Bulls Eye®Bulls Eye® RF High-Performance Test to 90 GHz
Bulls Eye® high-performance test assembly features a high-density space saving design that enables smaller evaluation boards and shorter trace lengths in test and measurement applications. The Bulls Eye® block compression mounts to the board for placement directly adjacent to the SerDes being characterized. The solderless design improves overall cost and is easy to use within a lab setting.
