Connector Launch Overview
Figure 1-1 Connector launch assembly
The 11923A 1.0-mm female connector launch assembly is designed for ultra-high frequency (up to
110 GHz) coaxial signal transmission into a microstrip package. The launch assembly facilitates
designing, building, testing, and troubleshooting high-frequency microcircuits, components, and
custom prototypes.
The launch assembly threads into a package or fixture housing. The user is responsible for the
machining of the package and installing the launch into the package. Procedures describing the
necessary geometry for machining the package wall and instructions for mounting the launch are
given in Chapter 3 .
The launch assembly features a 1.0-mm female connector on one end and a gold-plated pin
interface to the microcircuit on the other.
– The 1.0-mm center conductor is supported by a low-loss plastic bead. The connector interface
utilizes an air dielectric for the highest accuracy and repeatability, and is designed to meet or
exceed the IEE Std 287 Precision Coaxial Connector GPC grade specifications.
– The launch assembly contains a glass-to-metal seal soldered inside the launch housing. The
gold-plated pin on the launch extends inside the package or fixture for connection onto the
circuit.
Serial numbers
A serial number label is attached to the foam-lined box containing the launch. The serial number is
made up of five numbers and is unique to each adapter.
