RF Original Solutions

High-frequency and low-frequency RF products that are unique to Samtec. This includes Bulls Eye® for test and measurement, Magnum RF™ multi-port blocks and cable assemblies, Flexible Waveguide for E-band, Ganged and Micro-Mini Systems, 100 Ohm Shielded Twisted Pair Assembly, IsoRate® high-isolation RF, and 75 Ohm or high-vibration MMCX solutions.


Bulls Eye®Bulls Eye® RF High-Performance Test to 90 GHz

Bulls Eye® high-performance test assembly features a high-density space saving design that enables smaller evaluation boards and shorter trace lengths in test and measurement applications. The Bulls Eye® block compression mounts to the board for placement directly adjacent to the SerDes being characterized. The solderless design improves overall cost and is easy to use within a lab setting.

Features
  • 90 GHz, 70 GHz, 50 GHz and 40 GHz test assemblies
  • Compression mounts to the board for placement directly adjacent to the SerDes being characterized
  • Solderless design improves cost
  • Easy to use within a lab setting
  • Microstrip/CPW or Stripline PCB transmission
  • End 2 connection to instrumentation: 1.00 mm, 1.85 mm, 2.40 mm or 2.92 mm
  • High-density, space-saving design
  • Single or double row
  • Test boards available for performance verification
  • RF Group: dedicated RF engineers provide personal support for meeting specific RF challenges
