mmWave applications are all the rage. Why? Simply put, the 5G tidal wave is coming. Also, ADAS systems use 24 GHz for SRR applications and 77 GHz for LRR applications. Obviously, the world needs mmWave tech! Traditional mmWave technology spans the 30 - 300 GHz frequency range. Samtec defines mmWave technology as 18 - 110 GHz across our Precision RF portfolio of full cable assemblies, cable connectors, and board-level interconnects. High frequencies challenge designers like never before. … [Read more...]
