In addition to the growing variety of drop-in blocks, X-Microwave has also introduced over 700 part numbers for Mini-Circuits components in connectorized housings for evaluation and integration into subassemblies.

X-Microwave's innovative X-MWsystem® is the industry's first truly modular, solderless evaluation system, incorporating thousands of physically compatible drop-in building blocks from multiple manufacturers for prototyping microwave assemblies. System blocks come fully characterized and modeled with X-Parameters®, S-Parameters and Sys-Parameters enabling easy simulation and physical configuration through X-Microwave’s free, online tools for non-linear simulation and mechanical layout. This unique, modular approach eliminates the need for custom evaluation board layouts, and has become a popular solution in the industry to shorten design cycles and accelerate time to market.

"Our partnership with X-Microwave has allowed us to offer a valuable and truly innovative resource to customers using Mini-Circuits components in their designs," said Mini-Circuits Vice President of Technical Marketing, Steven Scheinkopf.
