Precision test cable assemblies that provide low loss and high performance at 110 GHz are hard to come by. Now add the requirement for true flexibility and they become even more difficult to obtain. Gore, a producer of precision microwave cable and cable assemblies, has now introduced the GORE™...

Builders and users of RF/microwave cable assemblies must specify and guarantee the performance of their cables for characteristics such as return loss, insertion loss, phase stability and VSWR. Cables must be 100 per cent tested in order to ensure specification compliance and optimum performance. Typically, critical measurements such as...

Times Microwave Systems has expanded the range of “EZ” style, two-piece coax connectors for its popular LMR240 low loss coax cable. It has also released a series of attachment tools to make field attachment of connectors on LMR-240 cable easy and reliable. LMR-240 is a 0.240" diameter, low loss...

Generally speaking microwave and RF connectors tend to be viewed as simple, uncomplicated components. What is often overlooked, however, is that there are special applications requiring special connectors that have specific properties and characteristics. A prime example is Radiall’s range of non-magnetic RF coaxial connectors that have applications primarily...
