Care and handling instructions
HUBER+SUHNER microwave cable assemblies of all types offer a long service life providing they are treated with the appropri-
ate care and attention. Microwave cable assemblies are high precision system components and require proper handling in order
to ensure that measured performance values are maintained.
To achieve the maximum installed performance the following guidelines should be followed:
1. Assemblies should remain in their original packaging for delivery and storage. Storage temperature should be between
−50 and +80 °C and the relative humidity should not exceed 85 %.
2. Carefully unpack assemblies before installation. Avoid kinking cables when straightening from a coil or reel.
3. Ensure that the surroundings are clean and free of dust, dirt and any other particles that could enter unsealed connector
interfaces.
4. Use protective caps to prevent contamination whenever connectors are unmated.
5. Where interfaces are contaminated, particles can be removed with dry, oil-free compressed air. Please use eye-protection.
Interfaces can be cleaned with dry cotton swabs. Do not use hard handtools or solvents. Do not blow into interfaces or use
normal compressed-air.
6. Choose the installation routing using the largest bend radii possible. Small bend radii may affect electrical performance.
Exceeding the specified limits during the installation process could cause a permanent degradation.
7. Avoid twisting microwave cable assemblies. Torsion of this type of assembly can alter the relative diameters of cable layers
and affects the electrical characteristics. Exceeding the limit of 10° per metre during installation process could cause a perma-
nent degradation.
8. Assemblies should be fixed in place without excess pressure. The use of cable ties should be avoided where possible, as they
can easily exert more force than this. If cable ties must be used then they should be as wide as possible and still allow move-
ment of the cable. Avoid placing fixings at regular intervals.
9. Examine interfaces for damage and/or contamination before mating.
10. Discharge connectors before mating or ensure that they are connected to a suitable ground.
11. When mating connectors with a screwed interface always hold the connector bodies and turn only the coupling nut.
This avoids twisting the cable and ensures minimum wear on the connector pins.
12. Do not exceed the specified torque.

Qualified, low profile microwave
cable assemblies
Minibend is a truly flexible coaxial cable assembly which is designed for use in low profile, internal,
point-to-point interconnections between RF modules within communications systems. Minibend
replaces custom semi-rigid cables with standard flexible cables, eliminating the need for prede-
fined custom lengths and bend configurations. Minibend provides you with a preassembled and
tested high performance, cost-effective alternative in a variety of standard lengths and connector
configurations.
Minibend R is designed for use in complex, congested environments where higher cable retention
force is required. Minibend R's pull strength is more than 70 % greater than a standard Minibend.
When installed and bent at the minimum bend radius, Minibend R will tolerate multiple 90° rota-
tions at the cable/connector junction. The "R" ruggedisation can be added to any Minibend
connector style. All materials used in Minibend R assemblies meet or exceed NASA TML and
CVCM requirements for use in spacecraft applications.

Product description
Steel-flex cables are lightweight flexible replacements to semi-
rigid cable. All utilise triple shields for superior RF shielding,
with a solid TFE dielectric for exceptional crush resistance with-
out the need for heavy armor. The flat wire braid outer conduc-
tor provides low loss plus excellent insertion loss stability with
flexure. The stainless steel outer braid provides improved me-
chanical pull strength when compared to cables with a copper
wire outer braid.
Steel-flex I
High performance, high pull strength microwave coaxial cables
Product features
• Impedance 50 Ω
• Applicable up to 85 GHz
• Designed for low cost/high volume applications
• Excellent loss stability over flexure
• Steel outer shield for high pull strength
• UL approved

Product description
Ever-flex cables were designed for use in ultradurable, high
flexure applications such as gimbal assemblies and installa-
tions where the cable assembly must endure multiple tight
bends and twists. ever-flex cable assemblies have repeatedly
endured 1 000 000 flexure cycles with minimal electrical and
mechanical degradation. All incorporate a flat wire outer con-
ductor and a microporous dielectric for low loss and a tight
woven stainless steel outer braid for improved resistance to
crushing, bending and kinking.

