by Kevin Hietpas, Senior Product Manager, Pasternack Now that 5G deployments are on a roll, the wireless industry is working on implementing 3GPP Release 16 and working through the details […]
Waveguide Horn Antennas
These waveguide horn antennas provide frequency coverage from 1.7 to 40 GHz and a VSWR of less than 1.3.1. The antennas are available with beamwidths from 11 to 55.2 degrees […]
Step Attenuators to 18 GHz
This series of step attenuators are designed for use in applications requiring precise signal control. They have a VSWR of 1.4:1, insertion loss of 1 dB, and attenuation accuracy of […]
High-power Switches
These switches are designed for high reliability in test-and-measurement applications and include models with hot switching for passing back and forth between components without disrupting device performance. They have power […]
Key Standards and Requirements for MIL-SPEC and Hi-Rel Coaxial Cable Assemblies
by Pasternack The failure of a coaxial cable assembly during operation can be costly, and not just monetarily. The cost of failure could also amount to loss of life, complete […]
Detangling DoD’s Cable and Connector Standards
by Pasternack Standards are essential requirements for any industry as they attempt to eliminate the chaos that would ensue when there are no defined performance and construction guidelines for manufacturers […]
The Gunn Diode Oscillator Lives On…and Prospers
by Pasternack For most designers, GaAs, GaN, and other semiconductor technologies represent the future of both commercial and defense applications, while the Gunn diode is a relic best suited for […]
CubeSats: An Emerging Market for the Microwave Industry
by Pasternack Spacecraft in low, mid, and high orbits provide a diverse array of services from TV and radio broadcast to terrestrial and maritime communications, remote sensing, and navigation and […]
VNA Measurement Methodologies for Non-Ideal Test Fixtures
by Pasternack The characterization of high-speed test fixtures can either be accomplished via a probe station or through more standard RF test equipment such as a VNA through a microstrip […]
