The impact of connectors on RF test results is complex and unpredictable, with test equipment often unable to fully compensate, emphasizing the crucial need for a valid test environment.

Test fixtures are often used in high-speed digital measurements to connect devices to measurement equipment. Analyzing in both time and frequency domains reduces the influence of these fixtures. 

Radio frequency (RF) technology plays a critical role in military vehicle applications, providing essential communication, navigation, and targeting capabilities.

This article marks the first in a short series on connector selection, testing, placement, and many other aspects of connectors that are sometimes overlooked.

To kick off this series, Knowles Precision Devices breaks down the basic properties, impacting capacitor and inductor performance including resistance, capacitance, inductance, and impedance.

Engineers designing space vehicle cabled systems navigate mechanical and environmental challenges using diverse coaxial cable options to balance electrical and mechanical performance effectively.

Connector systems with integrated microchips, including EEPROMs, enable seamless device pairing, real-time connection monitoring, mating cycle count, and electronic device identification.

With the digital modulation methods and pulsed modes used in modern communications, the demand for accurate, reliable, and efficient RF power measurements continues to grow for next-generation systems.

Coaxial switch customers require a variety of options for reliable switching in repeatable, high-power, extreme temperature, or custom switches.
