SUCOFLEX Microwave Test Assemblies
HUBER+SUHNER’s SUCOFLEX microwave test assemblies are high-performance coaxial cable solutions engineered for precise and repeatable measurements in demanding RF and microwave test environments.
These assemblies are available with various connector types, including 3.5 mm, 2.4 mm, and 1.85 mm straight male plugs, supporting frequencies up to 70 GHz depending on the configuration.
Key Features
-
Frequency Range: Assemblies are available for applications up to 26.5 GHz (3.5 mm), 50 GHz (2.4 mm), and 70 GHz (1.85 mm).
-
Impedance: Standard 50 Ω, suitable for most RF/microwave systems.
-
Phase and Amplitude Stability: High stability with flexure and movement, with amplitude stability as tight as ±0.05 dB and phase stability up to ±10°.
-
Time Delay Matching: Absolute time delay matched to ±1 ps, ensuring precise synchronization in multi-channel setups.
-
Return Loss & VSWR: Excellent return loss (minimum 14–19 dB) and low VSWR (as low as 1.253), contributing to signal integrity.
-
Insertion Loss: Low insertion loss, ranging from 1.18 dB to 6.48 dB depending on frequency and length.
-
Mechanical Robustness: Durable with static bending radii from 11 mm to 25.4 mm and cable diameters between 3.3 mm and 7.7 mm.
-
Environmental Range: Operational from -55 °C to 125 °C for most variants, with some specified for -40 °C to 85 °C.
Applications
These assemblies are ideal for laboratory, production, and field test environments requiring high accuracy, repeatability, and reliability. They are especially suited for phase-matched and time-critical measurements in advanced RF and microwave systems, supporting both current and next-generation test requirements.
