TIMES

MICROWAVE SYSTEMS

The History of TMS

Times Microwave Systems (TMS)

was founded in 1948 as the Times

Wire and Cable Company.

TMS is an engineering

oriented organization

specializing in the design

and manufacture of high

performance flexible and

semi-rigid coaxial cable,

connectors, and cable

assemblies for RF

transmission from HF through

Microwave frequencies.

TMS is committed to

continuous improvement with respect to ISO-9001

Quality Standards and ISO-14001 Environmental

Management Systems.

The expertise that pro-

vided cable solutions for the

demanding requirements of

airborne electronic warfare

systems and led the way in

the development of low

smoke cables for shipboard

applications is now yielding

high performance cables to meet the needs of the wire-

less communications market. The innovative product line

provides a better alternative to corrugated copper cables

for antenna feeders and system interconnects. Compared

to corrugated copper cables, LMR cables offer better

flexibility, resistance to linking, comparable attenuation,

and easier connector attachment at a lower cost.

The

work performed at TMS in the 60’s, 70’s, and

80’s forms the basis for today’s high performance coaxial

cables. TMS pioneered the development of closed cell

low loss polyethylene foam dielectric and low loss taped

PTFE dielectric coaxial cables. Through a thorough

understanding of transmission line theory and

manufacturing processes, TMS was the first to produce

cables with reduced periodicity and impedance matched

interfaces, resulting in the first transmission lines with low

VSWR over broadband frequency ranges up to 40 GHz.

The development of connector design and manufacturing

expertise allowed TMS to take full performance

responsibility for the entire cable assembly, which was

unprecedented at the time.

TMS has been instrumental

in the development of

military specifications, including MIL-C-17 for coaxial

cables. Times is the leading source of MIL-C-17 qualified

products, holding far more QPL’s (Qualified Product

Listings) than any other manufacturer in the world. Times

also helped the US Navy write the MIL-T-81490

Transmission Line Specification, and is qualified to supply

microwave transmission lines that meet MIL-T-81490

and MIL-C-87104 (US Air Force) requirements. These

are the specifications that define harsh military airborne

environments that Electronic Warfare transmission lines

must perform in, year after year.

TMS

applies its expertise

to customer requirements

through a staff of Field

Application Engineers.

Unlike other cable

manufacturers with limited

product lines, who try to fit

customer applications to their existing products, the

philosophy of TMS is to select or design the right product

for the application. This results in an optimal and cost

effective solution.

TMS

is the leader in the design, qualification,

manufacture, and on-time delivery of high performance

cable and cable assembly products to the commercial

wireless and military marketplace. In 2003, TMS was

selected by Lockheed Martin Aeronautics to supply the

Broadband Airborne Cable Assemblies on the F-35 Joint

Strike Fighter (JSF). TMS was chosen to supply this

solution since its high performance cable assemblies are

able to handle high-speed data in extreme

avionics environments including wide

variations in temperature and

pressure.
