This month we will talk about the basics of RF, InstaBend™, and more!
RF Basics - Test and Measurement Applications
|
|
|
Our RF Basics series covers the most common use cases and how to design solutions for different requirements. This month we will discuss Test and Measurement.
|
|
|
|
These applications typically involve a device under test connected to a vector network analyzer (VNA), oscilloscope, or spectrum analyzer. This process may include the test cable assembly, cable, adapters, board-mounted connectors, switch matrices, rack interconnects, production level verification testing, bench level design activity and more.
Repeatability and reproducibility of measurements are key—it is critical to make sure the coaxial cable is not introducing uncertainty to the test. This includes ensuring amplitude (low loss) and phase stability. These test leads must be able to withstand extensive handling as they are connected and disconnected often.

Q: Do Times LMR connectors meet IP-67 sealing requirements?
A: Yes, Times X and D series LMR® connectors meet IP-67 sealing requirements. All X and D series connectors have two protruding ribs on the back end to ensure a good seal to the back of the connector, whether using the adhesive-lined ATUM shrink boot or the molded WSB boot. Both boots engage with the ribs at the back of the connector to create an IP-67 rated seal.
