Bit Error Test & Arbitrary Waveform Generation

NRZ and PAM Pattern Generators (BPG)

DB Solution BPG instruments support a vast number of speeds, signal types and channel configurations. By extending the binary generators with our remote heads the data rate, the number of levels or both is increased.

Arbitrary Waveform Generators (AWG)

DB Solution is offering a cost effective solution housed in a small and light weight chassis (the SHF 19120 C) and a solution based on our BPG-DAC combination. For PAM signals, it is faster than any other AWG instrument as it samples only one single time per each bit. Thus the baud rate of the resulting PAM signal is as fast as the sample rate of the system.

A RF Bias Tee is a passive electronic component to inject DC (direct current) to a RF transmission line, while simultaneously allowing the passage of RF signals. Due to our air line construction, all SHF bias tees provide resonance-free transmission over the whole specified operating frequency range.

Diplexers

Simplified, a RF Diplexer is a Bias-Tee with a certain bandwidth in the low frequency path. Therefore, it can be used to combine or separate a low frequency (LF) and a high frequency (HF) signal. The main function of a diplexer is to allow the simultaneous transmission or reception of two RF signals over a single transmission line or antenna while ensuring isolation between different frequency bands.

Linear Equalization Filters

A Linear Equalization Filter can be used to offset signal distortion e.g., resulting from bandwidth limitations. This compensation is achieved through a linearly decreasing insertion loss up to the “Nyquist-Frequency,” counteracting an increase in insertion loss along the signal transmission path, such as in an RF cable. The SHF EQ-Series features a fixed “Nyquist-Frequency” and a fixed “Filter Peaking Value,” rendering these components passive, compact, lightweight, and cost-effective. If a more flexible filter is required, we would kindly like to guide your attention to the active filters in our RF & Microwave Modules Product Section.

RF Flexible Cables

Coaxial RF Adapters

For several years, we collaborate with our Japanese partner, KMCO. Our clients can leverage KMCO’s exceptional proficiency in crafting RF connectors when utilizing our RF adapters. The broad product selection encompasses all coaxial connector interfaces ranging from 18 GHz to 145 GHz of bandwidth.

All in- and between series adapters with 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, 1.35 mm, 1.85 mm (V), 2.40 mm, 2.92 mm (K), 3.50 mm as well as SMPM (Mini-SMP or GPPO™) can be configured at the link below.

Flexible RF Cables

Totoku’s coaxial TCF cable assembly series demonstrates outstanding flexibility while retaining phase stability across varying temperatures and bending conditions. The remarkably low attenuation is achieved through the utilization of silver-plated copper and E-PTFE with a low dielectric constant. A wide array of options, including precise phase matching (< 1 ps), right-angle connectors, and armoring, are at your disposal.

These cables support all coaxial connector interfaces up to 145 GHz. Custom lengths are available for all cables, catering to the specific requirements of each customer.

Semi-rigid RF Cables

Engineered for frequencies up to 110 GHz our semi-rigid cables are a manually bendable and retain the pre-bent shape until intentionally reshaped. The assemblies listed in the product configurator offer customizable lengths and shapes, making them the optimal solution for large-scale applications and system prototyping. Each cable assembly undergoes precise manufacturing, ensuring excellent physical length accuracy (phase-matched cables are available upon request).

Semi-flexible RF Cables

Compared to other types of coaxial cables (refer to the sections above), the semi-flexible types exhibit the ability to accommodate the smallest bending radius. They require less force for bending compared to its semi-rigid counterparts, making them easily installable in confined spaces through hand shaping at customer’s site. KMCO’s semi-flexible cable assemblies are engineered for frequencies up to 110 GHz, specifically designed for broad-spectrum measurements and system applications. Customization options, including precision phase matching, are also available for all cables, which can be tailored to any customer-specified length.
