Gore-Flight® Microwave Assemblies Qualified Performance

Provided is a summary of qualification testing for GORE-FLIGHT® Microwave Assemblies versus applicable mil standards. When test results of GORE-FLIGHT® Microwave Assemblies exceed the standard, this has also been specified. The test levels should not be considered the limit of the cable performance, only the limit of testing undertaken. Further specific testing can be conducted depending on a customer’s requirements.
