Coaxial cable assembly suitable for fixed wiring inside and between equipment used in the microwave band up to 100GHz (continuous operating temperature range: -30 to +85°C).
These cables have excellent formability (shape-retention capability) that make wiring work easy and exhibit superior loss characteristics compared to semi-rigid cables. Standard connectors are SMA (m) straight connectors, although other connectors can be used as required.

-
High power capability: +/- 200V, 17A.
-
Minimum pulse width: 200ns.
-
Modular design which enables multiple configurations.
-
Shared library. The MPIV can be used as a standalone instrument using an ActiveX library, which easily integrates into existing test software.
-
Flexible Input/Output. Choose between high power and high precision pulse modules to create a customized setup for your specific application.
-
Compatible with Focus Microwaves’ device characterization software (Load Pull Explorer, LPEx)

Built to Southwest Microwave’s rigorous performance and quality standards, the 1.0mm connectors are rugged and durable, featuring a 360° raised grounding ring and operational temperature rating of -55°C to +165°C. 1.0mm connectors provide mode-free operation through 110 GHz, offering well-matched impedance, excellent repeatability, and the industry’s lowest VSWR (1.2:1), insertion loss (0.6 dB), and RF leakage (≤ -100 dB).