Handformable and formstable microwave
cable assemblies
Sucoform microwave coaxial cables offer distinct mechanical advantages over semi-rigid cables.
They are based on the same design as the standard PTFE insulated semi-rigid cables, but have a
tin-soaked copper braid for the outer conductor, giving them outstanding hand-formability. These
cables combine the excellent characteristics of semi-rigid cables with those of flexible coaxial
cables. Thanks to their small bending radii, they allow spacesaving routing and packaging.
The semi-rigid cable is unique in that it is easily bent to finished shape and still maintains its set after
bending. This property makes it ideal for use with automated bending equipment as well as hand
forming by bending tools. The semi-rigid cables provide greatly extended environmental parame-
ters. The cables exhibit highly favourable electrical characteristics, particularly an impedance tole-
rance as low as 0.5 Ohm for a 0.0141“ diameter cable with nominal impedance of 50 Ohm.

Engineering information
General cable design criteria
Microwave transmission lines are used to transmit electroma-
gnetic energy in a controlled manner. In contrast to ordinary
circuit theory where resistance (R), capacitance (C), con-
ductance (G) and inductance (L) are represented as lumped
constant elements, the R, C, G, and L of microwave transmission
lines are considered distributed parameters. Hence, the micro-
wave transmission line is a distributed element circuit. The elec-
trical length of the microwave transmission line is a function of
the physical length and the Velocity of Propagation. The princi-
pal mode of propagation in a coaxial microwave transmission
line is the (TEM) Transverse Electro Magnetic mode. This me-
ans that the electromagnetic field has only radial components
which include the vector electric field (E) and the vector ma-
gnetic field (H). TEM can exist in all transmission lines with two
or more conductors or in free space. As the frequency incre-
ases, the wavelength will decrease. Therefore, the internal
dimensions must be proportionally reduced for mode-free
propagation in the TEM mode. If frequency increases and the
internal radial dimensions remain constant, the next higher
order mode may exist. This second mode in the coaxial line is
transverse electric mode TE11 . In coaxial microwave transmissi-
on lines, the TEM mode propagation is preferred because a
second mode may cause resonance. A coaxial line may be
used at frequencies that are slightly higher than the theoretical
cutoff because the cutoff frequency does not mean that reso-
nance will occur, it only means the possibility of resonance.
One of the first things to consider when selecting or designing
a coaxial cable is determining the temperature requirements.
The dielectric materials selected for the outer jacket and inner
core are some of the limiting factors affecting the allowable
temperature range.
Cable style (high flexibility, low flexibility or semi-rigid) should
be the next determination. Some applications are able to use
any of these styles. Since many flexible cables perform to the
level of semi-rigid, and have a similar cost to semi-rigid, then
the cost of installation should be considered.
High flexibility cables require a careful selection of materials
and construction to ensure a long flex life.
For low loss applications, a solid center conductor is -usually
preferred. However, a solid center conductor may limit flexibili-
ty and is not always the most cost effective for larger diameter
cables.
Consider the cost limitations at all times when selecting a cable
style or design. Overdesign of a cable may drive the cost unne-
cessarily high. A lower cost cable may appear to meet the
requirements initially, but take care to consider the weaknesses
of each individual style. For example, additional armor can be
supplied over most cable assemblies to provide extra protec-
tion, however, it is costly.
In conclusion, specific requirements must be carefully consi-
dered with regard to the selection of cable and cable assem-
blies including but not limited to the frequency range, VSWR,
insertion loss, mechanical and electrical requirements along
with any environmental or application restrictions. A thoughtful
and precise review of requirements will result in an optimal
design.
Impedance
When "impedance" is mentioned in reference to coaxial ca-
bles, the "characteristic impedance" is normally implied. Cha-
racteristic impedance (Z0) is the ratio of voltage to current in a
travelling wave. In low loss coaxial cable, the impedance is
directly related to the logarithm of the ratio of the inner and
outer diameters, and inversely related to the square root of
dielectric constant of the core material. In a low loss coaxial
cable, the impedance is always a positive real number. Maxi-
mum power transfer results only when the characteristic impe-
dance of the transmitter, RF line, and the receiver (or antenna)
are equal to each other or the complex conjugate. If the match
is exact, losses are only due to the attenuation of the transmissi-
on line. If there is a mismatch, reflection losses will result.
d = center conductor diameter in inches
D = dielectric core diameter in inches
Velocity of propagation
Velocity of propagation is the speed of signal transmission
relative to the speed of light. Since it is inversely proportional to
the square root of the dielectric constant, a lower dielectric
constant will result in an increase in velocity. Velocity of propa-
gation is expressed as a percentage of the speed of light in a
vacuum and can be calculated by the following formula:
Delay
Delay time is defined as the duration between the time a signal
enters a coaxial line until it emerges from the other end of a
coaxial line. The delay time is essentially independent of fre-
quency and is a function of the dielectric constant and the
physical length of the transmission line. Delay time is typically
indicated in nanoseconds (10-9 seconds) per foot.

