Hermetic Ceramic Leadless SMT Substrates and Packages
Remtec designs and manufactures cost effective hermetic ceramic leadless SMT substrates and packages for RF and microwave components as well LEADLESS-HERMETIC-CERAMIC-SMT_2-(1)as multichip modules for direct PCB mount. An SMT package built with PCTF® (Plated Copper on Thick film) Technology includes three essential features: copper metallization, copper-plated solid plugged hermetic via holes, and PCTF wraparounds (castellations). Copper metallization is quite suitable for RF signal transmission and also creates an excellent heat spreading effect beneath a semiconductor die.

Virtual Power Meter and Sensor
LadyBug Technologies’ latest Virtual Power Meter V4.5 delivers a broad range of RF measurement solutions. The VPM is an ideal user interface for displaying time domain scope-like profiles of the pulse modulated waveform. When used with LadyBug’s Pulse Profiling Sensors, the software delivers clear, concise pulse details. The Pulse zoom feature includes gates and markers that provide accurate measurement of selected details.
Measurements such as Peak, Pulse, Average Power, Droop and Crest Factor, along with statistical information such as CDF, PDF, and CCDF are provided with full scaling control. These advanced features, combined with LadyBug’s patented no-zero no-cal make an ideal solution for the Microwave lab.

Times Microwave Systems Introduces
The New Generation of Micro Coaxial Cables
WALLINGFORD, CT — Times Microwave Systems’ new PhaseTrack® 047 is a phase stable, highly flexible, micro coaxial cable. Designed for DC to 70 GHz frequency ranges, this cable meets the size and performance needs of Spaceflight, Health Care, 5G and Telecom, Test and Measurement, and many other “in-the-box" applications.
The smaller scale PT-047 is an ideal choice for dense or clustered cable configurations with high flexure requirements. It is a flexible alternative to the 047 Semi-Rigid and demonstrates superior phase stability over temperature.
This cable utilizes Times Microwave Systems’ proprietary TF4® dielectric material, eliminating the problematic non-linear phase performance of PTFE through 15-25ºC and need for time-consuming extra recalibration steps or software-based phase corrections. Designed with the same diameter of the standard Semi-Rigid 047, it pairs perfectly with popular connector options:
- 2.92 mm
- 2.40 mm
- SMA
- SMP
- TLMP
