1240 Series radio-wave ranging sensors that use the 60GHz band with a built-in signal processing circuit for detecting the position and movement of a person with maximum accuracy. Sample shipments are scheduled for Q2 2022, and mass production in Q1 2023. The SC1240 series is a radio-wave ranging sensor that complies with […]
Better UI, larger display for high-performance oscilloscopes
The new generation of R&S RTP high-performance oscilloscopes combine high-class signal integrity measurements with the fastest possible acquisition for real-time analysis. The new models come with a bigger and brighter 13.3-in full HD touchscreen and a fully redesigned front panel. Users can take advantage of the crisp 16:9 screen format, which displays waveforms while allowing […]
Is there such a thing as a catenary antenna?
A conic section is formed by the intersection of a plane that cuts though a cone, usually with the circle at the top and the hyperbola at the bottom. Between them lie the ellipse and the parabola. The parabola has distinctive properties when rotated in space to make a concave surface. The parabola can be […]
MMCX Micro-coax cable assemblies increase flexibility and design options
Amphenol RF has expanded its cable assembly portfolio with MMCX cable assemblies designed on ultra-flexible 0.81 mm micro‐coax cable. These 50 ohm assemblies are currently available in a single configuration — MMCX right-angle plug to AMC4 right-angle plug – with additional assemblies being released shortly. These compact and flexible assemblies are well-suited to make connections […]
