See "Test Fixture Design - Matrix Fixture DUT Interface Board (DIB) Layout." for specific pin out definitions for Inserts, layout guidelines, and other important requirements of DIB design.
MCX Dual Matrix Fixture Interface 6GHz: RIK0138A
This interface is composed of a single block with two MCX panel mount connectors side by side. It is designed for use on the Matrix top plate and is placeable at 0.5" pitch. It is intended to be for RF connections with a bandwidth up to 6Ghz. The DIB interface has a cutout "tongue" that makes contact with the connector center conductor.

SMA Matrix Fixture Interface Single SMA - 10GHz: RIK0117A
The SMA interface block is a mechanical assembly composed of a single press-in connector and brass mounting. The DIB interface has a cutout "tongue" that makes contact with the connector center conductor. Placement of the grounding pads and their related ground vias is critical. They have been optimized for best performance and their locations should not be adjusted from the gerber template locations.

SMA Matrix Fixture Interface Single SMA 15GHz: RIK0212A
Consists of a single press in SMA adapter. It is designed for use on the Matrix top plate and is placeable at 0.5" pitch. It is intended to be for RF connections with a bandwidth up to 15 Ghz. The DIB interface has a cutout "tongue" that makes contact with the connector center conductor.

SSMP (GPPO) 20GHz Matrix Fixture Interface: RIK0216A & RIK0217A
This interface consists of a bracket reinforced male surface mount SSMP connector on the DIB. The fixture side female SSMP requires a male SMA connection. It is designed for use on the Matrix top plate and is placeable at 0.5" pitch. It is intended to be for RF connections with a bandwidth up to 20Ghz.

MMPX 40GHz Matrix Fixture Interface: RIK0156A
This Launch is comprised of a single high frequency MMPX edge/surface mount
connector. The center conductor is routed to the top of the DIB to reduce series
inductance in the transition from connector to board. As shown in the picture RI
includes a "saddle" clamp to reinforce the DIB board and connector.
