The electromechanical switches in the Hercules™ series include compact, high-performance models with high reliability and excellent repeatability in the frequency range from DC to 27 GHz.
Hercules switches last at least 10 million cycles - typically up to 15 million cycles - making them ideal for automated test equipment (ATE) and applications where reliability and repeatability are paramount.

RUPPtronik is pleased to announce the exclusive co-operation with Criteria Labs.

Criteria Labs is part of MPG (Microwave Products Group of Dover Corp) and is known for designing and manufacturing components for use in demanding military and space applications.

This also includes the qualification at space level of originally non-space-authorised parts.

The microwave industry lacks a suitable coaxial switch for frequencies above 30 GHz. Commercially available coaxial switches are not powerful enough: they are very lossy at high frequencies and cannot transmit high power levels. To overcome this shortcoming, Sector Microwave Industries has developed a new innovative technology that combines the advantages of coaxial and waveguide switches in a hybrid „cowave“ switch. The cowave switch is capable of handling high power levels and its design allows it to be tuned to a wide band of waveguide frequencies up to 50 GHz.

The innovative aspect of this new switch is that it works without contact. The device utilises a miniature waveguide rotor and waveguide channels that enable the transfer of power within the cowave housing. The switch is compact and miniaturised compared to the use of coaxial-to-waveguide adapters in a typical waveguide switch. The Cowave switch is also modular and can be configured to have different combinations of coaxial and waveguide connections on the inputs and outputs to form DPDT, SPDT and other options. Within the waveguide bandwidth, the switches typically measure 0.5 dB insertion loss, 1.25:1 VSWR and 45 dB isolation....
