RF PIC Evaluation with RFconnect

At a Glance

  • A compact RF PIC assembly for fast and convenient prototype development up to 40 GHz

Technical Background

RFconnect, Fraunhofer HHI’s fiber coupled RF PIC assembly, states a compatible expansion of the already established DC multisource PIConnect. The thermally controllable assembly with 8 RF & optical ports and 42 DC ports facilitates the connection of RF measurement equipment.

Features 

  • 8 RF I/O ports
  • 8 optical I/O ports
  • 42 DC I/O ports
  • Therm. controllable
  • Lid cover available

Applications

  • controlling PICs for telecom applications, signal processing, signal generation and more
  • enabling fast prototype development
  • replacing expensive lab equipment
  • overcoming manual electrical probing and optical coupling
  • standardizing measurements
