What is return loss in an RF Connector?

As an RF Coaxial Connector Factory, share information with you. 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 VSWR, 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.

Return loss basics

Return loss is defined as the power loss in a signal that is returned / reflected by discontinuities in a transmission line or fiber. This is usually expressed in decibels.

In other words, if all power is transferred to the load, there will be infinite return loss. Conversely, if the terminal is open or shorted, all power will be restored and there will be no return loss.

Return loss is a return loss that is widely used to evaluate items such as the input characteristics of RF components, or when measuring network characteristics using a vector network analyzer. Therefore, return loss is important.

MCX Male Plug Right Angle Crimp

MCX Male Plug Right Angle Crimp is widely used, the following explains the features and advantages of MCX connector

1. MCX connector is a plug-in connector, which is easy to plug in and replace. Improved many production processes

2. The MCX connector will fail after long-term insertion and removal. If it fails, you can quickly replace the failed connector.

3. MCX connector application equipment is also easy to upgrade. With the advancement of technology, MCX connector is convenient for equipment upgrades when the equipment with connector is updated.

4. MCX connector design flexibility, when engineers design and update products, and when using components to form a system, MCX connectors have greater flexibility than other connectors.

5. MCX connector is a push-in connection structure, small size, convenient and fast RF coaxial connector. The characteristic impedance of the MCX connector is 50Ω and 75Ω, and there are connections with impedance requirements.

RF coaxial connector naming method of RF coaxial connector model The name of the RF coaxial connector model consists of two parts: the main code and the structure code, separated by a short horizontal line "-" in the middle. The main name of the RF connector is the internationally used main name, and the naming of different structural forms of specific products is specified by detailed specifications. Structure form code The structure of the RF connector. Our company also has FAKRA Short Male Connector on sale, welcome to consult.
