At IMS 2026 in Boston, scheduled for June 7–12, the event will highlight advancements in RF and microwave technologies, radar and sensing systems, as well as 5G and 6G communications. Aaronia AG will present its latest high-frequency measurement innovations at booth 23045 in Hall A, where over 8,000 attendees from more than 55 countries are expected.
Alongside its USB-based real-time SPECTRAN spectrum analyzers—known for their flexibility, customization, and high performance—Aaronia will also demonstrate its comprehensive RF expertise through a full range of high-end, Germany-engineered accessories as a complete solution provider in the test and measurement sector.
Magnetic RF Connectors
One of the highlights at this year’s IMS are the new magnetic connectors. Clean and secure connections are one of the major challenges, especially in mobile field applications. Dirt, bent contacts, or loose connections are common sources of error that negatively impact measurement results. The new high- frequency connectors enable quick, tool-free installation and put an end to damaged threads caused by over-tightening. Strong magnets ensure a secure hold and perfect connections at all times. Optionally, the connectors can be equipped with magnetic reverse polarity protection. Currently, the magnetic RF connectors are available for N, SMA, 2.95, 1.85, and 1 mm.
Edge Mount Waveguide PCB Adapters
These innovative solderless edge mount waveguide PCB adapters are revolutionizing circuit design. Each adapter in the series features an identical, solderless PCB mounting surface. The adapters are secured to the PCB using the screws provided. The adapters are suitable for PCBs with a thickness of up to 2.2 mm and can be exchanged for a different model at any time. Currently available are adapters for WR08, WR10, WR12, and WR15 waveguides as well as 1 mm and 1.85 mm coaxial connectors.
Adapter and Calibration Sets
To make measurements in the high-frequency range easier, faster, and safer, Aaronia has developed special adapter and calibration sets. The sets include precision adapters as well as accessories for several common coaxial and waveguide interfaces. This allows not only for the rapid implementation of nearly all conceivable measurement setups, but also for the quick adaptation of existing configurations to new requirements.
Each set contains adapters in male/male, male/female, and female/female configurations, pairs of test cables for flexible connections, and dial gauge-based test fixtures to ensure correct mechanical connections. Aaronia’s adapter and calibration sets are available for the 3.5 mm, 2.92 mm, 2.4 mm, 1.85 mm, 1 mm, and waveguide connector series.
Adjustable filter banks and limiters
The adjustable notch and bandpass filter banks can be flexibly adapted to specific requirements by adjusting key filter parameters. The bandwidths range from 10 MHz to 26 GHz.
In addition, Aaronia offers high-quality limiters up to 40 GHz—and soon even up to 67 GHz—to protect sensitive electronics from damage caused by excessive high-frequency interference.
