Rosenberger MCX 50 Ω coaxial connectors feature a snap-on locking mechanism. They are mainly applied in RF cable connections up to 6 GHz such as those found in fixed and wireless communication systems. MCX connectors offer high reliability, long service life, as well as easy and fast mounting. The PCB connectors are supplied in tape and reel packaging for automatic assembly to boards and in blisters. MCX connectors with 75 Ω characteristic impedance are available on request.

Rosenberger RPC-SP 50 Ω precision connectors are designed for applications up to 22 GHz where quick and reliable interconnects are essential. Intermateable with OSP and BMA connectors, the floating construction allows compensation for axial and radial misalignment while the innovative blind mate self-finding mechanism ensures fast, easy connection and disconnection, bringing significant time and cost reductions. Furthermore, tightening the connection requires no additional tooling. RPC-SP connectors are therefore ideal for use where space is at a premium such as in many rack and plug-in applications. The product range comprises cable, panel and PCB connectors, adaptors to other coaxial connector series, airlines as well as test & measurement accessories such as RPC-SP calibration kits, test cables or measurement equipment (open – short – load).

Rosenberger’s comprehensive portfolio of cost-effective, high-quality and precision products enables a broad spectrum of industrial test & measurement applications for active or passive devices. Rosenberger develops and offers a selection of verification kits for common precision interfaces for vector network analyzers (VNAs). All verification components from Rosenberger are electrically characterized on a network analyzer measurement system. These measurements are traceable to metrology standards such as PTB (Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt Braunschweig) or NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology).

Rosenberger presents a new and innovative GPS over Fiber system for applications where coax cannot be used to route the GPS signal to base stations. With more centralized RAN and large-scale DAS applications, there are many cases where the GPS antennas are located too far from the base stations for coaxial losses to be acceptable. To overcome this issue, the GPS over Fiber system converts the RF signal to light, transmits it over the fiber, and then restores the light to the original RF signal. Working in contrast to the many systems that employ a bulky remote unit – which requires power and separate mounting space – as well as a large master unit encompassing an active GPS splitter, Rosenberger has rethought the process and designed a fiber-optic replacement for the coaxial cable. Instead of a master unit and a remote unit, the system uses an electrooptical converter (E/O converter) at the antenna and an opto-electrical converter (O/E converter) near the base station. By employing this method, the E/O converter becomes a small, compact unit that connects directly to the GPS antenna. The unit is so small that it can even fit within a 1 ½ inch pipe of the kind often used to mount GPS antennas. The O/E converter handles all alarms and is a compact unit. It can be used to power the E/O converter and can be connected to standard GPS splitters with full support for their redundancy functionality. This means that the GPS over Fiber system fully emulates the behavior of a passive copper cable and GPS antenna, allowing any device that is normally connected to the GPS antenna to maintain proper operation when connected to an O/E converter. Interconnecting the two units i.e. E/O converter to the O/E converter is a thin hybrid cable comprised of fiber and power, which means no power source is required at the GPS antenna. The individual link support for each GPS antenna allows for the flexibility of using a normal coaxial configuration and simply replacing each coax cable from a GPS antenna with an E/O converter, an O/E converter, and a hybrid cable. With a maximum hybrid cable length of 1.9 miles (3 km), this system can meet the demands of almost any installation
