PHASE-STABLE CABLES SERVE USES TO 50 GHZ

NETWORK analysis places some of the tightest constraints on the design of coaxial test cables and connectors. During the course of a measurement, these cable assemblies are flexed into different shapes to make connections with test fixtures and associated measurement hardware, such as attenuators, bridges, and couplers. Precision cables must undergo this type of flexing while maintaining predictable amplitude and phase behavior. To satisfy all of these requirements in network-analysis measurements to 50 GHz, MICRO-COAX (Collegeville, PA) has introduced its UTiFLEX UFA 125A flexible microwave cable assemblies.
