Precision Matters: Understanding 2.4mm and SMPM Loads & Terminations for RF Systems

The 2.4mm connector series is typically acknowledged for being able to perform stably up to 50 GHz and as such, it is a usual element in advanced test and measurement setups. A 2.4mm load / 2.4mm termination presents a very small, accurate, and matched impedance (generally 50 ohms); thus, the RF signals are absorbed completely, and no signal reflections or standing waves are visible in the system.

Precision Matters: Understanding 2.4mm and SMPM Loads & Terminations for RF Systems

The 2.4mm connector series is typically acknowledged for being able to perform stably up to 50 GHz and as such, it is a usual element in advanced test and measurement setups. A 2.4mm load / 2.4mm termination presents a very small, accurate, and matched impedance (generally 50 ohms); thus, the RF signals are absorbed completely, and no signal reflections or standing waves are visible in the system.

These hardware pieces are what the aforementioned machine tools need to be adjustable and accurate – the tools themselves being network analyzers, signal generators, and calibration systems. The 2.4mm loads of GWAVETECH are made by means of gold-plated beryllium copper contacts and stainless-steel bodies, which guarantee both long-term mechanical stability and the highest electrical performance of the whole hardware set.

Low VSWR, compactness, as well as the ability to keep their performance over large frequency ranges without changes in the value are features of the 2.4mm termination, making it possible for experimenters to get results that are both accurate and repeatable.

SMPM Load / SMPM Termination – Small but Strong in Compact Design

The smallness of the area is the main reason why designers opt for SMPM connectors, while at the same time, the question of performance is not left up in the air. A 65 GHz operating frequency is what makes the SMPM load / SMPM termination offer excellent signal energy absorption in a very small package.

Miniaturization-orientation, combined with high-performance features of the modules, makes the corresponding sectors, such as aerospace, defense, and high-speed communication, the perfect applications for this work. Replacing or removing the SMPM connector can be done quickly and easily due to its snap-on coupling mechanism; thus, the user does not have to worry about precision or reliability being compromised.

GWAVETECH’s SMPM loadings were made in a way that they feature low reflection and good power handling, and as a result, they may become the perfect dense electronic assemblies and modular test systems.

Reasons to Pick GWAVETECH Loads & Terminations

Quality and precision are always at the forefront of GWAVETECH's mind. Their RF loads, 2.4mm load / 2.4mm termination, and SMPM types, among others, are built to deliver peak performance even under the most challenging conditions.

If you are performing tests on ultra-high-frequency circuits or are in the process of perfecting communication modules, GWAVETECH is the right company for providing you with rugged, high-frequency components that not only conserve but even improve the accuracy, efficiency, and interference-resistance of your ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌systems.
