Coaxial cables are arguably the most common RF/microwave physical interconnect technology. Outside of waveguides and planar interconnect, coaxial cable assemblies are one of the few proven methods of reliably connecting RF/microwave/millimeter-wave networks. Given the diverse range of applications for coaxial cable assemblies, these cables are not one-size-fits-all. There are a variety of different coaxial cable ..

Passive intermodulation distortion (PIM) is phenomenon that degrades communication system performance in virtually all DAS and cellular installations. The severity of PIM, and the measures necessary to mitigate PIM depend on the system design, materials, environment, transmit power, and the systems sensitivity to PIM. Single frequency and narrow band communications technologies tend to be less ..
