43 Board-to-board connectors: MBX/MMBX Features Direct board-to-board connection Compensating mechanical misalignment in axial (up to ±1.2 mm) and radial direction No mechanical stress on piece parts or solder joints Blind mateable Excellent RF performance Good power handling Benefits Lower total cost of ownership Thanks to the distinguished axial float (±1.2 mm) more complex board-toboard structures are possible (tolerance chain). Module housings and other parts no longer need to be so precisely machined. Miniaturization The design of more compact modules (transceivers, remote radio units) are possible with board-to-board distances as low as 6.7 mm (MMBX). This enables designs of smaller modules with less weight and lower cost. Higher output power The MBX and MMBX connectors can handle high power requirements in a module environment where high ambient temperatures exist. This opens new possibilities for module designs without active cooling but high output power. Reliable connection The MBX and MMBX design is such that no mechanical stress applies to the piece parts and solder joints and therefore ensures high reliability. Secure mating and assembling process The MBX and MMBX allow direct blind mateable board-to-board connections.

45 Design guide Working range (axial and radial) mated board connector In mated condition, the two connecting parts have to be aligned within the dimension given for the axial and radial working range. Unlike the MMBX interface, the tilt of the adapter can be limited with the MBX. The great advantage of this feature is that there now is a constant working range with different adapter lengths and thus the same standard funnel for the connecting parts can be used. Connecting range unmated board connector The two connecting parts need to be aligned within the connecting range when mating. In order to guarantee a blind mateable connection, the tilted adapter will be guided by the funnel of the opposite connector. The connecting range therefore depends on the adapter and the pull-in range (size of the funnel). MBX MMBX Connecting range Working range Connecting range Working range Recommendation HUBER+SUHNER recommend using guiding pins to align the boards within the connecting range and working range and also distance holders to maintain the axial misalignment within the working range. HUBER+SUHNER provide an outline drawing for every application with the relevant mechanical dimensions that need to be considered when designing-in MBX/MMBX. 3D STEP filed are available on Test boards MBX/MMBX test boards Measurement of return loss (RL) and insertion loss (IL) of a MBX / MMBX board-to-board test board.

55 Threat scenario in defence applications The threat mechanisms by which high level energy surges are generated can be separated into the two groups of natural occurrences and man-made energy surges. The natural phenomenon of lightning (LEMP) has been extensively investigated. Cloud-earth or earth-cloud flashes with currents up to 400 ka are generated as soon as the electrical field strength exceeds 100 kv/m. Good lightning protectors shall be capable of handling large currents without being degraded. The frequency content of lightning goes up to 1 MHz. Man-made surges can be unintentional when they originate from high power switching of electric engines or intentional when they are created by specific weapons, radar equipment or high power communication transmitters. The three categories of intentional created surges are: The HEMP or High altitude electromagnetic pulse. Its interference mechanism derives from Gamma radiation generated during a nuclear explosion at high altitude. This radiation displaces electrons from the molecules in the upper atmosphere (Compton Effect) which causes the high level HEMP / NEMP (nuclear EMP) pulse. Such high altitude nuclear explosion can affect a huge area, several hundreds of kilometers in diameter, on the earth. HEMP / NEMP protectors shall be capable of diverting fast pulses (ns rise times) on a path with minimal inductance to ground. The HEMP pulse has significant spectral components up to 300 MHz. The HPM / UWB pulse. Meanwhile several non- nuclear mechanisms have been developed that produce even faster effects than the HEMP. The technique of using fast pulse generators that receive their energy either from conventional TNT explosions or from large capacitors (Marx generator) built into bombs (E bombs) or missiles is well known. The frequency content of Ultra wideband pulses (UWB) ranges from 500 MHz 5 GHz. High power microwave sources (HPM) generate narrow band signals extending from 1 to 10 GHz. Protectors against HPM and UWB signals must be capable to react within pico seconds. Radar pulse streams and other transmitters with high continuous or pulsed power are a threat for any sensitive RF receivers on board of vessels and airplanes. Classic examples are jets landing on an aircraft carrier or signal exploitation hardware on warships. Protection components which limit the received signals to a non-hazardous level are demanded in this scenario. Lightning Narrow band Spectral density [(V/m) / Hz} 1/ω 1/ω 2 HEMP 1/ω 1/ω 3 Wide band EMI Environments ~ 100 khz ~ 1 MHz ~ 10 MHz ~ 300 MHz ~ 1 10 GHz Frequency Lightning: significant spectral components up to ~ 1 MHz HEMP: significant spectral components up to ~ 300 MHz Wide band (e.g. UWB/SP): extending > 500 MHz 5 GHz Narrow band (e.g. HPM/HiRF): extending from ~ 1 to 10 GHz EMI environments HUBER+SUHNER Defence 53

