110 GHz Test Assemblies


Enlarge

The GORE® PHASEFLEX® Microwave/RF Test Assemblies family includes an 110 GHz offering. These 110 GHz ruggedized cable assemblies can be flexed, formed, or repositioned without damage while providing excellent stability with flexure and temperature, while maintaining low insertion loss and VSWR. (see Figures 3 and 4).

These assemblies provide reliable electrical and mechanical performance (see Table 5). Additionally, they achieve excellent VSWR and Insertion Loss performance (See Figure 3 and Figure 4).
