What is an RF Coaxial Probe? In RF applications, transmission lines generally are coaxial cables linked to circuit boards and microstrips within circuit boards. An RF coaxial probe is a measurement device used with electronic test equipment in the measurement of radio frequency (RF) signals in an electronic circuit as found in silicon wafers, dies, ..

Many coaxial connector types are available in the RF and microwave industry designed for specific purposes and applications with smaller connectors that perform into the GHz and millimeter wave range. Compatibility with other RF microwave components is achieved with universally accepted connector standards so that interconnecting coaxial modules within a system is possible and must ..

Coaxial cable is the most commonly used transmission line for RF and microwave applications, because it provides reliable transmission with the benefits of wide bandwidth and low loss and high isolation. Major manufacturers of transmitting equipment, i.e. radio and TV, radar, GPS, emergency management systems, air and marine craft, use coaxial cables. The uses of ..

Beamforming as a Buzzword Beamforming is used for directional signal transmission and reception with the versatility to change both amplitude and phase to help regulate power needs and steer the beam in the intended direction. Bandwidth from 6 to 100 GHz, or millimeter Wave (mmWave), is likely an integral part of future mobile broadband as ..
