TRAK has developed a compact iso adapter for LNA applications featuring a broadband waveguide isolator available with either a WR28 or WR34 aperture. The coaxial port is designed to accept a probe or GTM seal pin. Performance can be optimized over 27-31 GHz using a series of tuning elements built into the coaxial transition. The…
X-Band Coaxial Isolators
X-Band Coaxial Isolators formed the bulk of the recent delivery of flight model devices destined for use aboard a large space based Radar program. The X-Band Coaxial Isolators operate beyond the normal 8.0-12.0 GHz range making these amongst the broadest fractional bandwidth, solid body X-Band Coaxial Isolators TRAK has delivered to date and marks the completion of first of several scheduled…

TRAK has secured orders for a the development of products for the MTG program….
Solar Probe Plus WR34 Circulator
TRAK has successfully delivered 40W WR34, Ka Band Circulators and matching remote terminations to Johns Hopkins, Applied Physics laboratories, (JHAPL) for the Solar Probe Plus mission. Solar Probe Plus is man’s first Mission to the Nearest Star, where it will enter the Sun’s atmosphere (or corona) and come closer to the Sun than any previous spacecraft where…
On this day, 14th August…
On this day, 14th August, in 1996 ITALSAT F2 was successfully comissioned in orbit and is remembered by TRAK as the first payload to include flight qualified ferrite Isolators designed and supplied by TRAK in Dundee. The second spacecraft in the series, F2 was, like F1, designed to provide communications capacity over Italy and allowed the…
GEO-KOMPSAT-2 High Power Isolators
TRAK is pleased to announce it has been awarded a contract to design, qualify and deliver space qualified high power WR34 isolators for the GEO-KOMPSAT-2 (GK2, Geostationary Earth Orbit Korea Multi-Purpose Satellite) payloads. GK2 is a South Korean government programme to develop and operate two geostationary civilian satellites, GK2A and GK2B, for missions that include…
TRAK to Supply Isolators to JHAPL
TRAK has been awarded a contract to deliver high power Ka-band Isolators that will be used on the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (JHAPL) Solar Probe Plus program. This ambitious mission due to launch in 2018 will study the streams of charged particles the Sun hurls into space from an unprecedented vantage point: inside the Sun’s…
