The test frequency range will be one of the determining factors of the connector style you select along with L1 Insertion Loss Stability < +/- 0.15 dB < +/- 0.15 dB +/- 0.15 dB +/- 0.25 dB +/- 0.75 dB +/- 1.5 dB measurement accuracy, consistency and measurement stability are a top priority. Rmor assemblies may often be used in place of cable style and your test equipment (VNA, Spectrum analyzer, ampliers, etc.). The SMA and type N connectors are rated for 18 1 Phase Stability < +/- 4 Deg < +/- 4 Deg < +/- 4 Deg < +/- 6 Deg < +/- 8 Deg < +/- 10 Deg much more expensive VNA cable assemblies. Ghz. The 3.5mm connector are rated to 26.5 Ghz and the 2.92mm connector are rated to 40 Ghz. Finally, the 2.4mm connector is Return Loss Stability < / = 0.5 dB < / = 0.5 dB < / = 0.5 dB < / = 1 dB < / = 2.0 dB < / = 3.0 dB rated to 50 Ghz. All of the connectors used in the R-Mor for Test cable assemblies are metrology grade and made from precision Rmor cable assemblies for test are armored with a highly-exible steel spiral construction ensuring high crush resistance and L2 Insertion Loss Stability < +/- 0.15 dB < +/- 0.05 dB < +/- 0.05 dB < +/- 0.20 dB < +/- 0.5 dB machined stainless steel. durability while affording very high exibility.

In addition 1 Phase Stability < +/- 3 Deg < +/- 3 Deg < +/- 4 Deg < +/- 6 Deg < +/- 8 Deg to the low-loss nature of the cable assemblies and their highly durable armor, each assembly has been measured and characterized Next, after frequency range is determined, how long of a cable assembly do you require Do you require a relatively short cable Return Loss Stability < / = 0.5 dB < / = 0.5 dB < / =1 dB < / = 2.0 dB < / = 3.0 dB that data that is included with each assembly that you purchase. assembly (18) or perhaps one that is 48 Please refer to table 4 in this brochure for a comparison of insertion loss, connector type, L4 Insertion Loss Stability < +/- 0.05 dB < +/- 0.05 dB < +/- 0.2 dB < +/- 0.5 dB cable style and frequency range. Generally, the larger diameter of cable, the lower the insertion loss, but the lower the top frequency of 1 Phase Stability < +/- 1 Deg < +/- 3 Deg < +/- 4 Deg < +/- 6 Deg RF performance of Rmor assemblies is available in four main frequency bands of 18 Ghz, 26.5 Ghz, 40 Ghz and 50 Ghz with four operation. Occasionally, a balance will have to be struck between cable size, connector type and assembly length. For instance, at 10 Return Loss Stability < / = 0.5 dB < / = 1 dB < / =2.0 dB < / = 3.0 dB lengths available 18, 24 ,36 and 48. Connector types, mirroring the frequency ranges above, are Rosenbergers Precision Ghz, one could easily use an L1-style cable with a 2.4mm connector at 18 in length (insertion loss ~1.05 dB, but if you switched to a SMA, 3.5mm, 2.92mm (K type) and 2.4mm. The Rmor cable assemblys connectors are all constructed using Rosenbergers Notes: (1) All phase stability specications are for phase stability when the cable is wrapped around a 5 Cm diameter mandrel. (2) All measurements at 25 C. 3.5mm L4 assembly, your assembly insertion loss would only be 0.61 dB at 10 Ghz. Please refer to Table 1 for the appropriate part Insertion Loss stability methods are Natural Curl, Method 1. Phase stability verses temperature, for all of the above cable styles, is 1500 PPM from 0C to 60C. well-known high quality standards. All connectors for the Rmor test family have stainless steel outer conductors, ensuring a number.
