What is an RF Detector?
RF Detectors, or RF Signal Detectors, are simply devices that are able to give some type of indication that RF energy has somehow been coupled into the device. There are a wide variety of RF detector implementations, as well as thousands of knock-off “bug detectors” or “bug sniffers.” Of concern to RF engineers are RF detectors that are able to absorb RF energy within a desired frequency...
All About Waveguide to Coaxial Adapters
Outside of board-level RF interconnect, waveguides and coaxial interconnect are the most common types of RF interconnect. Waveguides are typically used with higher power, higher fidelity, and higher frequency banded applications. Coaxial transmission line interconnect is much more common in many applications as it is more readily fabricated into flexible or semi-flexible sections, and still...
