Multi-year Contract with General Atomics to Enhance the Lynx® Radar

Smiths Interconnect announces a six-year contract to deliver a highly integrated multi-channel subsystem to support General Atomics Aeronautical Systems’ Lynx® Multi-Mode Radar in ground and maritime missions.

Smiths Interconnect confirms superior performance of its PCB connectors

The KA Series has gained its reputation for reliability under a variety of extreme environmental conditions, supporting high current rating, low contact resistance and minimal insertion and extraction forces while resisting high shock and vibration environment

Miniature Coaxial Isolators and Circulators

A coaxial circulator is a passive, non-reciprocal three-port device that allows microwave or radio-frequency signal to exit through the port directly after the one it entered. An isolator is a two-port device that transmits microwave or radio frequency power in one direction only, while the other direction is blocked. Isolators can be considered as a special case of circulators and are made by suitably terminating one port of the circulator ports.

Overcome Challenges in Embedded Optical Interconnects Design

The above article has outlined the advantages and challenges of using fiber optical interconnects. To use fiber optic cables, the electrical signals need to be converted to light signals using fiber optic transceivers. While there are many challenges to embedded fiber optics design, the benefits are substantial. The guidelines and design check list provided will help developers select the best solutions for their needs.
