Reach-Line fixed attenuators cover DC to 110 GHz and 1 W to 1000 W. Fine-tune signals, protect components, and ensure repeatable tests in demanding RF applications.

Discover Reach-Line high-frequency cable assemblies up to 67 GHz with low VSWR for 5G, satellite, defense and test systems worldwide.

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

Radar systems are essential to modern detection and ranging technologies, widely used in aerospace, defense, automotive, weather monitoring, and beyond. But what exactly is radar, and how do radar frequency bands work? Let’s dive in. 🧭 What Is Radar? RADAR stands for Radio Detection And Ranging. It works by transmitting electromagnetic waves through space and

Overview SMA (SubMiniature version A) connectors and adapters are essential components in RF testing and high-frequency applications. Engineered for reliability and high performance, our precision SMA family supports a wide frequency range and is available in both stainless steel and gold-plated copper versions. These components are ideal for test environments demanding both durability and signal

With options like SMA, N-Type, and 2.92mm available, picking the right one feels complex and mistakes can be costly. SMA is common up to 18 GHz, N-Type is larger and robust for power/outdoor use up to 11-18 GHz, while 2.92mm offers precision performance up to 40 GHz and is mechanically compatible with SMA. Selecting the

Introduction to VSWR Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) is a critical parameter in RF (Radio Frequency) systems, indicating how effectively power is transferred from a source to a load. It measures the ratio of the maximum to the minimum voltage in a standing wave formed by reflected and transmitted signals.

If you are a newcomer in the RF industry, it must be difficult to distinguish VSWR and return loss. The following is a comparison table of VSWR and return loss. 

SMA Connectors/Adapters and cable assembly, are widely used for testing. We have the stainless steel version and the copper with gold plating version.
