Selection of Between Series RF Adapters
Between Series Adapters are the passive components which are used to transfer signals from one coaxial connector interface to another with minimal losses. Between-Series Coaxial Adapters as the name suggests transitions between two different connector types, so could be from SMA to N-Type or from BNC to SMA. An In-Series adapter is one that has the same connector type i.e could be SMA to SMA or BNC to BNC.
The performance of between series adapters is measured with respect to their operating frequency range, insertion loss, return loss/ VSWR, maximum power-handling capability, and the materials used like Stainless steel, Aluminum, or Gold-plated brass.
Here are some important parameters of Between Series Adapters, which will help find an adapter that meets your requirement.
- Adapter Interface: Adapters have two connector interfaces, one of each side. Based on the requirement, you need to select the connector interface on each side of the adapter – Can be SMA, N, BNC TNC etc.
- Adapter Gender: This would be the gender of the connector interface. Again this would need to be selected for each connector interface – Can be Male or Female.
- Geometry: It tells you about the physical appearance of the adapter, whether it Straight or Right angle.
- Mounting Style: Mounting is the way of providing mechanical support to the adapter. It could be bulkhead, panel-mount, flange-based, etc.
