Engineers working within the D band are increasingly looking for better ways to solve the issue of reflected waves.

“When you get above 110 GHz, it’s sort of uncharted territory,” explains Ed Loewenstein, Chief Architect at NI. “Your connectivity gets strange, and cables no longer work well. So, most things are done in waveguides.”

Signal reflections, also known as mismatches, are undesirable waves, or ripples, that can attenuate power output, distort the digital information on the carrier, and, in extreme cases, damage internal components.

Our millimeter wave isolators were mentioned as a possible solution in a recent article published by eeDesignIt. Read the full story here:
