Waveguide Bends
Fairview Microwave’s lines of precision waveguide bends are widely used in applications such as high efficiency RF, microwave and mm-wave transmissions, satellite and military communications, radar, telecom, instrumentation and test benches. In waveguide systems that require a signal to turn or bend 90 degrees, Fairview’s waveguide bends are used to facilitate that bend or turn without degrading the transmission signal. These WG bends operate from 5.85 GHz to 90 GHz across 12 frequency bands and are available in sizes from WR-12 to WR-137. This family of waveguide bends also boast low loss and VSWR as low as 1.08:1 and are available in both E-plane and H-plane configurations. They are constructed using gold plated, oxygen free hard copper (OFHC) or painted copper alloy depending on the model and are also offered with either a UG-style flange per the military standard or a CPR-style flange. Many models are RoHS compliant.

DC Blocks
Coaxial DC Blocks allow the transmission of RF signals while blocking DC signals, usually using a blocking capacitor. We feature SMA DC blocks, 2.92mm DC Blocks, 1.85mm DC Blocks, BNC DC Blocks, TNC DC Blocks, and Type N DC Blocks. DC blocks can block the inner conductor, outer conductor, or both; hence there are "inner" dc blocks, "outer" dc blocks, and "inner/outer" dc blocks. These Coaxial DC Blocks are frequently used in Satellite Systems where a control voltage is passed along with the RF signal, and the coaxial dc block protects equipment. The BNC DC block uses a precision bnc to get to 4ghz. The C0927 SMA DC Block uses dual parallel capacitors to achieve its broad bandwidth, its ideal for EO & NRZ systems.

Coaxial Matrix Switch, DC to 20 GHz
87606B
The Keysight 87606B matrix switch provides the life and reliability required for automated test and measurement, signal monitoring and routing applications. Innovative design and careful process control creates a switch that meets the requirements for highly repeatable switching elements in test instruments and switching interfaces. The switch is designed to operate for more than 10 million cycles and will meet all electrical specifications for at least 5 million cycles. The switch exhibits exceptional insertion loss repeatability. This reduces sources of random errors in the measurement path and improves measurement uncertainty. Switch life is a critical consideration in production test systems, satellite and antenna monitoring systems, and test instrumentation. The longevity of the switch increases system uptime, and lowers the cost of ownership by reducing calibration cycles and switch maintenance.

Services
Besides our product line of perceptual quality testing products, we offer extensive services in the field of QoS testing, where you can immediately benefit from the technology source - the expertise and experience of our developers. This is most often the case for field studies, or during the evaluation of network components, either if the customer's demand for QoS testing is a temporary one, or simly, if no engineering resources are available otherwise. For instance, OPTICOM could provide comprehensive QoS consulting, including not only objective but as well subjective evaluation, like we did during the introduction of a novel digital satellite broadcast service in the U.S. As a major contributor to the ITU standards, OPTICOM can also provide expertise in implemenation and conformance testing of independent implementations. Even if your PESQ implementation works according to specs, you should consider that an independent conformance test seal could be an asset that will leverage the value of your product from a marketing persepective.
