Dependable testing solutions for space mission success
To evaluate how equipment and components will operate in space, TVAC testing uses a thermal vacuum chamber to simulate space environmental conditions as closely as possible by removing air and pressure, and subjecting components to thermal cycles, while the pressure is maintained at a high vacuum level.
The thermal behavior and functionality of HUBER+SUHNER’s TVAC testing solutions ensure mission success, survivability of space components and comply with industry qualification standards.
Featured products
SUCOFLEX® 100
The SUCOFLEX 100 series of flexible microwave cable assemblies offer superior electrical and mechanical performance for static and dynamic applications. This series provides optimal performance up to 50 GHz, where stringent electrical requirements – in particular, stability and low loss – are important. The assemblies maintain stable electrical characteristics when exposed to bending and temperature.
SUCOFLEX® 500
When it comes to test and measurement, the SUCOFLEX® 500 assemblies guarantee the highest level of satisfaction. Thanks to their unique cable and connector design, they deliver the best phase and amplitude stability versus flexure, movement, temperature and tensile stress, combined with outstanding return and insertion loss up to 70 GHz.
SUCOTEST 110/145
The flexible, armoured SUCOTEST 110/145 test cable assemblies are designed for demanding high-frequency applications, offering flexibility and durability for precise measurements up to 110/145 GHz. These cables excel in maintaining excellent return loss, phase stability, and amplitude stability even when subjected to bending, making them ideal for high-density and modular test setups.
Precision adaptors
HUBER+SUHNER manufactures a wide range of standard and high-performance adaptors that are ideal for lab and production test applications where measurement accuracy, repeatability, and optimum electrical performance are critical.
Attenuators, terminations and DC blocks
HUBER+SUHNER offers a comprehensive range of high-quality RF attenuators, terminations, and DC blocks, specifically designed to meet the diverse demands of test and measurement, communication, and defense applications. These components ensure signal integrity by managing power levels, eliminating DC currents, and preventing signal reflections.
RF-over-Fiber conversion
HUBER+SUHNER’s advanced RF-over-Fiber conversion technology offers significant advantages over traditional connectivity, including ultra-low signal loss over long distances, immunity to electromagnetic interference, simultaneous transmission of multiple data streams without cross-talk, and easier, lighter-weight installation.
High power solutions
The PSM (Power Sub Miniature) interface meets the increasing demand for cost effective, low weight and power sensitive aerospace applications. The PSM connector system enables customers to maximize connector density and minimize overall system weight.
All-optical switching
For customers engaging in lab automation, HUBER+SUHNER Polatis utilizes highly reliable piezoelectric Directlight® beam-steering technology to deliver a full line of all-optical switches, enabling low latency, fully transparent connections between optical fibers without requiring conversion between optical and electrical signals, offering greater flexibility and energy efficiency. HUBER+SUHNER Polatis are an ideal complementation to RF-over-Fiber systems and are combined seamlessly.
Phase shifters and hermetic adaptors
HUBER+SUHNER offers a wide array of hermetic feed-thru style adaptors and phase shifters that offer both in-series and between-series interface solutions for TVAC testing applications. The hermeticity is provided by a glass fired seal within the adaptor body. The glass material is selected to provide the best electrical performance while also matching the coefficient of thermal expansion of the surrounding body and contact as closely as possible to prevent any loss of hermeticity. All hermetic adaptors are 100 % tested for hermeticity in accordance with ASTM E-498, MIL-STD-202, and MIL-STD-883.
