Innovative Custom Solutions for Advanced RF Cable Assemblies

July 02, 2024

SV Microwave has established itself as a leader in RF cable assembly solutions, offering innovative products designed to meet the unique challenges faced by RF engineers and designers. Our solutions are tailored to maximize signal integrity, minimize insertion loss, and address complex cable assembly runs. This article will discuss three of our advanced solutions: Semi-Rigid Cable Assemblies, Circular Multiport Cable Assembly Connection System, and ConvergeRF Cable Assembly Solutions.

 

Semi-Rigid Cable Assemblies

When isolation and insertion loss are critical, SV Microwave’s Semi-Rigid Cable Assemblies are ideal. These assemblies offer superior isolation and the lowest insertion loss compared to other cables of similar size. The solid, seamless metal tube construction allows them to retain their bent configuration, facilitating easy installation in high-density applications with complex cable runs. 

Semi-Rigid Cable Assemblies

Key features include:

- Optimal Performance: Best isolation and insertion loss.
- Precision: Accurate and consistent assemblies matching customer specifications.
- Applications: Test equipment, aerospace/defense, wireless, and medical sectors, including VNA, fighter jets, and missiles.
Our expertise ensures the delivery of highly accurate cable assemblies that precisely match the customer-supplied drawings.

 

Circular Multiport Connection System

SV Microwave’s Circular Multiport Connection System addresses the need for high-density, durable connections that simplify and secure multiple blind-mate connections. This system reduces the number of matings required and minimizes tooling needs, creating up to five RF connections simultaneously.

Circular Multiport Connection System
Key benefits include:

- High-Density Design: SMPM/SMPS connectors are incorporated into a single multiport, reducing footprint.
- Durability: Rugged, abrasion-resistant, lightweight materials suitable for field use.
- Customization: Fully customizable insert arrangement, interface configuration, cable length, and connector types.
Applications span high-vibration environments, military and aerospace, test and instrumentation, and airborne radar.

 

ConvergeRF Cable Assembly Solutions

ConvergeRF is an innovative solution that addresses the challenges of long, complex cable runs that require tight routing and turns. Traditional solutions force a trade-off between flexibility and insertion loss. ConvergeRF, however, combines both advantages by splicing together smaller-diameter, flexible cables with a larger-diameter, low-loss cables.

 

ConvergeRF Cable Assembly Solutions
Key advantages include:

- Flexibility and Low Loss: Splicing smaller flexible cables with larger low-loss cables.
- Reduction of Interfaces: Minimizes handling and performance degradation using fewer interfaces.
- Customization: Adaptable to any situation with tailored lengths and configurations.
This solution is ideal for “in-the-box” applications and embedded system chassis where space is limited and routing is complex.

 

SV Microwave stands out as a creative leader in RF cable assembly solutions due to our commitment to innovation and customization. Our team of Applications Engineers works closely with customers to develop tailored solutions that precisely meet their needs. Whether enhancing signal integrity, minimizing insertion loss, or managing complex cable assemblies, SV Microwave provides the expertise and technology required for success.
