SV Microwave, a leading provider of RF and microwave connectors, has released its latest line of VITA 67.3 contact terminations designed to prevent harmful RF signal reflections in embedded systems. SV Microwave's VITA product line represents a significant addition to the RF/coaxial section of the VPX platform, reinforcing the company's commitment to innovation and quality.
RF signal reflections, which occur when signals bounce back from unused or open ports within a system, can cause detrimental effects such as overloading and damage. By introducing the SMPM/SMPS VITA 67.3 RF Terminations, SV Microwave addresses these concerns and provides an effective solution to safeguard embedded systems.
These terminations have a nominal impedance of 50 Ohms, which ensures efficient signal transfer and compatibility with a wide range of RF systems. They serve as a high-frequency solution for embedded systems, minimizing signal reflection and enhancing overall system performance.
The SMPM Series of terminations has impressive specifications, including a frequency range of DC to 40 GHz and a shielding effectiveness of ≥ -100 dB from DC to 26.5 GHz. With a temperature rating of -65°C to +165°C and compliance with the MIL-STD 202 test method for vibrations and thermal shock, the SMPM terminations are built to withstand challenging operating conditions.

On the other hand, the SMPS Series of terminations offers a frequency range of up to 65 GHz, providing a unique solution for high-speed cabled applications. The terminations have the same shielding effectiveness as the SMPM series i.e. ≥ -100 dB from DC to 26.5 GHz, ensuring minimal signal reflections and optimal signal integrity. Additionally, they share the same robust temperature rating and compliance with the MIL-STD 202 test method for vibrations and thermal shock. Click here to learn about SMPS connectors.
These terminations from SV Microwave are suitable for applications in various industries, including aerospace, defense, avionics, radar systems, and ground base stations. Their compatibility with Air Transport Racks (ATRs) without Rear Transition Modules (RTMs) or limited speed through RTM makes them a flexible choice for different system configurations.
