The development trend of RF Coaxial Connectors

As an RF Coaxial N Type Connector Factory, share with you. When purchasing RF coaxial connectors, not only should you care about the price, but more importantly, you should consider the basic properties of the connector: mechanical properties, electrical properties, and environmental performance. Another important mechanical property is the mechanical life of the connector. Mechanical life is actually an index of durability, which is called mechanical operation in the national standard GB5095. It takes one insertion and one extraction as a cycle, and judges whether the connector can normally complete its connection function after a specified insertion and removal cycle.

Mechanical behavior

The processing methods of various components in the manufacturing process determine the mechanical and electrical properties of the RF connector. Considering the mechanical properties, the quantity and scale of production should also be considered. It is important to study the reasons why certain performance is not met, and this analysis helps to avoid the next error.

On the other hand, the smaller the MCX Connector, the more difficult it is to manufacture, the higher the manufacturing cost, and the worse the accuracy and error. In future industrial applications, the demand for small, excellent, and inexpensive electronic components will continue to grow.

Development trend:

1. Miniaturization: With the miniaturization of the whole system, the volume of RF connectors is getting smaller and smaller, such as SSMB, MMCX and other series, the volume is very small.

2. High frequency: HP has launched RF connectors with a frequency of 110GHz as early as a few years ago. The frequency of domestic common products does not exceed 40GHz. Flexible cable use frequency does not exceed 10GHz, semi-rigid cable does not exceed 20GHz.

3. Multi-function: In addition to functioning as a bridge, it also has functions for processing signals, such as filtering, phase adjustment, frequency mixing, attenuation, detection, and amplitude limiting.

4, low standing wave, low loss: to meet the needs of weapon systems and precision measurement.

5. Large capacity and high power: Large capacity and high power are mainly adapted to the development needs of the information superhighway.

6. Surface mount: It mainly meets the development needs of SMT technology and is helpful for simplifying the wiring structure design of multilayer printed boards.

What is return loss in RF connectors?

Return loss is the power loss of a signal that is returned/reflected due to discontinuities in the transmission line or fiber. Return loss is a quantity often used in RF circuits where impedance matching is important. Return loss is the proportion of signals reflected due to impedance mismatch.

The return loss method is similar to the VSWR of the voltage standing wave ratio, but it is widely used in applications that do not use feeders or they are very short compared to the wavelength, so the concept of standing waves is not applicable.

In general, return loss is used in circuit applications, and VSWR is used in conjunction with feeder/transmission lines.
