Product Description:
16089A is a high-precision RF/microwave test cable assembly from Tektronix. It covers an ultra-wide frequency range from DC to 40 GHz, with the characteristic impedance precisely controlled at 50 Ω. The voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) is as low as 1.2:1 (typical value, below 18 GHz), and the insertion loss is only 0.3 dB/m (typical value, at 10 GHz). It uses flexible low-loss coaxial cable, paired with high-precision SMA male/female connectors (optional), with gold plating on the connector surface (thickness ≥ 5 μm). It has excellent signal transmission stability and corrosion resistance. It is compatible with Tektronix's RF test equipment such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and signal generators, meeting the high-frequency signal transmission and testing requirements in fields like communication, semiconductor, and aerospace, especially suitable for testing scenarios with strict requirements for signal integrity.
Product Features:
Ultra-wideband low-loss transmission: Full frequency band coverage from DC to 40 GHz, insertion loss as low as 0.3 dB/m (at 10 GHz), effectively reducing attenuation of high-frequency signals during transmission, ensuring complete transmission of weak RF signals or high-frequency signals, and meeting diverse testing requirements from low frequency to microwave frequency bands.
High signal integrity: Precise control of characteristic impedance at 50 Ω, VSWR as low as 1.2:1 (typical value below 18 GHz), significantly reducing signal reflection, minimizing standing wave interference, avoiding signal distortion caused by impedance mismatch, and ensuring the authenticity and accuracy of the signal waveform during testing.
