Understanding and choosing GHz-range coaxial connectors and cable assemblies
BNC connector, are no longer adequate due to their physical bulk and performance limits. To meet the many challenges of today’s designs, engineers can choose from among many specific types available in several major families, each offering some combination of higher bandwidth, less bulk, and the use of thinner coaxial cables. These connectors are available in a wide variety of pc board termination styles as well as cable termination types to
Radio frequency (RF) connectors and their completed coaxial (coax) cable assemblies provide essential signal pathways between circuit boards, subassemblies, and chassis. An appropriate connector will at least provide the required minimum electrical performance and mechanical ruggedness. However, the RF connector families which have served for many years, including the bayonet-attachment
