Right Angle Adapters
The UG-27 C/U is a right angle adapter that features solderless construction. The solder-free construction offers dependability equal to a straight plug while achieving 90° bends. The solder-free adapters also address RoHS compliancy issues by reducing lead content. The 50 ohm UG-27 C/Us perform efficiently up to 11 GHz and are rated for operating voltages of 1000 V RMS. The right angle adapters have a maximum dielectric withstanding voltage of 2000 V RMS at 60 Hz at sea level. They are designed for a temperature range of -65° to +165°C and meet interface standards in accordance with MIL-STD-348. VSWR is 1.15 from DC to 6 GHz, and 1.35 from 6 to 11 GHz.

60 GHz Converter
The FC1001V/00 broadband converter is a versatile building block for 60 GHz applications. It combines an up-converter and a down-converter in a single unit. Both operate independently and can thus be used for both frequency multiplexed and time multiplexed applications. The converter has the advantage of using external LO sources, with the user having full control of phase noise and frequency selection. Frequency multipliers (x8) are integrated in both the up-converter and the down-converter. The LO injection is done at 7 GHz with +0 dBm power. Other features include: 57 to 63 GHz RF bandwidth, > 1 GHz IF bandwidth and +10 dBm typical output power. Applications include point to point or multipoint radio, EW, secure communication and measurement.

Surface-mount Feedthrus
This mini surface-mount 50 ohm feedthru is based on Thunderline's successful initial SMT Bell Pin offering. This new product has been designed to emulate the existing design, but will be one third less in size and will be built with a smaller pin. The use of a smaller pin in its new mini surface-mount package will enable Thunderline customers to use this part in both J-band and K-band frequency ranges. Based on initial expectations Thunderline anticipates this part will perform to limits somewhere between 22 and 25 GHz.

GPS Antenna Module
The A1035-H antenna module, with a footprint of 16.5 by 30.5 mm2, is based on the company's A1084 GPS receiver. It is designed around the SiRFstar III GPS chip and is optimized for use with passive antennas. With the on-module antenna tuned to the receiver, a high level of sensitivity is achieved. Furthermore, the A1035-H has been especially designed for an extremely low current draw (an average of 85 mW in tracking mode), fulfilling the latest requirements for more integration and cost-saving solutions.