56 Lightning protection Product overview Gas discharge tube protectors with exchangeable GDTs Series 3401/3402 (standard versions) For applications with RF and DC components on the antenna line the standard GDT lightning / EMP protectors feature DC continuity and large bandwidth. Most HUBER+SUHNER GDT protector designs are performing excellently in the NEMP application as well. For specific applications internally DC-blocked GDT protectors are available. Self-extinguishing GDT protectors (SEMPER TM ) The HUBER+SUHNER SEMPER design guarantees safe extinguishing of the GDT under high RF power or with additional DC components on the antenna line. By retrofitting standard GDTs with the SEMPER GDT existing installations can be upgraded. The SEMPER technology is a real improvement to the standard gas tube technology and increases reliability and lifetime of GDT protectors. True broadband GDT protectors Series 3406 SlimLine GDT protectors feature high return loss in the frequency band between DC and 6 GHz. This design is best suited for point to point and WLAN equipment. Hybrid / low PIM / high power GDT protectors Series 3409 This patented technology features low passive intermodulation at extremely high continuous and peak instantaneous power (up to 25 kw PIP). Bias-T / DC injectors with integrated lightning protector Series 3410 Bias-T's, used to «feed-in» or «pick-off» DC voltage into or from antenna feeder cables, provide the operating voltage for active electronics installed on the mast (mast head amplifiers, etc.) Hybrid GDT fine protectors Series 3403 For very sensitive DC powered receivers such as those used in GPS installations, the hybrid GDT fine protectors with integrated transient voltage suppressor diodes guarantee lowest residual pulse energy. HUBER+SUHNER fine protectors do feature DC continuity. 54 HUBER+SUHNER Defence

57 Quarter-wave shorting stub protectors Series 3400 HUBER+SUHNER quarter-wave shorting stub protectors perform best lightning parameters with excellent RF specifications within limited bandwidth. A ratio of 4:1 between lowest and highest frequency of the frequency band is achievable by still meeting high return loss. For specific applications internally DC-blocked quarter-wave shorting stub protectors are also available. Filter protectors Series 3407 LC or LCL band pass filter technologies allow to increase the bandwidth to ratios larger than 4:1 in a compact mechanical design, hence they are an alternative to quarter-wave shorting stub protectors. LC or LCL filter protectors are internally DC-blocked. Data line protectors Series 3414 (twisted pair, ethernet) Our CAT 5 and CAT6 (Gigabit )data line protectors are «Power Over Ethernet» compatible and available as IP68 rated robust components for outdoor applications (i.e. backhaul microwave links) or in IP20 specified housings for indoor installations (i.e. data processing centers). SEMPER TM - self-extinguishing gas discharge tube protector The patented SEMPER concept enhances the safety and reliability of the wellknown gas discharge tube (GDT) protector principle impressively. It eliminates the risk of gas discharge tube «hold on» due to DC line powering or high RF signals which will render the system inoperable and can destroy the GDT. The SEMPER invention is based on a mechanical resettable thermo-switch which is integrated within the GDT protectors capsule holder.

The components as well as the assemblies are tested extensively in HUBER+SUHNER s test laboratory and in external labs. The tests are performed according to international and military standards. Typical tests are Thermal tests: temperature cycling, humidity, shock Mechanical tests: tension, bending, crush, impact, vibration, durability Fire tests: fire propagation, circuit integrity, smoke density, toxic gases Ingress resistance: water and dust tightness Fluid resistance: water, oils, fuels, solvents, acids Application tests: coiling capability, run-over by vehicles, weathering Wherever MIL standards are applicable, they are used as a test specification. International standards and those from organisations are also used. 62 HUBER+SUHNER Defence
