Radio frequency connector insertion loss measured from 300 KHz Until 8.5 GHz by using network analyzer and mechanical calibration kits

In the design stage, an RF connector defaulted as lossless in a complex working system. However, RF connectors exist in varying types and dimensions that are technically identified as a delay line. In the high precision and accuracy measurement test system, an RF connector itself is considered as th...