Capacitance
Capacitance is the property which permits electrical energy to
be stored in a dielectric between two conductors that are at
different potentials. Similar to impedance, capacitance is de-
pendent upon the inner and outer conductor dimensional ratio
and the dielectric constant, but in a reciprocal way. For examp-
le, in cables with the same dielectric constant, if capacitance
decreases then impedance increases. The capacitance of a
cable is expressed in picofarads (10-12 farad) per foot, and can
be calculated with the following formula:
Shielding
The shielding effectiveness of a coaxial cable depends on the
construction of its outer conductors. Generally, the shielding
efficiency is measured by the relative level of the signal leaking
from the outer conductor in decibels per one foot of the length.
The effectiveness of shielding on microwave cables usually
diminishes with increased frequency. In practice, the shielding
efficiency of semi-rigid (solid sheath) cables is limited by the
leakage of the connectors and the cable/connector junction.
Some factors which influence the shielding effectiveness of
flexible cable assemblies are:
1. Number of shields: flat braid, round braid and helical wrap
2. Braid style and coverage: a flat braid is usually better than a
round braid and a higher percentage of braid coverage
normally provides better shielding.
3. Thickness of shield materials and plating of the conductor:
cable outer conductors are typically silver plated.
4. Connector and style of attachment: the best shielded con-
nector typically uses a threaded coupling nut with a slotless
outer conductor attached to the cable by clamping, solde-
ring or crimping with minimal amount of outer conductor
junctions.

VSWR/return loss conversion
Reflection can be estimated by reflection coefficient, which is
the ratio of reflected wave voltage (current) to incident wave
voltage (current). Reflection coefficient has a magnitude and
phase and can be represented by complex numbers. Another
parameter for reflection is voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR).
VSWR is defined from the magnitude of reflection coefficient
and, therefore, does not have a phase. Return loss compares
the power in the reflected wave with that in the forward wave.
The unit for return loss is decibel. Return loss can be calculated
from VSWR and vice-versa.

Power handling of RF coaxial assemblies
Two potential failure modes must be considered when determi-
ning the power handling capability of an RF coaxial cable:
• Peak power (voltage breakdown)
• Average or CW power
The peak power (voltage breakdown) occurs when the vol-
tage gradient between the cable center conductor exceeds a
limiting value causing the signal to arc across the path of the
least resistance. Generally, the path of the least resistance is
located at the cable/connection junction. Catastrophic break-
down is not the only problem: the existence of corona, usually
around the center conductor, produces other deleterious ef-
fects. Corona cutting is a concern with PTFE insulators whereu-
pon the PTFE is eroded causing the formation of cavities (usual-
ly without carbonisation).
Coaxial cable assemblies are typically rated with the peak
power handling much lower than what the interface can
handle. To maximise peak power of the cable assembly, a high
voltage (HV) connector should be used. A higher voltage po-
tential is achieved by overlapping the dielectric thereby increa-
sing the airline arc path. A drawback to this design is that con-
nectors which are modified in this way generally have greater
VSWR at higher frequencies.
If the transmission line has reflections, the voltage and the cur-
rent along the line will have maximums and minimums. The
cause of this nonuniform distribution is superposition of the
incident and reflected waves. Breakdown is a function of the
maximum voltage. Higher reflection results in lower voltage
handling. Even high-performance assemblies with low VSWR
can have poor peak power handling if they are connected to
an unmatched load. Peak power handling is dependent on
frequency since the typical value of VSWR is proportional to
the increase in frequency. The most common breakdown at
high altitudes (usually greater than 70 000 ft) is ionisation
breakdown in the air path. For vacuum and space applications,
the main type of breakdown is multipaction breakdown.
For average power rating of a cable with a pulsed signal,
multiply the peak power rating by the duty cycle.
Frequency range, ambient temperature, altitude, physical size,
and the thermal properties of each layer of construction are the
primary factors which determine the average power handling
capability of an RF coaxial cable. The average power failure
occurs when the level of power transmitted results in resistive
and dielectric heating at a rate higher than the rate at which
the heat can be conducted away through the different layers
of cable and dissipated from the outermost cable layer to the

