50+GHz Coax Relay For 5G
Teledyne Relays has added to its range of 50+GHz coaxial switches, adding transfer switching, terminated, and normally-open models.
The new parts are:
CCR-38U – SP4T or SP6T dc-52GHz normally-open
CCS-37U – DPDT dc-52GHz latching transfer switch
CCRT-50U – terminated SPDT dc-53GHz ‘failsafe‘ (non-latching) or latching versions are available.
CCT-38U – terminated SP4T or SP6T dc-52GHz normally-open
CCT-39U – terminated SP4T or SP6T, dc-52GHz latching
‘Terminated’ = common un-terminated, while unused ports terminated with 50Ω when not connected to common.
In many cases there are variants with built-in TTL-compatible drivers, and, or, separate indicator contacts for feedback. characteristics, for example operating temperature, can vary between variants.
In general, they are designed for minimum size compatible with 2.4mm connector spacing.
“The family offers -55 to +85°C operational temperature range and up to five million actuations. our new 52 and 53GHz models are rugged enough to withstand 500 Gs of shock,” according to the company.
Applications are foreseen in 5G automated testing, military radar testing, electronic warfare, ground-based radios, telecommunications, space, medical and satellite communications.
