Meet SignalBricks™ - RF Lab Essentials That Keep Your Design Moving
Every RF engineer knows the challenge: getting from concept to measurement often requires a collection of adapters, baluns, transformers, and improvised test fixtures. SignalBricks™ from Crystek eliminates that complexity by providing ready-to-use, high-performance interface solutions that help you spend less time building test setups and more time designing.
The inaugural SignalBricks family features nine precision balun and transformer models engineered to provide seamless signal conversion between single-ended and differential circuits. Whether you're connecting a signal generator, spectrum analyzer, vector network analyzer, or other laboratory equipment to your latest design, SignalBricks make the transition simple, repeatable, and reliable.
With frequency coverage from near DC to 8 GHz and both AC-coupled and DC-coupled options available, SignalBricks support a wide range of RF, microwave, and high-speed digital applications. Their compact, rugged construction makes them ideal for engineering labs, prototype development, product evaluation, and production test environments.
- High-speed clock circuits
- ADCs and DACs
- RF amplifiers
- Mixers
- Evaluation boards
- Communication systems
- Custom laboratory test fixtures
Whether you're troubleshooting a prototype, validating a new design, or performing precision measurements, SignalBricks deliver the performance and convenience professional engineers expect from Crystek.
Crystek SignalBrick Transformers
The SignalBrick XFR Series are a new Family of Single-Ended-to-Differential (S2D) Interface Passive Lab Circuits available for RF signal chains, high-speed clocking systems and analog inputs/outputs to ADCs and DACs respectively. Each SignalBrick is DC coupled, cable sold separately, and supports frequencies from 100kHz to 800MHz and housed in a covered 1.4 x 1.5 inch test board package for ease of use and lab bench environments.
Additional models and frequency ranges can be made available.
Crystek SignalBrick Baluns
The SignalBrick BAL Series are a new Family of Single-Ended-to-Differential (S2D) Interface Passive Lab Circuits available for RF signal chains, high-speed clocking systems and analog inputs/outputs to ADCs and DACs respectively. Each SignalBrick is AC coupled and supports frequencies from 1MHz to 8.5GHz and housed in a covered 1.4x1.5 inch test board package for ease of use and lab bench environments.
Additional models and frequency ranges can be made available.
