WITH the increase in demand for high reliability microwave cable assemblies, Precision Measurements has developed metal-jacketed microwave cables using high purity silicon dioxide which resists temperatures in excess of 900°C.2 cable -- superior to PTFE." style="WIDTH: 200px;" />
Special processing, developed by Precision Measurements, has resulted in low dielectric constant microwave cable which can be operated in excess of 20GHz and provide a low insertion loss and VSWR.
Specially formulated glass is used in manufacturing microwave connectors which are used in manufacturing microwave cable assemblies which provide a low loss and resistance to extreme temperatures.
The cable assemblies are completely hermetic and provide the best choice for hostile environments.
The performance of silicon dioxide microwave cable is superior to cables manufactured using PTFE.
Where all Teflon insulated cables change their electrical performance in extreme temperatures, silicon dioxide microwave cable remains stable, indicating an insignificant change in insertion loss and a very small change in phase as a function of temperature.
These unique characteristics provide a solution for precision measurements microwave cable assemblies to be used in various types of aircraft, radars, decoys and electronic counter measure systems.
