Did you know that the N-Type connector, a cornerstone of RF technology, has its roots in the 1940s? Originally designed for the U.S. Navy, this versatile connector has adapted to meet modern demands across telecommunications, defense, and high-frequency testing. The world of coaxial connectors has evolved into a vast array of types and standards, each
The evolution of 5G technology has brought immense benefits—but also unprecedented challenges—particularly in the field of RF testing and measurement. As new technologies like millimeter wave, beamforming, and ultra-wideband become essential to 5G, traditional testing methods are no longer sufficient. Over-the-air (OTA) testing is now central to ensuring performance and compliance with 5G NR standards.

The BNC (Bayonet Neill-Concelman) connector is a staple in RF applications, known for its quick-connect/disconnect feature. Introduced in the 1940s, BNC connectors are commonly used for frequencies up to 4 GHz.
In the realm of high-frequency applications, the SMP (SubMiniature Push-on) connector stands out for its compact design and impressive performance. Operating up to 40 GHz, SMP connectors are ideal for applications requiring high-density packaging and reliable signal integrity.
When working with RF systems, two key performance indicators often come up—VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) and Return Loss. Though closely related, these two terms describe signal reflections in different ways. Understanding both is essential for evaluating signal integrity and optimizing RF transmission lines. 📈 What Is VSWR? VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio) is a
