Fairview Microwave’s new double-ridge waveguide components span 28 models in straight sections, bends and twist configurations. These transmission line components cover wider frequency bands, deliver superior RF performance and offer lower cut-off frequencies compared to […]
Waveguide-to-coax adapters use European IEC standard flanges
A new line of euro-style flange, waveguide-to-coax adapters are candidates for radar, satellite and wireless communications, and test instrumentation applications. Fairview Microwave’s new waveguide-to-coax adapters cover a wide range of waveguide sizes that include European IEC standard flanges (including UBR square cover, UDR and PDR types), WR-22 to WR-430, right-angle and end-launch coaxial connector options, […]
Positive-slope equalizers cover 500 MHz to 40 GHz range
A new line of positive slope equalizers exhibit a fixed attenuation response that increases linearly over broadband frequencies. These equalizers are ideal in compensating for gain variation and optimizing performance in systems where excessive losses may occur at the low end of the frequency band. This broadband performance makes them ideal for a variety of […]
Bi-phase modulators encode RF carriers via 2PSK
A new line of bi-phase modulators covere broad octave frequency bands from 0.5 to 40 GHz. These models use TTL logic to phase-modulate data onto an RF carrier signal using two-phase shift keying (2PSK). Useful applications include military and commercial communications systems, microwave radio, radar, high-data-rate test & measurement, serial data transmission and wireless base […]
VNA test cables sport flex life exceeding 100,000 cycles
A new series of highly flexible VNA test cables are designed to address a range of demanding test and lab applications. Fairview Microwave’s new high-frequency VNA test cables display excellent electrical properties such as exceptional phase stability of ±6° at 50 GHz and ±8° at 70 GHz, as well as VSWR of 1.3:1 at 50 […]
RF hybrid couplers optimized for wide-band applications
New RF hybrid couplers meet high-frequency component demands. The high-performance hybrid couplers are candidates for RF applications requiring an equal split of input and output ports with 90° or 180° phase shifts while maintaining high isolation between ports. Fairview’s 21 new RF hybrid coupler models feature a coaxial design with SMA and 2.92-mm connectors. They […]
