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…
K-Band IMUX Isolators
TRAK supplies a large number of K-Band IMUX isolators and circulators for space applications. Many of them are featured here. The image above illustrates the TRAK WR51 low loss waveguide circulator. This is used to form the iMUX manifold structure assembly along with the Companies’ solid coaxial K-band isolators used to buffer and isolate each…
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…
