The coaxial cable is among the most commonly used transmission lines with optimal broadband performance for applications well into the W-band. The use cases for coaxial cable assemblies are numerous and varied in nature. Our whitepaper dives into some of the basics of coaxial cables, their various performance parameters, and the constructional variants within the cable and connector heads.

What is RF Interconnect?

Bottom line: RF interconnects are the backbone of any RF or microwave system because they carry signals from module to module, antenna to transmitter, or measurement equipment to DUT. The right interconnect choice preserves signal integrity by ensuring proper impedance matching, low loss, and stable shielding.

When Production Tests Stop Scaling at Microwave and mmWave Frequencies

As microwave and millimeter-wave products move into production, test systems are strained by higher frequencies, wider bandwidths and dense multi-port architectures. Interconnect loss, calibration drift and fixture sensitivity compound quickly, slowing throughput and undermining measurement integrity.

This white paper examines where automated test systems break down at scale and how production engineers are addressing those limits with phase-stable interconnects, efficient calibration workflows and modular test architectures.

Three predominant use cases for 5G wireless communications are emerging:

The Internet of Things (IoT)/Massive Machine Communications (MMC): Envision a future of fully-automated, robot-enabled factories; connected cars; wearable intelligence; smart, energy-efficient homes with fixed wireless access.

Mission Critical /Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communications (URLLC): Imagine the possibilities for autonomous semi-truck deliveries; remote operating rooms; intelligent power grids; or AR/VR with unstoppable high-bandwidth, low latency connections.

Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB): Expect much faster mobile web access and upload/download speeds, up to 10x.
