ACS #0006 Application Case Study w w w.ardentconcepts.com The engineer elected to use Ardent’s Right Angle TRTM Multicoax connector as it addressed both of the concerns. The connector allowed the team to pack multiple high speed signals into a high density connector. Characterization of a Cross Point Switch A Characterization Engineer needed an alternative to SMP Connectors for device characterization and design correlation—the device being tested is a Cross-Point Switch. For this particular application, the engineer was faced with taking 64 differential pairs from PCB to test instrumentation. With SMP connectors, this would have meant having to place 128 individual connectors on the board. This posed two issues: • The number of SMP connectors would require a prohibitively lar
