Samtec and Otava Describe Flexible Antenna-to-Bits Architectures in Upcoming Webinar
"Antenna-to-bits" simplifies describing complex RF signal chains. Yet real-world RF signal chain development is not simple. This is especially true in mmWave and microwave bands. In Samtec's world, that usually covers 18 - 110 GHz frequency ranges. Emerging antenna-to-bits architectures in 5G, Radar, EW, SATCOM, and instrumentation applications necessitate careful design tradeoffs due to the sensitive nature of mmWave bands. RF system designers are challenged to … [Read more...]
Immersion Cooling or Convection? Connectors Exhibit Outstanding Performance In Both Cases
One of Samtec’s many live product demonstrations at OFC 2022 shows high-performance copper and optical cable assemblies performing equally well, whether in immersion cooling or in typical convection environments. Ralph Page, Systems Architect at Samtec, explains the setup and results of this incredibly popular demo. The demo consists of two identical Samtec product demonstration boards. They both incorporate a variety of high-speed interconnect systems, including copper-based Samtec … [Read more...]

The PCOA series utilizes Samtec’s PCI Express®-Over-Fiber FireFly™ Optical Cable Assemblies (PCUO series). Samtec is the only company in the world offering reset functionality and cable present sidebands in this form factor. In HPC and data centers system architectures, common … [Read more...]
Return of the gEEk® spEEk – Popular Webinar Series Continues in 2022
"Do. Or do not. There is no try." - Yoda, Grand Master of the Jedi Order Any self-respecting blog on "gEEks" should refer to Star Wars, right? In any case, the sage wisdom of Yoda continues to influence the Samtec gEEk spEEk team. Like Yoda says, the choice is to "Do". The gEEk® spEEk Signal Integrity Webinar Series returns in 2022. Samtec's gEEk spEEK team and presenters are excited to continue providing these free educational videos to our design and engineering customers. Many SI … [Read more...]
A Student’s Perspective – Technical Marketing
As an undergraduate EE major, I have noticed many of my fellow students focus purely on the technical side of engineering. However, my goal is to understand how business principles influence engineering decisions. My role as a Technical Marketing Engineering (TME) Co-op at Samtec allows me to do just that. Technical Marketing provides an opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge in various areas of engineering. One day I am learning about fiber optics. On another, I am learning about stamping … [Read more...]
