mmWave Block Converter
Spectrum Control introduced a new standard product to its RF+ System in Package (SiP) platform. The SCRS-00-1001 RF+ SiP down-converts wideband mmWave signals between 18 to 40 GHz into standard 2 to 18 GHz bands for direct sampling and processing. This first standard SiP expands Spectrum Control’s RF+ SiP platform that delivers unrivaled miniaturization of integrated microwave assemblies (IMAs) and was designed, tuned and tested inside the company’s new RF+ Digital development pipeline, which reduces the typical IMA productization timeline by 75 percent.

CABLES & CONNECTORS
Micro RF Connector
Hirose has developed a micro RF connector that features a low profile of only 1.2 mm when mated. Offering design flexibility, the space-saving K.FL2 Series connector is available in two versions: an RF cable mating type and an FPC-to-board mating type. Both versions support high density mounting to further save valuable PCB real estate. Compatible with pick-and-place mounting, the K.FL2 Series connector is commonly used in consumer applications, including laptop computers, smartphones, tablets, VR/AR glasses, routers and more.
