More Product Information


Southwest Microwave’s high performance End Launch connectors are designed to provide low VSWR, mode free wideband response to 110 GHz for single-layer and multi-layer printed circuit boards where the high frequency signal is on the top layer. Available in SMA (27 GHz), 2.92 mm (K) (40 GHz), 2.40 mm (50 GHz), 1.85 mm (V) (67 GHz) and 1.0 mm (W) (110 GHz).
Male and female options along with narrow body and bulkhead feed-through. Unique clamping mechanism accommodates board thickness up to .300” (7.62 mm). Robust, reusable and repairable. Multiple launch configurations provide the best possible match to circuit layout. Works on microstrip and grounded coplanar waveguide (GCPW) designs. Signal-layer microstrip and GCPW test boards available. Soldering is optional.
Design Assistance:
- Printed circuit board layout and connector part number recommendation
- 3D models for mechanical layout
- HFSS models (version 18.0 or newer) for EM simulations upon request and availability

Built to Southwest Microwave’s rigorous performance and quality standards, the 1.0mm connectors are rugged and durable, featuring a 360° raised grounding ring and operational temperature rating of -55°C to +165°C. 1.0mm connectors provide mode-free operation through 110 GHz, offering well-matched impedance, excellent repeatability, and the industry’s lowest VSWR (1.2:1), insertion loss (0.6 dB), and RF leakage (≤ -100 dB).

- Combine up to 12 fail-safe building blocks, dual SPDT, SP4T, SP6T, or transfer switch in a compact 1U footprint
- Front “pluggable” relays facilitate field maintenance
- Embedded web interface provides interactive utility to monitor and control relays from anywhere in the world
- Flexible API supports IVI and Linux development environments minimizing software investment
- LXI Trigger Event implementation provides seamless test synchronization with external devices
- Store up to 128 relay state configurations for quick recall, including an automatic power up state
- Define exclude lists to avoid setting an undesirable configuration
- Relay odometer tracks closures to facilitate preventative maintenance


Noise measurements allow the determination of the four Noise Parameters of a device (transistor). There are four Noise Parameters which fully describe the noise behaviour of an active or passive device at a given frequency.


Our 2 Series cable assembly showcases excellent phase stability against bending, developed with microwave/mmWave measurement environments in mind.
Its flexibility means low repulsion, reducing the load on the measured object
