Traditional RF and microwave prototyping take weeks to months. MicroWave Cells introduces a completely new and innovative concept to build your desired functions, sub-systems, and systems in just hours and days with a fraction of the traditional prototyping cost. Less cost, better efficiencies. RF and Microwave circuit designs have always been a detailed and tedious process, including many cycles of schematics, layout, PCB fabrication, board mechanics, assembly, and testing. MicroWaveCells offers a fast new RF and Microwave circuit design and prototyping concept (patented) by offering many standard single function PCB cells with MicroWaveCells' unique mechanical cells for use as a single function design or a multi-function sub-system or system design. This rapid and dynamic prototyping concept saves a tremendous amount of time and money compared to the traditional RF/Microwave prototyping cycles.
Single Cells
MicroWaveCells initially offers a total of 132 single PCB cells, which support more than 100 different device footprints and 11 basic mechanical cell parts. PCB cells cover more than thousands of the most commonly used off-the-shelf RF/Microwave devices from most of the key RF/Microwave device vendors. Customers can use these cells to build and test each cell function with corresponding single cell mechanics. Each cell has a standard cell dimension with 20x20mm2. Some cells/functions have more than one single cell dimension, such as the synthesizer cell with a 2x3 cell size and VCO with a 1x2 cell size. The single cell supports most of the key RF functions with common footprints. The cell frequency range covers from DC to 40GHz.
MicroWaveCells also introduces a dynamic, single module concept (patented) based on the standard single cell product line. The single mechanical cell is designed to be connected by sidewalls with covers of the customer's choice. By selecting required sidewalls and covers online, customers can easily make their own modules in minutes.
Dynamic Cells
Unlimited possibilities! This single cell can be extended to any dimension and any shape by using the single cell base and single base joint. The half cell base can be added for the side input or output launch.
The following example shows how a block diagram selects cell PCB and corresponding cell mechanics to build your desired system in days. For bias and control convenience, MicroWaveCells also offers a 1x5 DC management cell. The output microwave filter is a customized 1x2 cell size filter.
Array Cells
For the customer's easy integration and low cost consideration, MicroWaveCells also offers a 5x5 array mechanical cell; with the array joint cell, customers can build a very large system in a very short amount of time.