environment. A buildup of heat energy causes the internal cable
temperature to exceed the maximum rated dielectric tempera-
ture. Convection, conduction and radiation are methods to re-
move heat from the cable assembly. Conduction transfer of
heat through the outer and inner conductors of a cable is parti-
cularly effective for short assemblies. For very high altitudes
and space applications, the air is too thin or nonexistent and
convection cooling is ineffective. Heat from the cable assembly
can only be removed by radiant heat and conduction.
HUBER+SUHNER has developed a unique computer-mode-
ling program that accurately predicts the power rating for coa-
xial cables of varying designs and materials. Power handling is
calculated for convection cooling only. Conduction and radia-
tion are included in the safety margins. These charts provide
the CW or average power rating for all cables versus frequency.
The following calculation shows how to use the CW power
charts for non-standard temperature conditions:
Where:
P = power at temp, t1 and altitude a1
Ft = temperature derating factor at temp. t1
Fa = altitude derating factor at altitude a1
Pf = power level at frequency f1
Example:
What is the average power rating for HUBER+SUHNER
32051 cable at 12 GHz at an ambient temperature of 100 °C
and an altitude of 30 000 ft?
Pf = 580 Watts (see data – page 125)
Ft = 0.58 (see chart)
Fa = 0.68 (see chart)
Therefore:
P = 580 (0.58)(0.68) = 229 Watts

Multipaction and ionisation breakdown
Multipactor breakdown is a failure mode of an RF component
that only occurs under conditions of high vacuum, where a
certain frequency distance product condition exists between
the inner and outer conductors and where a sufficiently large
RF electric field strength exists. In a high vacuum environment,
an electron may have a free path longer than the electrode
separation distance. When this electron collides with the elec-
trode it may release secondary electrons. If both frequency
and the distance between inner and outer conductor are fa-
vorable, the secondary electrons will be accelerated by the
electromagnetic field. Large electron densities rapidly build up
and breakdown results. At very low and very high frequencies
multipactor breakdown is impossible. Multipactor breakdown
can also occur between the conductor and the insulator. A
multipactor discharge itself adsorbs little power, but once ini-
tiated it can cause increased outgassing from materials within
components, which may lead to a gas discharge and total
failure. To prevent this event, the microwave components should
have vent holes of sufficient size to allow the gasses to escape
at a known rate. Multipactor breakdown also results in increa-
sed heating within the cable or connector, noise generation,
harmonic distortion and intermodulation (when multiple fre-
quency RF signals are applied).
For every vacuum application the power handling should be
calculated individually. The worst frequencies for multipactor
breakdown are between 500 MHz and 2.5 GHz. At low
voltage levels (less than 20 V) and low average power (less
than 8 W), multipactor breakdown is theoretically impossible.
In ionisation breakdown, secondary electrons are produced
through collisions between electrons and gas molecules. Ioni-
sation breakdown occurs at pressures higher than those for
multipaction. Like multipactor breakdown, ionisation break-
down is not possible at very low and very high frequencies
and low power levels.
178 HUBER+SUHNER Microwave assemblies
Engineering information
However, ionisation breakdown is considerably more complex
than multipactor breakdown because of the additional depen-
dence on pressure and the type of gas (if other than air).
HUBER+SUHNER has designed, manufactured and delivered
several high performance cable assemblies for use in high
power, high altitude and space environments. These products
were tested by an independent laboratory to determine if any
failures due to ionisation and/or multipactor breakdown would
occur.
Connector power handling
The primary factor restricting power handling in the coaxial
adaptor or connector is overheating due to restricted heat
dissipation. High power cable assemblies, in general, should
not exceed 200 ˚C, however dielectric materials used in pre-
cision connector interfaces like 7 mm and 3.5 mm are only
rated to 90 °C. HUBER+SUHNER manufactures a high tem-
perature precision bead for high power applications. The
maximum temperature usually occurs on the connector inner
conductor. When connectors are employed in a coaxial
cable assembly, the connector should have a center con-
ductor diameter that is equal to or larger than the cable center
conductor diameter in order to maximize the power handling
of the assembly.
Although many applications support the use of standard con-
nectors and coaxial transmission lines, recent designs in TWT’s,
high power filters and high power test equipment have placed
a great burden on standard coaxial cable assemblies. Since
the internal configuration of the connector termination is a
major contributor to heat buildup, HUBER+SUHNER employs a
unique dielectric material known as Fluoroloy H® inside con-
nectors used for high power applications. This material has a
slightly higher dielectric constant (compared to standard Te-
flon® dielectric) but has a higher rate of thermal conductivity
which allows the heat that is generated in the center conductor
to transfer to the outer conductor more rapidly, thus increasing
the power handling capability of the connector or adaptor.
The majority of HUBER+SUHNER connectors and adaptors
can be produced with Fluoroloy H® dielectric upon request. In
addition, HUBER+SUHNER can design special customised
high power interfaces that are mechanically and electrically
compatible with standard interfaces. Contact

