July, 2020 R&S Debuts 1.35 mm E-Band Coaxial Connector
Columbia, MD — By adding the R&S NRP90TN models to its portfolio of thermal power sensors, Rohde & Schwarz has released, reportedly, the first test and measurement instruments in the market to support the novel, robust 1.35 mm precision coaxial connector. The connector covers frequen-
cies up to 90 GHz and is expected to be included in the next releases of both IEEE and IEC relevant stan- dards. R&S has been a partner in the 1.35 mm E connector development project since its beginning in 2017. An expert group with collective
knowledge of microwave signal transmission initiated the joint proj- ect to develop and implement a new coaxial connector optimized for E- band frequencies. Emerging applica- tions, in particular for automotive radar from 76 to 81 GHz, plus the WiGig extension IEEE 802.1 operat- ing up to 71 GHz, highlighted the need for a new coaxial cable connec- tor suitable for industrial applica-
RoHS
tions at frequencies of up to 90 GHz. The result is the 1.35 mm E con-
nector, with a precise metric fine thread, a reliable pin-gap and an integrated groove for optional push-
E-Band Coaxial Connector.
pull locking. The design was accept- ed in 2019 for the next edition of IEEE 287-2007 for precision coaxial connectors. It was also accepted by the IEC, which will publish it as the
IEC 61169-65. Contact: Rohde & Schwarz USA,

American Microwave Intros Switch Matrix Product Line
Manassas, VA —American Micro wave Corporation (AMC), a designer and manufacturer of DC to 40 GHz solid state control components and subsys- tems, has released a switch matrix product line. The new line comprises single-pole to 65-throw versions, with excellent insertion loss. Base specifications include: fre-
quencies of 5 to 40 GHz; insertion loss of less than 7 dB to 18 GHz and less than 10 dB to 40 GHz; a minimum of 65 dB isolation; less than 500 ns switching speed; VSWR 2:1 input/out- put; and a +5 VDC, 220 mA max, –12 VDC, 45 mA max, power supply. The design is a single-pole, 25-
throw hermetically sealed switch, using a combination of suspended and stripline substrates and a switch control configuration through encod-
ed 5-bit TTL inputs latched by a dual-rail strobe. The design maintains its basic
specifications up to 40 GHz and 65 throws. With a modular design, AMC
can rapidly and cost effectively mod- ify the design for specific ELINT, EW or satellite ground station needs and deliver in 60 to 90 days. AMC has an extensive line of
switch matrices, DVLAs, power div - iders, and attenuators, and is constant- ly evolving the technology to support
its military application customer base. Contact: American Microwave

Radiant Adds New VIP Software to TrueTest
Redmond, WA — Radiant Vision Sys - tems has launched a new software extension for its TrueTest™ automat- ed visual inspection software for photo- metric measurement and analysis. The Vision Inspection Pack (VIP™) soft- ware license extends the photometric measurement capabilities of Radiant’s TrueTest software, adding machine vision-based registration functionality to enable defect detection and precise light and color measurement of illumi- nated icons, text and shapes. Leveraging machine vision soft-
ware functionality, the VIP software license applies TrueTest photometric analyses for luminance (Lv), chro- maticity (CIE xy, u’v’) and other val- ues within the precise registration areas of unique shapes, such as icons, text and other backlit compo- nents. The VIP solution combines the standard measurement capabilities of TrueTest software with defect detection to ensure trained measure- ment regions are free from inclusions or exclusions caused by inaccurate
laser etch or errors in overlays, fil- ters or other substrate layers. In high-throughput inspection
applications, VIP provides an effi- cient solution for rapid registration of multiple symbols and shapes cap- tured within a single measurement image and quickly applies trained registration regions to multiple com- ponents inspected in series. Registra - tion regions can be applied globally (across multiple symbols) to ensure the accuracy of relative symbol loca- tions, sizes, orientations, and aspect ratios. They can also be applied local- ly (symbol by symbol) to dynamically register each symbol for measure- ment and defect detection. VIP auto- matically locates and registers sym- bols in new orientations as compo-
nents move or rotate. Contact: Radiant Vision
