The new Johnson® High Frequency End Launch Connectors are used to transition microwave signals from coaxial to planar transmission line structures. These patent pending connectors provide a unique solution for microwave engineers who fabricate circuit designs on very thin high frequency board substrates. The in-line connector design minimizes reflections as compared to a right-angle (perpendicular) pc mount transition. This connector is an economical alternative to other high frequency designs in the industry, as it is a self contained assembly. The new distinctive through hole mounting technique allows the use of one connector with varying circuit board thicknesses. The connectors are also available in a traditional straddle mount end launch design, which was pioneered by Johnson® over 20 years ago. The Johnson® High Frequency End Launch Connector is designed to attach directly to a high frequency coplanar waveguide (CPW) circuit board transmission line, although other lines such as microstrip can be used with good results. These connectors can be used on high frequency pc board substrate layers as thin as 8 mils, and operate at frequencies up to 26.5 GHz (see chart).
