An Overview of the Johnson High Frequency SMA End Launch Connectors

From broadband MMIC power amplifiers to global positioning antennas and more, the Johnson® High Frequency SMA End Launch connectors are designed to provide an economical alternative to similar high-frequency connector designs. Created to transition microwave energy from coaxial to planar transmission line structures, these connectors offer a unique solution for engineers working on circuit designs within thin high-frequency board substrates.

High Frequency SMA End Launch Connectors For Microwave PC Board Substrates

The Johnson® Patented High Frequency End Launch connectors are used to transition microwave energy from coaxial to planar transmission line structures. These patented connectors provide a unique solution for microwave engineers who fabricate circuit designs on very thin high frequency board substrates. The in-line connector design minimizes reflections as compared to a right-angle (perpendicular) pc mount transition.



Applications for these connectors include:

--  Cellular Linear Power Amplifiers
--  Broadband MMIC Power Amplifiers
--  Microwave Filters, Mixers and Combiners
--  Wireless Infrastructure Antennas
--  DBS Low-Noise Block Down Converters
--  Remote Sensing and Metering
--  Global Positioning Satellite Antennas
--  Phased Array Antennas
--  Radar Systems
--  High Speed Routers and Switches
--  Automated Test Equipment
--  RF Identification Tags
