Why Use a Waveguide-to-Coaxial Adapter?
Waveguides and coaxial assemblies are the most common types of RF interconnect used outside of planar circuit technologies. Both waveguides and coaxial assemblies have their advantages and drawbacks, which is why waveguide to coaxial adapters, as these factors can often lead to both waveguide and coax being used in the same application. Where waveguides are banded, coax operates from DC to...
What Are Low Power RF Terminations?
There are often occasions with RF signal chains where it is desirable to prevent the RF energy in that signal chain from either continuing along the signal chain or from exiting a given port. Given the nature of RF transmission lines, a simple short or open port will result in undesirable reflections and even signal emissions. Hence, it is often crucial to use RF Terminations to safely and...