Intermodulation distortion in passive components
Intermodulation distortion in passive microwave components is
caused by internal nonlinearities. In a truly linear system, the
output is directly proportional to the input.
In a nonlinear system, the output signal is distorted by changes
in the amplitude of the input signal. Intermodulation distortion
creates new output signals from the nonlinear combinations of
two or more input signals mixed together. A nonlinear circuit
will create an infinite number of harmonics from two fundamen-
tal frequencies (f1 and f2). A particular concern for telecommu-
nication systems engineers is the intermodulation product of the
third order (such as 2f1 – f2 and 2f2 – f1), especially if f1 and
f2 are closely spaced. With certain system designs and band-
width allocations, the third order intermodulation products can
be generated at the same frequencies as the receive channels
of the system. In general, intermodulation products increase
system noise and reduce the number of available channels.
Intermodulation distortion is most pronounced in systems where
the high power transmission and low power receiver signals
are carried simultaneously in the same transmission line, such
as in the cable between the duplexer and the antenna in GSM
base stations and in certain space applications. For low power
levels, the effects of intermodulation distortion are significantly
less. HUBER+SUHNER is involved in the research of the inter-
modulation problem as a participant in the IEC TC46 WG6
passive intermodulation working group.
Coaxial cable assemblies have often been viewed as linear
components. However, pure linear components do not exist.
There are small nonlinearities in the connectors and in the ca-
ble to connector junctions. Intermodulation distortion in con-
nectors is usually caused by thin surface oxide layers at the
connector junctions or by insufficient contact pressure when
the current-carrying contact zones become separated. Sepa-
ration is usually microscopic and can be caused by either elec-
tron tunneling or microscopic arcing. The presence of ferroma-
gnetic materials in the current path may also contribute to
intermodulation distortion.
Some simple design rules can help avoid intermodulation dis-
tortions in coaxial cable assemblies:
• Use of semi-rigid cable with a seamless outer conductor in
place of flexible cable.
• Use of a solid center conductor in place of a stranded
center conductor.
• Directly attach the outer conductor to the connector body
by soldering or clamping in lieu of crimping.
• Limit the number of parts in the current path.
• Eliminate contaminants in the current path.
• Use high quality machining in the connector parts with a
smooth surface finish.
• Avoid contaminants in the plating solutions.
• Ensure adequate and uniform plating thickness.
• Avoid use of magnetic materials in the current-carrying path.
• Ensure adequate contact pressure.
• Contact surface of female contact fingers should cover as
close to 360 as possible (i. e. narrow slots or slotless).
• Use connector interfaces with radial dimensions as large as
possible (7/16 over N, N over SMA).
Space applications
Every space application is unique and requires careful consi-
deration before selecting the components to be used. A space
environment subjects components and assemblies to severe
environmental stress:
• Low earth orbit spacecraft subject solder joints, welds,
brazements and mechanical connections to continuous hot/
cold thermal cycling every 90 minutes. The manufacturing
process must be carefully controlled per NASA STD-8739
requirements to assure consistent, reliable connections and
assemblies. Solder connections must be 100 % X-rayed to
assure their integrity and reliability.
• There is no atmosphere so convection cooling does not
occur. Excess heat must be removed by radiation, which
requires the surface of the connectors to be an infrared
emitter, or by conduction which requires a secondary
heat sink.
• Certain materials "outgas" in the extreme vacuum of space
which requires the designer to select materials and compon-
ents that meet NASA requirements for Total Mass Loss (TML)
and Collected Volatile Condensable Material (CVCM) to
avoid contamination of optics and other sensitive equipment
on board the spacecraft.
• Materials must be carefully chosen so that ionising radiation
does not destroy the connector or cable dielectric or the
cable jacket.
• Multipaction failure (described in more detail herein) is a con-
cern for high power applications.
• Intermodulation distortion (described in more detail herein) is
a concern within systems where high power transmitting and
low power receiving signals need to be carried simultane-
ously in the same transmission line.
• The manufacturing environment must be carefully controlled
and the packaging materials selected to prevent dust and
particles from accumulating on the components and subse-
quently contaminating the spacecraft.
Processes and controls used by HUBER+SUHNER for procure-
ment, manufacture, assembly, soldering, X-ray, inspection and
testing have been certified by NASA for use in spacecraft
applications. HUBER+SUHNER has the design, manufacturing,

