RF Adapters
RF adapters are used to connect different waveguides
and/or coaxial types. They are passive devices that direct
radio frequency (RF) signals with minimal return loss.
There are three main types of RF adapters: coaxial,
waveguide, and coaxial/waveguide. Coaxial RF adapters
connect two different types of coaxial cable, or terminate a coaxial port. Waveguide RF adapters connect two
different types of waveguides, or terminate a waveguide port. Coaxial / waveguide adapters connect a coaxial
cable to a waveguide, or vice-versa.

Product specifications to consider when selecting RF adapters include frequency range, maximum input power,

voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR), return loss, and adapter style. VSWR is a measure of the amount of RF

power reflected back to the signal source because of impedance mismatches. Styles for RF adapters include

straight jack-jack, straight jack-plug, straight plug-plug, angled jack-jack, angled jack-plug, angled plug-plug,

jack-jack-jack tee, plug-plug-plug tee, plug-jack-plug tee, jack-jack-plug tee, and plug-plug-jack tee.
