SMA, 3.5 mm and 2.92 mm connectors make reliable, RF components and instrumentation possible. These seemingly mundane devices are the result of evolutionary and revolutionary design, covering a 40-year period and involving several corporations. In their present state, they represent highly evolved, well-defined interface systems.

Shielding effectiveness of microwave cable assemblies: Why is it important? How does it impact system performance? What makes a “good shield” good and a “bad shield” bad? In this article, we will examine cable assembly construction and show an example of the shielding effectiveness of airframe cable assemblies.