Phase stability with flexure
Phase stability vs. flexure is a measure of the phase change of
a cable as a result of flexing. The manner of flexure will affect
insertion phase. Reducing the bend radius or increasing the
bend angle will increase the phase change. Similarly, as the
number of flexures increases the phase change will increase.
Increasing the ratio of cable diameter to bend diameter will
decrease the phase changes. Phase changes over frequency
can be considered a linear response, although with some
cables change can be more significant at higher frequencies.
A microporous dielectric cable will typically have better phase
stability than a solid dielectric.
Phase stability vs. temperature
Phase stability vs. temperature is a measure of the signal speed
variation when the cable is exposed to different temperatures.
The values are specified in parts per million (ppm) or in degrees
per gigahertz and meters (deg/(GHz*m)). They usually refer to
the difference between maximum and minimum values in a cer-
tain temperature range. They can be converted to each other
using the following formula:
For frequencies in the low single-digit GHz range, the phase
change is not proportional to the frequency anymore but for
higher frequencies it is.
Main influences are the materials used and the construction of
the cable. Most cables have different behaviors depending on
the temperature range considered. There are sections with a
linear or a non-linear behavior. Linear behavior show the influ-
ence of the regular length and volume expansion of the cable
components. Non-linear sections originated from phase
changes in materials or special mutual reactions between
single elements of the cable. An example for a phase changes
in materials is the devitrification of PTFE at 20 °C. At this tem-
perature the crystal structure changes from triclinic to hexa-
gonal. This leads to a rapid change of phase, the so called
"Teflon® knee".
Phase matching
Phase matching is a term generally used to describe two or
more cable assemblies with the same phase length. A more
precise term is electrical length matching since phase measure-
ments are from 0 ° to 360 ° of phase, with repeating cycles of
360 ° phase. The mechanical lengths of phase matched cable
may not always be equal due to slight variations in the cable
velocity of propagation. There are two distinctly different ver-
sions of phase matching: 1) absolute phase matched cables
are matched to a predetermined phase value, and 2) relative
phase matched cables are matched to each other. In either
case, the tolerance of phase matching is frequency depen-
dent although cable length and type may effect the matching
capabilities.
Phase tracking
Phase tracking is the ability of multiple assemblies to closely
reproduce their phase relative to each other over a range of
temperature, flexure or both. Phase tracking is essentially a
measure of the assemblies’ mechanical repeatability and con-
sistency. Thermal conditioning of coaxial cable enhances tra-
cking characteristics.

Phase matching of cable assemblies
Definition
The term "phase matching" refers to the relative electrical
length of an assembly compared with a reference cable or
a given electrical length.
Absolute length
Relative length
Guarantee of phase matching
HUBER+SUHNER guarantees phase matching ex-factory. The
relevant measurement logs are included in the supply. It is es-
sential during installation and service to ensure that all assem-
blies of a phase matched set are exposed to the identical ther-
mal and mechanical stresses.
Reference cables
Usually, a reference cable is produced for each phase mat-
ched assembly set when an initial production run takes place.
The absolute electrical length measured is internally saved. The
reference cables are stored during 10 to 20 years under con-
trolled conditions (temperature, humidity) together with the
order data to allow individual assemblies to be replaced
whenever the need arises.
Attenuation (insertion loss)
Attenuation is a measure of the ability of a component to carry
an RF signal efficiently. Coaxial cable loss is the sum of the die-
lectric and conductor losses and is a function of the materials
used to manufacture the cable. Attenuation stability with flexure
will have similar response characteristics as "phase vs. flexure"
described previously, as will the "tracking" characteristics.
Attenuation matching will not be as dependent upon the diel-
ectric style, although for long lengths the insertion loss stability
vs. flexure is critical.
