X-Microwave Design System

Component Evaluation

The X-Microwave prototyping plate allows individual parts to be evaluated independently or combined with other blocks to design systems. Each X-MWblock serves as its own functional block and features one or more Qorvo devices. The common 50-ohm launch on each RF port enables common connectivity to every port using the X-Microwave probe. When required, bias and control signals are provided from the bottom side of the prototyping plate, enabling quick high-performance evaluation that is reusable for prototyping and production.
 

System Prototyping

Every X-MWblock can be combined with any other block to build full system prototypes. The patented solderless interconnect allows for multiple devices to be connected in any configuration on the prototyping plate. System prototypes are clean, compact, and perform remarkably close to that of a custom integrated design. Modular walls, lids, and shield allow you to build a cavity around your design and address potential production issues before they occur.
 

Production

Each individual block can also be placed in a connectorized housing for production applications or combined to build production subassemblies or IMAs. Individual X-Microwave blocks can be combined and miniaturized on-the-grid at lower cost and lower risk, improving your chances of first-pass success.
