Description

The DC – 18 GHz SMA Male to SMPM Female Phase – Stable Super – Flexible Cable Assembly by Vinstronics features a 50 – Ohm SMA male connector at one end and a 50 – Ohm SMPM female connector at the other end. Vinstronics’ W series cable assemblies are specifically engineered to be low – loss, highly flexible, and capable of handling high – power, high – frequency applications.

These assemblies exhibit minimal phase change over temperature and flexure, ensuring consistent performance even under dynamic conditions. With a cable jacket size of 1.5 mm, a static bending radius of 8 mm, and a dynamic bending radius of 15 mm, they offer exceptional mechanical flexibility. The cable has a low attenuation of 4.99 dB/meter at 18 GHz, maintaining signal integrity across its wide frequency range of DC to 18 GHz. The VSWR is tightly controlled at less than 1.25 at 18 GHz, and the time delay is matched within ±1 ps. These cable assemblies are ideal for any scenario requiring phase stability, such as precision test and measurement, aerospace, and defense applications.

Typical Applications

  • Phased array radar
  • Anti-missile defense
  • Electronic warfare
  • 5G testing
  • RF Anechoic Chamber
  • Satellite communication
  • Aerospace and Defense
  • Lab testing
