Radiall offers a superior range of product solutions for the Test and Measurement Industry.

 

RF Switches , Cables Assemblies and Coaxial Connector product solutions are designed to meet stringent high frequency and repeatability requirements in a wide range of applications. These high performance switches and interconnect products offer exceptional quality and accuracy for use in the test market.

ATE AND TEST BENCHES

Automatic test equipment is a computer-controlled test system that can automatically perform measurements and quickly evaluate test results. ATEs are widely used for testing RF subsystems in avionics, wireless communications and military applications such as radars. Radiall is a leading supplier of high-reliability RF and microwave switches for ATE applications. The range includes ultra-low loss cable assemblies and precision adapters for test bench needs.

High performance modular switches

The Radiall Modular System for Electromechanical Switches (RAMSES) up to 67 GHz is a patented concept that enables the production of coaxial microwave switches with a typical life of 10 million cycles without any loss of contact resistance reliability over time. In addition, its unique modular construction enables us to offer a very wide range of products at a competitive price and delivery time. More information

 

USB coaxial switches

In order to support a market where technology is evolving rapidly and high-speed data is required, Radiall has developed SPnT switches up to 40 GHz controlled by a USB interface for quick installation and easy use. They offer excellent RF performance and reliability of up to 5 million cycles. More information

 

TestPro Cable Assemblies

Rather than offering standard cables with reinforced jackets and cosmetic changes, at Radiall we design TestPro cables and connectors from end to end to meet high performance requirements and address customer concerns when performing RF measurements. The TestPro range is the perfect solution for Test & Measurement applications where high precision quality, high flexibility, and phase and bending loss stability are required. More information

 

Adapters and test probes

Adapters are used to make reliable transitions from one connector interface to another. They are often used for testing and measurement, between connectors mounted on equipment and devices under test. Adapters are available in series and between series. Versions with a sliding interface instead of a screw-on interface are also available, which saves a lot of time. More information

“Over the past two decades, AnaPico has continually advanced key performance metrics of analog signal sources. We are delighted to introduce this latest series of instruments, completing our portfolio of analog signal sources,” commented Dr. Jakub Kucera , CEO of AnaPico AG.”

AnaPico AG is proud to announce the debut of the APLC and APHSP series of high-performance analog signal generators. Together with the previously introduced APSIN and APULN series, AnaPico now offers a wide range of signal generators tailored to meet various performance needs, allowing engineers to choose the optimal instrument with the best performance-price ratio.

The APLC and APHSP series cover frequency ranges up to 54 GHz and 51 GHz, respectively, with output power greater than 15 dBm at the high frequency end. Both series support all analog modulation schemes. When compared to similar offerings on the market, the APLC and APHSP stand out with the following unique performance characteristics:

• Lower phase noise: With phase noise levels reaching -97 dBc/Hz (APLC and APHSP) at 100 Hz, and -130 dBc/Hz (APLC) and -139 dBc/Hz (APHSP) at 20 kHz from 10 GHz, both instruments have the lowest phase noise among competitors on the market.
• Faster Frequency Switching: Like our other signal sources, the APLC and APHSP achieve switching times greater than 15 μs and 5 μs, respectively, allowing for fast frequency sweeping.
• High signal purity: Harmonics, subharmonics and spurious signals are minimized, reaching levels as low as -60 dBc and -70 dBc, respectively.
• Multi-channel models with strong phase coherence: A single 19″ 2-HU module can accommodate up to 4 independent channels, with multiple modules synchronizable in a phase-coherent manner.

These high-performance signal generators are poised to unlock numerous applications, including wireless communications (MIMO and beamforming), radar and electronic warfare (phased array radars and electronic countermeasures), quantum computing research, and various industrial, medical and metrological test and measurement (T&M) requirements.

ANTONICS and VIANOVA modernize New York buses

The project will equip more than 5,000 coaches and city buses with an innovative antenna that will enable a dynamic infotainment system for passengers.

“The heart of this technology is a dual-channel GNSS interface, which was necessary for the high requirements of the project,” explains Josef Kreidl, Managing Director of VIANOVA Technologies. The reason: New York is a concrete jungle characterized by skyscrapers and high-rise buildings, making it difficult to accommodate buses. Equipped with dual-channel GNSS, it is now possible to determine the location of buses with an accuracy of almost a centimeter at any time.

How do OSAT suppliers produce highly reliable electronics for extreme temperature applications?

Not all OSAT providers are the same

Many semiconductor suppliers and electronics companies work with third-party semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) partners to manufacture specialized devices for specific industries. But not all OSAT companies are the same. When you need to provide control and monitoring devices for the most demanding high-temperature applications, you should choose an OSAT partner that can consistently deliver highly reliable hybrid products for the harshest environments.

Some of these challenging applications include power and control modules located near engines in aircraft, or sensors used in the oil and gas sector to monitor drilling operations. In all these applications, high reliability is the main requirement. Not all OSAT vendors can offer the hermetic hybrid electronics necessary for such high-performance applications.
