Fairview Microwave Announces New Lines of RF Rotary Joints

July 10, 2014 – Allen, TX – Fairview Microwave, Inc. a preeminent supplier of on-demand microwave and RF products, announces their new line of single-channel/single-axis and single-channel/multi-axis RF Rotary Joints.

Fairview Microwave’s RF rotary joints are needed wherever RF signals have to be transmitted between stationary and moving parts of a system, commonly used in commercial and military radar, land-mobile-radio communications and anti-missile defense applications. These rotary joints boast acompact design, excellent VSWR, low insertion loss, and minimal variation of RF performance during rotation.  The operating frequency ranges from 0 to 18 GHz depending on the model.

Fairview’s latest release includes four single-channel / single-axis rotary joints which provide the perfect solution for antenna characterization applications such as measuring antenna patterns. This line of single-channel / single-axis rotary joints includes two SMA female units, one PCB to SMA female unit and one 3-hole flange to SMA female unit.  We also carry three single-channel / multi-axis rotary joints, commonly referred to as “swivels”. This line includes SMA male to female, SMA male to male and SMA female to female configurations. These single-channel/multi-axis rotary joints are targeted to applications where linear and rotational movement may cause undue stress and strain on the coaxial cables and the connectors they mate to.    

“Fairview’s RF rotary joints are an invaluable accessory for any antenna test range where cables can easily become twisted and damaged due to continual rotation”, says Greg Arnold, Technical Sales Manager at Fairview Microwave. “Our new rotary joints and multi-axis ‘swivels’ can be used to accommodate linear and rotational motion while a system is under test.” 

Fairview Microwave’s family of RF rotary joints is available from stock and can ship the same-day ordered. For additional details on the expanded line of rotary joints or company information, please visit http://www.fairviewmicrowave.com/rf-products/rf-rotary-joints.html.

Designing Robust 5G Power Amplifiers for the Real World

Sponsored by Keysight

Simulating 5G power amplifier (PA) designs at the component and system levels with authentic modulation and high-fidelity behavioral models increases predictability, lowers risk, and shrinks schedules. Simulation software enables multi-technology layout and multi-domain analysis, evaluating the impacts of 5G PA design choices while delivering accurate results in a single virtual workspace. This application note delves into how authentic modulation enhances predictability and performance in 5G millimeter-wave systems.
