BRACKE Manufacturing - HF- und Mikrowellenkomponenten bei EMCO Elektronik

BRACKE Manufacturing joins the EMCO Elektronik portfolio

EMCO Elektronik is expanding its portfolio of RF and microwave components and has taken over the distribution of BRACKE Manufacturing in Germany, Austria and Switzerland with immediate effect. Customers in the DACH region now have an additional source for standard and custom components for professional RF and microwave applications.

BRACKE Manufacturing develops and manufactures components for applications in test & measurement, aerospace, defense, communications and industry. BRACKE therefore complements EMCO's existing portfolio with a range of passive components and interconnect solutions for RF signal paths, test benches, laboratory setups and system integration.

A broad portfolio of RF and microwave components

The BRACKE portfolio covers different functions within RF and microwave systems, including components for interconnection, signal distribution, level adjustment, isolation, termination and signal switching.

  • RF adapters and connectors: Components for interconnecting and adapting RF interfaces.
  • Coaxial cables and cable assemblies: Solutions for signal transmission and connection between RF components and instruments.
  • Attenuators: Passive components providing defined attenuation within an RF signal path.
  • DC Blocks: Components for blocking DC components within coaxial signal paths.
  • Power dividers and couplers: Passive components for signal distribution and signal coupling.
  • Terminations: Components for defined termination of RF interfaces.
  • RF switches: Solutions for switching between RF signal paths.
  • Waveguide components: Components for applications based on waveguide technology.

Technical context: passive components within the RF signal chain

In RF and microwave systems, overall performance is not determined exclusively by active equipment such as Signal Generators, Amplifiers or Measurement Instruments. The selection of passive components throughout the signal path is also relevant when designing a reproducible system that meets the requirements of the application.

Adapters, cables, attenuators, couplers, terminations and RF switches each perform specific functions within the signal chain. Depending on the application, these components therefore need to be selected according to the electrical and mechanical requirements of the overall system.

Typical application areas

According to the supplier information, BRACKE components are intended for a range of professional RF and microwave environments:

  • Test & measurement: Construction and interconnection of RF measurement chains, test benches and laboratory environments.
  • Aerospace: RF and microwave components for relevant development and system applications.
  • Defense: Passive RF components for professional RF and microwave systems.
  • Communications: Components for RF signal paths within communication systems.
  • Industry: Standard and custom RF solutions for industrial applications.

Specific frequency ranges, power ratings, connector series and other technical specifications for the individual BRACKE product families are not specified in the provided information. These parameters therefore need to be evaluated for the relevant product reference and application.

BRACKE and EMCO: technical selection for the DACH region

With BRACKE Manufacturing, EMCO Elektronik adds another source of RF and microwave components to its portfolio. For customers, this expands the available selection of passive components, cables, interconnect solutions and waveguide products.

EMCO supports customers with the technical selection of suitable components and their evaluation within the relevant RF, microwave, measurement or system application. Combining the BRACKE portfolio with EMCO's RF, microwave and EMC expertise enables an application-oriented view that goes beyond the individual component.
