To improve in-flight connectivity to wireless networks, choose W. L. Gore & Associates’ leaky feeder antennas. While passengers enjoy easy access to the Internet, email and in-flight entertainment, aircraft benefit from better signal propagation and reduced hardware required in the cabin for reliable connectivity.

Passengers expect easy access to Internet servers, emails, social media and in-flight entertainment while airborne -- regardless of where they sit on the plane. Built for both wide-body and single-aisle civilian aircraft, W. L. Gore & Associates offers a single solution that reliably provides airborne connectivity and mobile satellite coverage during travel. 

When choosing military aircraft components, lasting performance is always a top consideration. Yet while many cables perform dependably prior to installation, the challenges of routing leave them damaged and ill-prepared for the rigors of the aircraft’s flight envelope. That’s why W. L. Gore & Associates developed an installation simulator to prove their microwave assemblies delivered the same reliability before and after installation.

The importance of a microwave cable assembly’s shielding effectiveness cannot be understated. Across defense, civil, and aerospace applications, it impacts the system performance of the aircraft and could impede upon data transmission capabilities.

Gore provides high-performance cable assemblies with significant mechanical and electrical advantages for high-flex applications in aerospace and defense, spaceflight, semiconductor, and test and measurement environments.

SMA, 3.5 mm and 2.92 mm connectors make reliable, RF components and instrumentation possible. These seemingly mundane devices are the result of evolutionary and revolutionary design, covering a 40-year period and involving several corporations. In their present state, they represent highly evolved, well-defined interface systems.

If you determine that your system may be affected by PIM distortion, there are a few basic guidelines you can use to minimize PIM generation.
