Everyone thinks that the choice of RF connectors is very difficult. Is it true? In fact, as long as you keep in mind eight points, the choice of RF connectors will be very simple. For those customers who don't use RF connectors frequently, I definitely hope that a professional engineer will explain the precautions for the selection of RF connectors. Let's listen to it.
A summary of the precautions for the selection of RF connectors can be summarized into 8 aspects, as follows:
1. The selected RF connector should conform to the actual frequency range used
2. Under normal circumstances, the electrical performance of the straight RF connector is better than that of the bent type, which can be selected according to the actual use.
3. The selected RF connector should have a smaller standing wave ratio.
4. The selected RF connector should have a smaller insertion loss.
5. The selected RF connector should match the impedance of the matched RF connector or cable.
6. The EMC of the threaded RF connector is better than any bayonet, push-pull RF connector.
7. When there is an IM requirement, the material and plating of the RF connector should be considered.
8. When general-purpose RF connectors meet the requirements, high-performance RF connectors are not used.
