Part 1 of this FAQ look at the coaxial cables used in microwave/millimeter wave interconnects and cable assemblies. But a cable alone is only half a solution; the cable must be terminated with connectors. Often, the completed cable/interconnect assembly is also called a cable, but this is generally not an ambiguous situation (but it may […]

Microwave/Millimeter Wave interconnects, Part 1: Coaxial cables
Cables, connectors, and interconnects (cable assemblies) are essential yet often underappreciated parts of a system design. Even though the popular meme is “everything is going wireless” thus eliminating the need for cable assemblies, the reality is that these assemblies are critical both within circuits at either end of a wireless link, or as the only […]
