SMA Coaxial connectors are one of the most common coaxial connector types used in almost every application coaxial connectors are used. SMA connectors can be made to a precision grade which extends the frequency range of operation to 18 GHz, or even 26.5 GHz. Hence,...
RF Coaxial Cables are one of the most common types of transmission lines, used in virtually all types of RF applications. From space, aerospace, and defense/military to home television, either 50 Ohm Coaxial Cables or 75 Ohm Coaxial Cables can be found almost...
BNC Coaxial Connectors, the name being an initialism of Bayonet Neill-Concelman, is a commonly used coaxial connector for a wide variety of 50 Ohm and 75 Ohm applications. Originally designed in the 1940s for military applications, both BNC Female Connectors and BNC...
There are various methods of discussing the electromagnetic frequency spectrum relevant to RF/microwave applications. The most common are ITU radio bands, IEEE designations for radar-frequency bands, the EU/NATO/US ECM frequency designations, and then common waveguide...
RF coaxial cable assemblies consist of a coaxial cable and one or more RF coaxial connectors terminating one or both ends. There are a wide range of both coaxial cable and coaxial connectors. Amongst the variation in coaxial connectors is the method in which the...
Generating desired frequencies is a critical stage in nearly all RF and wireless devices, be it for communication, broadcast, or sensing. RF oscillators are the key to generating RF frequencies within a device, circuit, or system. However, RF oscillators benefit from...
RF Antennas are the primary method for RF communication and sensing systems to convert electrical signals to RF and vice versa. A subset of RF antennas is fixed antennas, which is mainly a description of how they are mounted, installed and generally used. A fixed...
RF Attenuators are widely used throughout the RF/microwave systems to reduce the signal strength in a signal chain for a variety of reasons. In some cases, it is merely advantageous to lower the signal strength at the output of a RF attenuator without otherwise...
There are a few cases with RF interconnects that require the connection between stationary RF parts and parts that rotate about an axis. The most common example of this is aviation radar that rotates 360 degrees. There are also many circumstances where it may be...
The most common types of coaxial cable assemblies most engineers encounter are made with flexible coaxial cables. These cables use a braided or stranded type of outer conductor and a highly flexible dielectric and outer jacket material. An outer jacket is necessary...
