Space flight assemblies offer high shielding, signal integrity
A new line of 5G series Gore Spaceflight Microwave/RF assemblies from W.L. Gore & Associates is optimized for Ka-band uplink and downlink satellite applications. They provide outstanding shielding effectiveness and ensure reliable signal integrity with excellent insertion loss and return loss performance up to 32 GHz. They have been qualified for spaceflight applications in three […]
Microwave cable assemblies offer increased signal speed
Temp-Flex air-dielectric ultra-low-loss flexible microwave coaxial cables from Molex Inc. feature a patented dual monofilament air-enhanced design and helically wrapped shield. They achieve 85% to 88% velocity of propogration (VOP) for increased signal speed. “Meeting requirements for strong signal performances with limited signal loss is a growing challenge in high-frequency applications,” said Jeet Sanyal, engineering […]
DARPA creates hollow-core optical fiber for military use
Although hollow-core optical fiber has been available from overseas providers for years, it has been a goal of DARPA to source it in the U.S., for use in military applications. That is why DARPA teamed with DARPA-funded researchers led by Honeywell International Inc. to develop a novel fiber design that uses a hollow, air-filled core. The […]
Antenna cables allow in-flight wireless connections
Staying connected in-flight is important to business travelers, but to do so, they most often need a wired handset rather than their own devices. To make it easier for travelers to connect, Dassault Aviation will use W. L. Gore & Associates’ Gore Leaky Feeder Antenna for its Falcon 7X jet. The Leaky Feeder Antenna will […]
