Dust Caps, Opens
-
These coaxial dust caps are used for protective purposes, both from the environment & contaminants. Note: SMA, 2.92, 3.5mm dust caps are the same, as the threads are the same. Likewise, 2.4mm & 1.85mm dust caps are the same, the threads being the same. Some people use opens for calibration purposes at low frequencies, but these opens are not VNA rated, we don't measure fringing capacitance etc.

Waveguides
-
A waveguide attenuator is an RF device specifically designed to reduce the power of a signal without affecting or reducing the waveform of the signal.

Connectors
-
We feature high performance coaxial connectors, including smp bullets. Also edge launch 2.92mm & 2.4mm connectors. & We've just started offering connectors that can be used to make cable assemblies. SMA Conectors are available for cables, and we also have sma connectors -thread in style.

DC Blocks
-
Coaxial DC Blocks allow the transmission of RF signals while blocking DC signals, usually using a blocking capacitor. We feature SMA DC blocks, 2.92mm DC Blocks, 1.85mm DC Blocks, BNC DC Blocks, TNC DC Blocks, and Type N DC Blocks. DC blocks can block the inner conductor, outer conductor, or both; hence there are "inner" dc blocks, "outer" dc blocks, and "inner/outer" dc blocks. These Coaxial DC Blocks are frequently used in Satellite Systems where a control voltage is passed along with the RF signal, and the coaxial dc block protects equipment. The BNC DC block uses a precision bnc to get to 4ghz. The C0927 SMA DC Block uses dual parallel capacitors to achieve its broad bandwidth, its ideal for EO & NRZ systems.

Impedance Matching Pads
-
These impedance matching pads are resistive networks that can be used to match 2 devices with different nominal impedances. The resistive network used in these impedance matching pads has a 5.7db theoritical insertion loss; true loss is 5.7db plus the normal other losses. common use is to connect 50 ohm sma's to 75 ohm f's. There are also 75 ohm versons of N's, BNC's, & SMA's.

Cable Assemblies
-
We offer a variety of cables covering DC to 110Ghz. Cable assemblies from 0-6Ghz we usually build in our Quick Turn Cable Assembly Shop, delivery is 1-2 days. We also offer some Low Loss Phase Stable from our quick turn shop; but some of the precision cables can take longer.

Power Dividers
-
We currently offer coaxial resistive power dividers (aka power splitters), which are inherently broadband and have excellent low frequency response (0!) albeit with poor isolation; and also Wilkinson Power dividers, aka Wilkinson Splitters. We have as connector options SMA, N, 1.95mm, & 2.92mm. Our power dividers cover DC-70Ghz. While most of our power dividers are 2-ways, we also have 3, 4, & 8 way dividers. The resistive power splitters are implemented with tiny resistors. Wilkinson splitters can be microstrip or stripline. RF Power Dividers are often lumped element, Microwave Power Dividers are often microstrip.

Torque Wrenches
-
Recommended torque for various connectors has changed slightly through the years, current standards often being slightly less than before. The recommended torque depends upon whether a connector is stainless steel or brass. The SMA recommended torques have the most variables, with stainless steel sma's for final installation being 8-10 in-lbs, preferably 8; stainless steel sma's in the test lab are best tested at 5 in-lbs to preserve the sma; & brass sma's are 4 in-lbs. Most of these torque wrenches are "ours" however we also carry the Huber Suhner sma torque wrenches, the 74Z-0-0-21 & 74Z-0-0-79 as they're so popular. Our torque wrenches are preset to specific values.
