“The D-band is the new E-band” read the shirts worn by Virginia Diodes (VDI) employees at a recent microwave symposium. Covering 60-90 GHz, the E-band is a well-established high-capacity solution for a number of mmWave applications. Advancements in test and measurement equipment are allowing millimeter wave component manufacturers and systems designers to ramp up production [...]

It is not just telecom that will require the added bandwidth available within the D-band. Industries like military & defense, remote sensing and security, atmospheric science, radio astronomy, and automotive are all racing to unlock these higher frequencies. Read an article from EEDesignIt that discusses how our millimeter wave components are helping system designers move [...]

David Porterfield, CEO of Micro Harmonics Corporation, wrote a paper for IEEE on a new broadband hybrid circulator that has been developed for use at millimeter-wave (MMW) frequencies. The hybrid circulator comprises a Faraday rotator and an orthomode transducer (OMT) which work together to produce the circulator function. These patent-pending designs can cover 24% fractional [...]

Micro Harmonics Corporation has announced the release of its hybrid circulators in three new millimeter waveguide bands: WR-12 (70-86 GHz), WR-10 (85-104 GHz), and WR-8 (107-133 GHz). These patent-pending hybrid circulators can cover 24% fractional bandwidths with low insertion loss and more than 20 dB of isolation. Their wideband performance is verified from the comprehensive test [...]

Micro Harmonics was featured in a recent article in U.S. Tech (print and online) discussing the issues with moving up into mmWave frequencies (click here to download). “At the D-band, you are looking at 100 Gigabits per second (Gbps). That is a ton of bandwidth,” says Jeffrey Hesler, Ph.D., CTO of Virginia Diodes, Inc. (VDI). [...]

Low Insertion Loss, High Power Handling, and Test Data: Why They Matter

2024-11-12T13:45:07-05:00

Low Insertion Loss, High Power Handling, and Test Data: Why They Matter Millimeter-wave (MMW) systems often employ isolators to suppress standing waves and achieve optimal performance. Commercial isolators provide good isolation, typically more than 20 dB across full waveguide bands at lower frequencies (under about 85 GHz), and they also tend to have low port [...]
