Samtec presented several product demonstrations at IMS 2024, including 90 GHz test and measurement systems, new orange Nitrowave™ phase- and amplitude-stable coaxial cable, and mmWave RF connector systems up to 110 GHz. We also showcased a leading-edge 5G mm wave FR2 phased array antenna module (PAAM) demonstration platform. The demo incorporates a Fujikura PAAM; a fully integrated module consisting of an antenna array, beamforming ICs, a frequency conversion IC, and filters. The array … [Read more...]
AI Embedded Solutions
Modern computing technology bears little resemblance to the machines of a generation ago. The growth of artificial intelligence means that modern computer equipment is far smaller than ever before, whilst offering a huge leap in processing power. This has enabled designers to create some remarkable devices. Single board computers have been with us for some time. The amazing success of products like the Raspberry Pi and Arduino show that there is an enormous appetite for small, single-board … [Read more...]
How to Improve Signal Integrity for 224 Gbps Test Systems (Part 1)
Samtec has been analyzing launch design optimization techniques to improve signal integrity in high frequency test applications for many years, and continues to build upon initial findings for 224 Gbps test systems. In this blog, Part 1 of the series "How to Improve Signal Integrity for 224 Gbps Test Systems," we'll be examining a few key principles for improving signal integrity from the test instrument to the device under test (DUT). These principles are outlined in Samtec's recent published … [Read more...]
Samtec and Digikey Sponsor Upcoming Webinar on Ultra Micro Connectors in Portable Applications
Smart phones, smart watches, and earbuds. All are portable. That may sound like the everyday portable accessories of a college student or a young professional. However, portable consumer electronics are everywhere. Even Aunt Agnes and Uncle Mick seem to be wearing them. There is no doubt the mobile internet tsunami (I know that's an old term) revolutionized the way we all communicate, recreate, and work on a daily basis. Portable consumer devices have several key features: small form … [Read more...]
New Coax Cable Achieves Excellent Performance While Subject to Dynamic Flexing
Many factors come into play when selecting coax cable for mm wave applications. Four important attributes include ruggedness, flexibility, frequency range, and signal quality. This live product demonstration from IMS 2024 shows how Samtec's new Nitrowave™ coax cable excels at all four attributes. Nitrowave is Samtec's new, phase- and amplitude-stable coaxial cable. You can easily recognize Nitrowave cable because of its distinctive Samtec orange jacket. Nitrowave cable offers … [Read more...]
Real-Time mm Wave Data Link Demonstration
One of Samtec's many live product demonstrations at IMS 2024 showcased our variety of mm wave solutions. It included our compression mount board connectors in both vertical and edge launch designs, new Nitrowave™ coaxial cable technology, Analog over Array™ connector solutions, glass core technology, and flexible waveguide technology. There's a lot going on, and in this video, Samtec's J.R. Bonnefoy walks us through the demo, the equipment, and the performance. A waveform … [Read more...]
Ultra Micro Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Connectors for Reliable, 56 Gbps PAM4 Data Transfer
The need for printed circuit board (PCB) connectors to have increased mechanical reliability combined with high-speed performance to 56 Gbps PAM4 in an ultra micro form factor continues to gain traction in extremely rugged data applications. A few examples include industrial IOT, robotics, drones, and military and aerospace. However, with proliferating advancements in the automotive industry, the need for reliable high-performance ultra micro interconnects for automotive has escalated. … [Read more...]
Making Connections in Automotive Systems
Automotive designers know that inside-the-vehicle systems have stringent quality and reliability requirements, thanks in large part to environmental conditions and the long lifetime of a typical car. As a result, many look for a “PPAP” (pronounced P-PAP; Production Part Approval Process) designation on products they select for their automotive system designs. PPAP is an automotive industry quality standard with a fairly complex submission process, and it aims to verify a component’s … [Read more...]
New Flexible Stacking Guide & The Modern Pentathlon
The 2024 Olympics are almost here and the summer games include gymnastics, swimming, cycling, tennis, and hockey among other familiar sports… and something called Modern Pentathlon. I’d honestly never heard of this sport before, and clearly missed the boat since it’s been a part of the Modern Olympics program since 1912. The Modern Pentathlon is a show of flexibility both in the athletes’ performance across five disciplines (fencing, swimming, showjumping, shooting and running), as well as … [Read more...]
Meet Your New Product Group Pages on Samtec.com
In the last post where I detailed our new Solution Blocks pages we talked about how each Samtec Solution Block aims to solve a specific need. In this post, we'll dive a little deeper into how our Product Group pages are laid out. We won't go into every single page, because most are laid out similarly, but we'll still take a good peek at one of them. What Are The Product Groups? First, let's go over some terminology. For us, a Product Group is like a sub-category of a larger segment. For … [Read more...]
