HIGH-POWER COAXIAL CABLE ASSEMBLIES FOR RF APPLICATIONS
Gwave Technology offers a robust portfolio of coaxial cable assemblies designed for radio frequency applications. These assemblies provide a reliable way to transmit RF signals from one connection to another within a system. Custom cable assemblies are also available when standard configurations do not meet specific design requirements.
Our tested flexible coaxial cable assemblies can offer low-loss and phase-stable performance, making them suitable for applications where signal integrity and consistency are important, including test and measurement environments.
WIDE-RANGING APPLICATIONS OF COAXIAL CABLE ASSEMBLIES
Gwave Technology offers coaxial assemblies in different sizes, configurations, and connector options, including GPPO cable assemblies and micro coaxial cable assemblies. They are commonly used to connect printed circuit boards to other boards, provide I/O connections, and connect external antennas to wireless modules.
With different design options available, coaxial cable assemblies can be selected to meet the specific requirements of various RF, microwave, telecommunications, aerospace, and testing applications. End-launch connectors are also available for applications requiring dependable PCB-to-coaxial connectivity.
Whether you need a standard configuration or a solution tailored to your system, Gwave Technology provides a range of cable assemblies designed around demanding RF connectivity requirements.
SEMI-FLEXIBLE CABLE VS. SEMI-RIGID CABLE: SELECTING AN RF CABLE ASSEMBLY
Choosing an RF cable assembly involves more than selecting a cable that fits your equipment. Flexibility, frequency, routing requirements, connector compatibility, and installation conditions can all affect the suitability of a cable.
Gwave Technology offers high-frequency cable solutions designed for demanding RF and microwave applications, helping users select assemblies according to their system requirements.
SEMI-FLEX AND HAND-FORMABLE CABLE FOR FLEXIBLE RF ROUTING
For applications that need flexibility but at the same time need to maintain consistent signal transmission, then semi-flex cables would be suitable. It can be routed around components and adjusted during installation while maintaining a controlled connection.
A hand-formable cable provides greater flexibility for precise routing. It can be shaped manually to follow the layout of equipment, making it useful in compact systems and applications where installation space is limited.
When selecting between these options, consider:
- Choose semi-flex designs when moderate routing flexibility is required.
- Select hand-formable cables when customized routing around components is important.
- Check connector type and frequency requirements before installation.
- Consider cable dimensions and available installation space.
WHEN TO USE CRYOGENIC, SEMI-RIGID, OR ARMORED CABLE ASSEMBLIES
Different operating environments call for different cable constructions. The right choice depends on temperature, flexibility, mechanical protection, frequency, and installation requirements.
Cryogenic cable assemblies are designed for applications involving extremely low operating temperatures. Semi-rigid cables are useful when stable routing and consistent RF performance are important. Armored cable assembly provides additional mechanical protection where cables may experience physical stress or demanding installation conditions.
Before choosing an assembly, consider:
- Operating temperature
- Required flexibility
- Mechanical protection
- Frequency and signal requirements
- Available installation space
- Connector compatibility
COMPARING SMA CABLE AND 1.0MM CABLE FOR HIGH-FREQUENCY APPLICATIONS
Choice of connector is more important when frequencies become higher. SMA cable assemblies can be found in use in many radio frequency and microwave systems and provide an ideal connectivity solution for a lot of applications.
Whereas 1.0mm cable assemblies have been developed to operate at a higher frequency, signal accuracy and quality are important considerations here. Selection of one or the other depends on the frequency, connector, cable, and design needs of the system.
