為無線系統選擇射頻連接器

　　“無線”系統的爆炸式增長導致了射頻連接器及其相關電纜的同時使用。這些組件日益成為多個電路板、天線和前端之間以及功率放大器（PAS）和天線之間的重要聯系。它們有助于諸如蜂窩電話、無線數據網絡和先進雷達和電子戰（EW）系統等無線設備和系統的運作。

　　射頻系統連接器傳輸信號從一個地方到另一個簡單而重要的任務，很少或沒有變化的信號（雖然在現實中即使有天線連接器和天線工程師經常因素損失0.2分貝/同軸連接器除了電纜衰減本身之間的高質量的射頻電纜）。

　　There are a variety of connectors that are used for RF applications. Among the parameters that determine the best type for a given application are frequency range， Impedance， physical size， power handling， and cost. Recently， long-established connector types， such as the venerable BNC and the SO-239/PL-259， are being supplanted by connectors tuned to the priority characteristics of the latest wireless mass-market designs： smaller， designed only for low power， and providing excellent performance at 1 GHz+. The older connectors are not obsolete： they still are used in test equipment， rack and chassis designs， and installed base/legacy products.
