Microwave/Millimeter Wave interconnects, Part 2: Connectors and cable assemblies
Part 1 of this FAQ look at the coaxial cables used in microwave/millimeter wave interconnects and cable assemblies. But a cable alone is only half a solution; the cable must be terminated with connectors. Often, the completed cable/interconnect assembly is also called a cable, but this is generally not an ambiguous situation (but it may […]

New low-profile EMI/RFI shielding gasket with clip-on mounting provides high attenuation
Tech-Etch has introduced a new low-profile EMI/RFI shielding gasket with part number 125G23C040. The gasket profile has a free height of just .030″ to close very small gaps and is available in any full-finger length up to 16.00″ and all plating finishes. Beryllium copper’s mechanical and electrical properties make it the ideal material for EMI/RFI […]
New laminates target base station antenna apps
Rogers Corporation has introduced two new products: AD300D laminates and IM Series laminates. AD300D fourth generation, commercial microwave and RF laminate material extends the capabilities of the successful AD300 product grade. This ceramic-filled, glass-reinforced, PTFE based material provides the controlled dielectric constant (2.94±0.05), low loss performance (0.0021 at 10GHz), very good passive intermodulation response (-159dBc […]
BGA sockets operate up to 75 GHz with 1 dB insertion loss
A new BGA socket design uses high-performance elastomer capable of 75 GHz while exhibiting very low inductance. It can also handle a wide temperature range. The GT-BGA-2082 socket is designed for 6×6-mm package size and operates at bandwidths up to 75 GHz with less than 1 dB of insertion loss. The socket is designed to […]
