HUBER+SUHNER Aerospace & Defense

More About HUBER+SUHNER

HUBER+SUHNER Aerospace and Defense features rugged interconnection solutions that meet stringent performance and safety standards. These solutions help solve the difficult challenges in radio frequency, fiber optic data, and low/medium voltage power transmission. The aerospace and defense industry encompasses three technologies, including Radio Frequency (RF), Fiber Optics (FO), and Low Frequency (LF). These industries demand mission systems that are compact, lighter, highly efficient, and optimized for Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

The high-performance interconnect solutions for aerospace applications are designed to withstand extreme environmental conditions and load factors up to 10g. These interconnect solutions feature compact designs with minimal bend radius for optimal performance. The ultra-lightweight ruggedized solutions ensure reliability and meet the most demanding requirements in applications such as fighter jets, helicopters, UAVs, missile-mounted radars, antennas, and high-altitude aircraft.

The SUCOFLEX, Minibend, Eacon, and Everflex flexible microwave cable assemblies offer superior electrical and mechanical performance for static and dynamic applications. These assemblies provide optimal performance up to 90GHz, where stringent electrical requirements are crucial. The BMA and SMPM-T radio frequency connectors, designed for the transmission of analog and digital signals, are ideal for a wide range of applications. The VITA 67 65GHz SMPM cable assembly features solderless Minibend bend-to-the-end technology with a bending radius of 0.06”/1.5mm.

Radars employ a phased array or Active Electronically Steered Array (AESA) architecture to improve reliability and accuracy, and to allow tracking of multiple targets. The wide range of low-loss and phase-stable microwave cable assemblies is designed to meet the requirements. With miniaturization driving higher integration and density, the board-to-board solutions handle significant mechanical misalignments, complemented by Minibend products featuring bend-to-the-end technology.

The Minibend, SUCOFLEX, and phase-invariant cable assemblies provide optimal performance up to 90GHz for applications such as radars and T/R modules. The lighting protection products, including quarter-wave and wideband Gas Discharge Tube (GDT) versions, are available for applications up to 18GHz. The fiber optic cables utilize RADOX^® technology for superior performance in harsh environments. The RF-over-Fiber connectors enable the use of radio frequency and fiber optics in a single system.
