Samtec open-pin-field arrays like SEARAY™ provide designers the ability to simultaneously run differential pairs, single-ended signals, and power through the same board-to-board interconnect. This design approach allows maximum pin-selection, routing, and grounding flexibility. Additionally, Samtec open-pin-field solutions can be used to route differential or single-ended analog or RF signaling in addition to digital differential pairs, single-ended signals, and power in the same connector. … [Read more...]
Samtec and Avnet Target 5G Antennas to Bits Solutions
mmWave. Massive MIMO. Beamforming. Full duplex. Connectors. Connectors? Yes, connectors. Really! This may seem like a new take on the old childhood game of "One of These Things". However, all of these technologies (and others) are directly related to developing next-generation 5g antennas and systems. System designers have been challenged with bringing disparate technologies together for wireless. However, system integration and industry partnerships are now making 5G development … [Read more...]
