To minimize assembly complexity and maximize system performance it is desirable to integrate high frequency, high performance RF ICs (>60 GHz) onto mixed signal PCBAs which include many other functional blocks. These functional blocks may be RF amplifiers, mixers, switches, attenuators, filters, PLLs, but will also include power supplies, sensors, control circuitry, and digital circuitry.
Demonstrating the scale manufacturing capabilities of Fortify’s RF manufacturingplatform, this white paper explores the performance repeatability of 62 mm (2.44”)diameter Luneburg lenses produced by Fortify in a production environment. Boresightgain measurement of the lenses demonstrated a standard deviation of 0.06 dB acrossthe manufacturing batch.
The design/construction of automated test equipment can significantly burden OEMs' engineering resources. This white paper discusses the critical challenges faced in RF and microwave tests and details three diverse build options and their corresponding pros and cons. It will help you understand the RF/Microwave strategy to ensure performance, scalability, and repeatability.
As many aerospace and defense and satellite communication applications face new requirements to perform increasingly complex tasks with unwavering precision and reliability, the wider bandwidths and faster speeds available in the millimeter wave (mmWave) portion of the RF spectrum are becoming increasingly attractive.
This article explores the intricacies of improving time domain analysis in Vector Network Analyzers (VNAs) through the utilization of the Inverse Chirp-Z Transform. Initially, it discusses the limitations encountered when employing conventional methods such as the Inverse Discrete Fourier Transform in Python for time domain conversion, highlighting issues of resolution and accuracy.
In this whitepaper, explore the typical implementation of link emulators for low-Earth orbit (LEO) and other satellite paths, including trans-lunar orbits. Readers will also discover how 5G non-terrestrial network (NTN) modeling and emerging hardware-in-the-loop impairment modeling is driving the next generation of link emulators, such as the Maury Microwave ACE9600 Advanced Channel Emulator of the dBm product line. Lastly, this whitepaper will present a high-level overview of current industry 5G partnerships and broadband data networks.
