for Glenair APPLICATIONS
RF Assemblies
Glenair high-frequency RF technologies are typically used in line-replaceable units and chassis that are part of an RF data transmission chain. The rugged,
environmental construction of Glenair RF connectors and contacts, combined with our dimensionally stable RF cables, makes these elements ideally suited for mission-critical air, sea, land and space applications. Glenair is one of just a few interconnect manufacturers that can also supply turnkey RF cable assemblies – fully connectorized and ready for immediate use. Glenair RF interconnect solutions have proven performance – from sub-sea to outer space – in a wide range of high reliability application environments.
Examples include fighter- jet radar applications, RF/ microwave signal processing, as well as various forms of GPS navigation, jamming, and EW platforms in air-, sea- and land-based systems. Across-the-board, RF platforms designed for use in defense aviation require high levels of hermetic and/or barrier sealing in connectors and cables to prevent moisture absorption from afffecting data transmission performance.
DEFENSE
RF systems in commercial aerospace include radio communications, inertial navigation systems, global GPS navigation, air traffic control radar, collision-avoidance and other RF transmission chains crucial for the safe and efficient operation of aircraft. AEROSPACE 16 QwikConnect • January 2023
