- Engineering InsightsShielded vs unshielded connectorsA shield only improves electromagnetic compatibility when it is continuous from cable to housing to panel, with low impedance at the frequencies that matter. This article explains how foil and braid shields work, what transfer impedance measures, why 360° termination outperforms pigtails, how to approach shield grounding, and when an unshielded connection is the better engineering choice.
- Product KnowledgeRF connector selection and signal integrityHow impedance, connector family, return loss, insertion loss and passive intermodulation determine the performance of a coaxial link. A practical guide to choosing RF connectors and cable, reading their specifications and avoiding the mating and handling errors that degrade signal integrity.
