News - Updates from the World of SPINNER

Ruggedized test port adapters from SPINNER are quick and easy to attach to your vector network analyzer so you can start getting results right away. Plus, they very effectively protect the VNA test port from accidental damage.

These so-called port replicators reliably safeguard your equipment’s test ports. Extra ball bearings in the coupling nut of the SPINNER ruggedized test port adapter prevent direct grinding and friction between the coupling nut and outer conductor.

In May this year, Petracarbon was awarded the contract to supply and install 60 units of SPINNER Mobile Network Combining Systems – MNCS® – for the MRT tunnel Circle Line upgrading project.

The technical development of the MNCS® design was accomplished in close cooperation between SPINNER China, Petracarbon, the Singapore mobile operators – Singtel, M1, StarHub and SIMBA – as well as the Land Transport Authority (LTA) and Singapore Technologies.

The 1.5-3.5 series features the successful design pioneered by the low-PIM 4.3-10 series but with smaller dimensions. While the 4.3-10 series is similar in size to a conventional type N connector, the 1.5-3.5 series is much smaller to meet the typical space requirements of the SMA series.

The robust and highly compact PIM-resistant design of the 1.5-3.5 calibration kit delivers proven SPINNER quality you can depend on.

The new bearing-free, and thus maintenance-free, rotary joint has a free internal diameter of 140 mm and enables on the one hand a safe IO-Link transmission of two IO-Link channels and on the other hand contactless energy transmission to provide the power supply for the connected sensors.

Have you ever been annoyed by a faulty test port connector on your network analyzer? To blame yourself would probably be the wrong answer here. That’s why we prefer to offer solutions: The new ruggedized precision test port adapters.

To ensure mobile wireless communication coverage in the 185-meter-high Omniturm, an office and residential building in Frankfurt am Main’s city center, the developers have decided to install a passive DAS system containing SPINNER products.

Calling all cell tower technicians! The new SPINNER 3-in-1 OSL compact calibration kits for the NEX10® and 4.3-10 coaxial connector systems will be available in July. This means that you can save measuring equipment weight when climbing a cell tower and still perform a complete OSL (Open, Short, Load) 1-channel calibration of the network analyzer.

The SPINNER Antenna Monitoring System (AMS) has evolved in recent years into a tool that goes beyond merely arc detection. A breakthrough was the addition of innovative VSWR monitoring, which is much more than a normal power reading at a directional coupler.

At the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in February 2022, visitors witnessed the first end-to-end commercial 5G Broadcast solution in action. A live signal was transmitted within the exhibition center in Barcelona, using a Rohde & Schwarz transmitter, sectorized antenna systems from Cellnex and a smartphone form-factor test device from Qualcomm Technologies. SPINNER supplied a mask filter from its portfolio.
