TRAK has completed qualification and entered serial production of a low mass (41g, 1.45 oz.) SMA to WR90 transition designed for commercial space applications. The Silver plated device operates over a 4 GHz BW from 8 to 12 GHz to better than 21dB return loss with an insertion loss of 0.15dB….
S-Band High Power Transitions
TRAK offers a range of full and half height low cost S-Band (WR229) operating over 2.7-3.3 GHz, in line transitions for radar applications. Connector choice is dependent on applied RF power and existing designs are available with N or TNC weather proof interfaces….
2.9mm to WR51 Waveguide Transition
TRAK has completed qualification and entered serial production of a low mass (11g, 0.4oz.) 2.9mm to WR51 transition designed for commercial avionics applications. Meeting IP67 requirements this is intended for airborne satellite communications systems. The device operates over a 5 GHz BW from 17 to 22 GHz to better than 21dB return loss and is…
Coaxial Isolators and Circulators
TRAK has released a brochure detailing the high and low power coaxial isolators and circulators it designs and manufactures. Since the first flight model was delivered to a satellite manufacturer in 1993, TRAK Microwave Limited has delivered over 140,000 flight models to 30 customers based in 15 countries. Over the past 2 decades TRAK’s ferrite…
140W CW WR34 Isolator Reaches Critical Milestone
This week TRAK successfully completed the qualification of a high power K-band isolator operating at 25GHz. The device has successfully passed TVAC testing at 140W forward at a baseplate of +75C and at 70W into a short circuit at a baseplate temperature of +85C while the thermal data gathered from test validated TRAK’s predictions following detailed…
Coaxial Isolators Qualified to 150grms
TRAK has successfully completed a delta qualification to extend the operating envelop of its coaxial solid isolators and circulators operating in assigned bands from 3 to 23 GHz. The new range was introduced almost 3 years ago and was re-qualified to meet the trend of increasingly demanding dynamic and thermal operating conditions. Both devices are now…
TRAK Investment
TRAK has expanded its investment in test equipment with the commissioning of a Rohde & Swartz ZVA67 VNA capable of measuring to 67 GHz with the ability to expand this to 110 GHz if required using frequency extenders. This investment has been made to support the development of products operating to 55 GHz for receiver…
Manufacturing Volume Record
TRAK has recorded its highest volume of delivered space qualified components by supplying over 22,000 circulators and isolators in a single twelve month period. The manufacture of products for 4 large and independent programs has contributed significantly to the total of 22,000 flight models in a 12 months period. Included in the total are 10,000 devices…
