Product catalog summary
Coaxial Cable Specifications and Characteristics
Frequency Cut-off: The frequency cut-off is determined by the material and dimensions of the coaxial cable, including the outer diameter of the central conductor, the diameter over the dielectric, and the dielectric constant.
Frequency Bands: Standardized frequency bands range from L-band (1-2 GHz) to W-band (75-110 GHz), with corresponding wavelengths in vacuum.
Propagation Velocity: The velocity of wave propagation in a dielectric is calculated using the speed of light and the dielectric constant, expressed in m/s or as a percentage of the speed of light in a vacuum.
Insertion Phase and Electrical Length: The electrical length is the phase difference introduced by wave propagation, influenced by frequency, speed of light, mechanical length, and dielectric constant. Temperature changes can affect the insertion phase.
Phase Matching: Phase matching ensures cables have the same insertion phase within tolerances, requiring high-quality materials and precise manufacturing.
Insertion Loss: Insertion loss is the total loss during signal propagation, increasing with frequency and cable length, and decreasing with larger cable diameters.
Temperature Influence: Temperature variations affect insertion loss, necessitating corrective factors in calculations.
Standing Wave Ratio (SWR): SWR indicates impedance mismatches, characterized by reflection coefficient, return loss, and SWR itself. An ideal SWR is 1, indicating no reflected power.
Shielding Effectiveness: Measures the attenuation of electromagnetic fields by the cable's shield, crucial for preventing emissions.
Power Handling: The maximum power a cable can support without damage, influenced by frequency, ambient temperature, altitude, and connector quality.
Dielectric Breakdown and Corona Effect: Dielectric breakdown is the minimum voltage causing electrical discharge. The corona effect involves ionization of gases in dielectric microcavities, potentially damaging the dielectric.
Flexibility and Bending Radius: Flexibility refers to a cable's ability to bend without breaking. The minimum bending radius is the smallest radius a cable can be bent without damage.
Bending Life: The number of cycles a cable can endure before deterioration, tested under specific conditions.

Sommaire Capacite lineique C en pF/m La capacite lineique d’un cable coaxial correspond a la propriete du materiau a stocker des charges electriques lorsqu’une difference de potentiel est appliquee entre ses deux conducteurs (conducteur central/blindage). Pour un cable coaxial, il existe une relation permettant de calculer sa capacite lineique en fonction du materiau qui le constitue et de ses dimensions : etant la constante dielectrique (fonction du materiau) ; > d etant le diametre exterieur du conducteur central en mm ; > D etant le diametre sur dielectrique en mm ; Zc etant l’impedance caracteristique...

Sommaire Cette valeur est normalisée à 50 Ω et est indépendante de la fréquence : › εr étant la constante diélectrique relative du matériau ; › d étant le diamètre extérieur du conducteur central en mm ; › D étant le diamètre sur diélectrique en mm. Les tolérances de la valeur de l’impédance caractéristique demandées sont en général très serrées. La majorité des produits Axon’ Cable respectent des tolérances de +/- 1 Ω. À fréquence élevée, la densité de courant est concentrée dans une fine couche située en surface des conducteurs. Cette épaisseur devient de plus en plus mince au fur et à mesure...

Sommaire Remarque Dans le cas de câbles coaxiaux hyperfréquences, le courant va circuler principalement sur la zone extérieure du conducteur central et sur la zone intérieure du blindage. Généralement, on estime que dans le domaine des hyperfréquences, la totalité du courant circule dans une épaisseur d’environ 3xδ.
