Signal Microwave’s line of higher-performance edge launch connectors is designed for the thinner substrates used today. 1.15:1 max connector VSWR through 40 GHz (23 dB return loss).

This is a 70 GHz blind mate interconnect system utilizing the 1.85 mm interface as an alternative to current SMPM solutions. 

Signal Microwave has launched a new line of higher performance edge launch connectors designed for the thinner substrates used today.

These 2.92 mm Edge Launch Connectors are designed to optimize connector to board transitions. The 2.92mm interface is mode free through 40 GHz. Test boards with microstrip and GCPWG are available to verify product performance. These boards are made with an FR-4 stiffener and only the top ground of the board is used for the board transition.

These 1.00 mm Edge Launch Connectors are designed to optimize connector to board transitions. The 1.00 mm interface is mode free through 110 GHz. Test boards with microstrip and GCPWG are available to verify product performance. These boards are made with an FR-4 stiffener and only the top ground of the board is used for the board transition.

These connectors can be mounted anywhere on the board, not just the edge. Utilizes a vertical launch transition to the board with a screw-on mounting compression fit. The interface is 2.92 mm and operates mode free through 40 GHz. The compression fit does not require soldering for consistent Signal Integrity performance.

Highest performance Field Replaceable Connectors on the market. These field replaceable connectors have a 2.92 mm interface and a rear socket to accept a 12 mil (.012 inch) pin. Standard 2 and 4 hole flange sizes available. The 2.92 mm interface operates mode free through 40 GHz.

Signal Microwave and GigaProbes have developed a line of 40 and 70 GHz test boards. Created as a demonstration tool, they are also used for validating VNA calibration and operation. This helps ensure accurate measurements to 40 or 70 Ghz and they are compatible with all VNA manufactures.
