Constant and/or highly repetitive cable movement can compromise the measurement precision of high-performance vector network analyzers (VNAs). With the most precise measurements, GORE VNA Microwave/RF Test Assemblies from W. L. Gore & Associates set the industry standard for VNAs through 70 GHz. They’re specifically engineered for metrology and critical test and measurement applications. Leading manufacturers choose our test assemblies because of the improved performance they see in their equipment.

Offering reliable electrical performance, GORE® Microwave/RF Assemblies for General Purpose use in semiconductor test and aerospace and defense test environments are designed for applications that require a consistent and reliable signal from point A to point B. Manufactured by W. L. Gore & Associates, these RF cable assemblies deliver strong signal integrity with low loss over long distances, feature proven phase and amplitude stability and are available with a variety of standard connectors. We offer microwave/RF general purpose solutions in the following versions:

Gore provides high-performance cable assemblies with significant mechanical and electrical advantages for high-flex applications in aerospace and defense, spaceflight, semiconductor, and test and measurement environments.

Designed for test applications that depend on accurate, repeatable measurements, W. L. Gore & Associates offers GORE® PHASEFLEX® Microwave/RF Test Assemblies, which provide excellent mechanical durability and electrical performance. Our RF cable assemblies not only feature a rugged construction that prolongs service life, but they also offer high phase and amplitude stability for high-density and modular test applications at an affordable price. To optimize the performance of the assembly even further, they can also be paired with Gore’s available connectors.

If you determine that your system may be affected by PIM distortion, there are a few basic guidelines you can use to minimize PIM generation.

GORE® Spaceflight Cables are engineered to withstand the severe levels of radiation found in many satellite applications.

Unless otherwise specified, every GORE® Microwave/RF Coaxial Assembly is 100% tested, inspected, and certified to meet the acceptance requirements contained in all applicable specifications, whether stated in literature or in pre-approved customer contracts.

For both Spaceflight and Non-Spaceflight applications.
