NEWS Jan 16, 2012 - The new MITEQ model SYS2H1324N01X, Microwave Doubler, is ideally suited for local oscillator drive into wideband microwave mixers. This doubler utilizes three internally switchable bands; 13.9 to 16.9, 16.9 to 20.5, and 20.5 to 24.9 GHz. Internal high rejection filters allow for 60 dBc suppression of input related harmonics with respect to the output utilizing the potential of a high dynamic range mixer. The 13 dBm minimum output power is sufficient for driving most microwave mixers. This model also incorporates an internal voltage sequencing circuit to prevent damage from loss of negative voltage or improper sequencing.
Dec 28, 2011 - Airbus selects the LOR-220 for Final Assembly Lines in Toulouse
The LOR-220, made by Luciol, will be used especially in Final Assembly Lines of Airbus, to enable faster and more detailed tests of the optical fiber links. As the number of optical links increases in new airplanes, so is the need for suitable Test & Measurement equipment. The fact that Airbus has selected the LOR-220 is an encouraging sign for future applications in the civil aviation business, both for airlines and Maintenance and Repair Organisations. See the news from 16 September below for more information about LOR-220.
Dec 14, 2011 - Model AMF-6F-17702200-50-17P has been added to the MITEQ family of Ka-Band, single bias, coaxial line amplifiers. This LNA has over 35 dB of gain from 17.7 GHz to 22.0 GHz, in a housing that is only 0.72” long and 0.75” wide without the field replaceable K-connectors. Gain flatness is a maximum of 3.0 dB peak-to-peak, though typical is less than 2.0 dB. The AMF-6F-17702200-50-17P has a maximum noise figure of 5.0 dB in the full band, though the typical value is less than 3 dB. This unit has a P1dB minimum of +17 dBm and output IP3 of typically +25 dBm.
Nov 22, 2011 - Teledyne Relays introduces the first ever hermetically sealed LoopBack relay. The LoopBack relay (LB363/GLB363) combines the technology of two Teledyne RF300 Series relays and eliminates the need for external PCB traces in loop-back test applications. This innovation results in superior signal integrity and RF performance, while taking minimal board space. The relay is designed for digital signaling applications with excellent signal integrity up to 12 Gbps data rates. Additionally the relay has the low loss high frequency performance associated with the RF300 Series. The relay construction provides two internal paths: Through and AC Bypass. While the through path provides a loop-back path across high performance contact material the AC Bypass path adds a coupling capacitor across each loop-back path. The typical loop-back ATE application uses the Device Under Test (DUT) to test itself. In this method, the transmitter from the DUT is connected, through a loop back path, to the receiver of the DUT. The relay has a footprint of just 20.45mm x 9.52mm. with a choice of through hole or surface mount capability. For a data sheet check out our Downloads page.
Nov 4, 2011 - The introduction of the new Diamond Crocodile Fusion Alberino 1,25mm in 2009, based on the bi-adhesive concept, registered a certain success, since it facilitates the assembly process and allows to avoid the use of glue on the field, which in turn reduces the installation time.
The new Fusion Alberino further guarantees the same optical and mechanical performances as the
old Fusion Alberino, which however requires the use of glue during assembly. Thanks to the above mentioned advantages Diamond have decided a phase-out of the old Fusion Alberino within December 2012.
Oct 20, 2011 - Diamond releases the new Mini-AVIM Universal Flange for Multi-purpose Adapter System (MAS). The compact size and stable performance of the Diamond Mini-AVIM connector has led to the development of a new MAS Universal Flange based on this connector system. This new flange is
available alongside the existing FC version. The data sheet and P/N list have been updated to reflect the addition of this new flange to the Diamond product lineup. For MAS technical details and features see our Downloads page.
Sep 30, 2011 - Miteq desktop amplifier with digitally controlled variable gain. Frequency range of 0.1 to 40 GHz. Front panel digitally controlled. 15 dB gain control in 1 dB step. 100V to 240V AC operation. CE approved. For some more information download the specification from our Downloads page.
Sep 16, 2011 - Luciol introduces new options for the LOR product line. It now has an optional Optical Power Meter (OPM). The OPM is calibrated at several wavelengths: 670, 850, 1310 , 1550 and 1610 nm, and is suitable for both SMF and MMF. It can measure absolute power or use a reference as zero. It can also perform long term analysis, to monitor power fluctuations. The OPM is connected to a second optical port on the LOR front panel.
In addition, the LOR-220 with MMF at 670nm (for applications in commercial aviation) includes a Visual Fault Locator (VFL) option. The VFL generates a blinking red light, on the same output at the OTDR itself. Seeing this light at the end of the assembly under test, verifies the continuity of the assembly. In addition, it suppresses the possibility of errors, when checking cable assemblies with multiple fibers (you can be sure that you observe the fiber you wanted to analyse). The main advantage of this feature is that, once you see the blinking light at the end, you can immediately switch to the OTDR test, without exchanging connectors.
