End launch microwave connector Bel Fuse 142-0761-891 suitable for frequencies up to 26.5 GHz in RF systems
Product Overview
The Johnson Patent Pending High Frequency End Launch connectors are designed to transition microwave energy from coaxial to planar transmission line structures, offering a unique solution for microwave engineers working with thin, high-frequency board substrates. These in-line connectors minimize reflections compared to right-angle transitions. They are ideal for applications such as cellular linear power amplifiers, broadband MMIC power amplifiers, microwave filters, mixers, combiners, wireless infrastructure antennas, DBS low-noise block down converters, remote sensing and metering, GPS antennas, phased array antennas, radar systems, high-speed routers and switches, automated test equipment, and RF identification tags. The connectors attach directly to coplanar waveguide (CPW) transmission lines, and can be used on substrates as thin as 8 mils, operating at frequencies up to 26.5 GHz. They provide an economical alternative to other high-frequency designs, featuring a self-contained design without external mounting hardware.
