High frequency cables target 5G network analysers
The need for phase stability is considered vital across R&D and quality functions responsible for the development and maintenance of high-frequency networks that are at the core of increasingly sophisticated systems. Cables have a reputation as a weak link in test equipment such as Vector Network Analysers (VNAs) where instances of flexure and movement have an impact on the accuracy of results.
The MWX051 and MWX061 interconnects support frequencies up to 67 GHz to meet the higher frequency demands of 5G networks. Available with ruggedized NMD connector assemblies, the VNA interconnects have been created to withstand the most rigorous of testing environments for periods of approximately three and a half years as a result of the high tensile strength, low dielectric constant and high flex life that comes from Junkosha’s expanded-PTFE wrapping technology.
“The demand for mmWave frequencies is no longer the preserve of military and research applications”, said Joe Rowan, President and CEO of USA and Europe for Junkosha. “5G and high-speed data applications are now driving innovation. We are at the forefront of the development of high frequency interconnects. Our expertise and pedigree in expanded-PTFE tape wrapping has enabled us to deliver a flexible phase stable cable that endures.”
The cables were launched at the IEEE MTT International Microwave Symposium (IMS) in the US last week.
