Spectrum Analyzer Extension Modules
OML can extend the frequency range of your existing spectrum analyzer to millimeter wave frequencies with our single diode unbalanced harmonic mixers. Harmonic mixers are available for the waveguide bands between 18 and 325 GHz. These frequency extension modules are compatible with most spectrum analyzers that offer optional external mixer access. By substituting the harmonic mixer for the existing microwave input, you can expand your spectrum analyzer frequency coverage for millimeter wave measurements.

QFN Socket Design
Ironwood Electronics has recently introduced a new QFN socket design using high performance elastomer capable of 60+ GHz, very low inductance for ATE applications. The GTP-QFN-1001 socket is designed for 5.9x5.9 mm package size and operates at bandwidths up to 60+ GHz with less than 1dB of insertion loss. The contact resistance is typically 20 milliohms per pin. The socket is mounted on the target PCB with no soldering, and uses very small real estate allowing capacitors/resistors to be placed close by.
