Abstract: A frequency equalizer is provided. The frequency equalizer includes a coupler including a main segment extending between a first port and a second port and a coupled segment disposed in a coupling relationship with the main segment and extending between a third port and a fourth port. The frequency equalizer further includes a first thermistor electrically coupled in series between the first port and an input line, a second thermistor electrically coupled in series between the second port and an output line, and a first shunt resistor coupled across the third port. The frequency equalizer simultaneously provides frequency equalization and temperature compensation for signals transmitted through the frequency equalizer.

Abstract: A test socket for an IC includes a socket body, a rotational contact, and an elastomer retainer. The socket body includes a top surface that faces the IC, and a bottom surface that faces a load board. The socket body defines a slot extending from the top surface to an aperture in the bottom surface. The rotational contact is positioned in the slot. The elastomer retainer captures the rotational contact in the socket body and includes a round section about which the rotational contact rotates. The elastomer retainer compresses under translatory force from the rotational contact when translating from the free state to the pre-load state upon engagement with the load board, and compresses under rotational force from the rotational contact when rotating from the pre-load state to the loaded state upon engagement with the IC.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for an electrical connector assembly that connects an integrated circuit chip to a printed circuit board. The electrical connector assembly includes a socket body and a socket retainer. The socket retainer is aligned with the socket body to form a socket cavity. The electrical connector assembly includes a spring probe. The spring probe is positioned within the socket cavity to electrically connect the integrated circuit chip with the printed circuit board. The electrical connector assembly includes a contact inducing device. The contact inducing device is configured to ensure that the spring probe contacts one or more traces within the printed circuit broad when the spring probe is depressed or received within the socket cavity.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for an electrical connector assembly for connecting an integrated circuit chip to a printed circuit board. The electrical connector assembly includes a socket body that is made of an insulating material. The socket body has a top surface, a bottom surface, and a first plurality of cavities including a first cavity and a second cavity. The first cavity and the second cavity each have an inner surface plated with a conductive material to form a metal grounding shell. The electrical connector assembly includes multiple probes including a first probe and a second probe. The first probe is configured to be positioned within the first cavity and the second probe is configured to be positioned within the second cavity. The electrical connector assembly includes one or more signal traces that electrically connect the metal grounding shells of the first cavity and the second cavity.

Abstract: An RF connector is provided. The RF connector includes a first outer contactor, an outer sleeve in contact with the first outer contactor, an outer spring in contact with the first outer contactor and configured to resist axial translation of the first outer contactor with respect to the outer sleeve, a first inner contactor, an inner sleeve in contact with the first inner contactor, and an inner spring in contact with the first inner contactor and configured to resist axial translation of the first inner contactor with respect to the inner sleeve. The RF connector is configured to be removably coupled between a first board and a second board when axially compressed between the first and second boards, and a resistance to the axial compression provided by the outer spring and the inner spring holds the RF connector in place with respect to the first and second boards.
