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 permanent 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 movement 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.

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 parameters. The cables exhibit highly favourable electrical characteristics, particularly an impedance tolerance as low as 0.5 Ohm for a 0.0141" diameter cable with nominal impedance of 50 Ohm. 158 HUBER+SUHNER Microwave assemblies Sucoform page 160 The handformable alternative to semi-rigid * Frequency range up to 40 GHz * High phase stability * Good flexibility * Quick and easy assembling Cobra-flex page 166 Formstable assemblies The flexible semi-rigid microwave coaxial cable assemblies * Frequency range up to 40 GHz * Minimal dielectric migration * Standard semi-rigid size * Optional extended temperature range -269 to +250 C Semi-rigid page 169 The form stable microwave cable * Frequency range up to 67 GHz * Excellent VSWR performance * Easy to form, strip and solder * Small sizes permit use in high-density areas Abbreviations see page 182 HUBER+SUHNER Microwave assemblies 159 Sucoform The handformable alternative to semi-rigid Product description Sucoform microwave coaxial cables offer distinct mechanical advantages over semi-rigid cables.

In contrast to ordinary circuit theory where resistance (R), capacitance (C), conductance (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 microwave transmission line is a distributed element circuit. The electrical length of the microwave transmission line is a function of the physical length and the Velocity of Propagation. The principal mode of propagation in a coaxial microwave transmission line is the (TEM) Transverse Electro Magnetic mode. This means that the electromagnetic field has only radial components which include the vector electric field (E) and the vector magnetic field (H). TEM can exist in all transmission lines with two or more conductors or in free space. As the frequency increases, 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 transmission 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 resonance 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 flexibility 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 unnecessarily 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 protection, however, it is costly. 174 HUBER+SUHNER Microwave assemblies In conclusion, specific requirements must be carefully considered with regard to the selection of cable and cable assemblies 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 cables, the "characteristic impedance" is normally implied. Characteristic impedance (Z 0) 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. Maximum power transfer results only when the characteristic impedance 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 transmission 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 propagation 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 frequency 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. Engineering information 1.

Similar to impedance, capacitance is dependent upon the inner and outer conductor dimensional ratio and the dielectric constant, but in a reciprocal way. For example, 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: H 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: Abbreviations see page 182 HUBER+SUHNER Microwave assemblies 175 Engineering information 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.

Generally, the path of the least resistance is located at the cable/connection junction. Catastrophic breakdown is not the only problem: the existence of corona, usually around the center conductor, produces other deleterious effects. Corona cutting is a concern with PTFE insulators whereupon the PTFE is eroded causing the formation of cavities (usually 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 potential is achieved by overlapping the dielectric thereby increasing the airline arc path. A drawback to this design is that connectors which are modified in this way generally have greater VSWR at higher frequencies. If the transmission line has reflections, the voltage and the current 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 Engineering information HUBER+SUHNER has developed a unique computer-modeling program that accurately predicts the power rating for coaxial cables of varying designs and materials. Power handling is calculated for convection cooling only. Conduction and radiation 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 Altitude derating factor for RF power Altitude ft fa avg fa peak Sea level 1 1 10 000 0.90 0.5 20 000 0.79 0.2 30 000 0.68 0.14 40 000 0.58 0.10 50 000 0.48 0.08 60 000 0.38 0.06 70 000 0.29 0.05 Abbreviations see page 182 Temperature derating factor for RF average power Ambient C ft 25 1 50 0.83 85 0.66 100 0.58 125 0.43 150 0.28 200 0.15 Note: Derating factors are calculated for convection only. 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 electrode it may release secondary electrons. If both frequency and the distance between inner and outer conductor are favorable, 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 initiated 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 increased heating within the cable or connector, noise generation, harmonic distortion and intermodulation (when multiple frequency RF signals are applied). Engineering information environment. A buildup of heat energy causes the internal cable temperature to exceed the maximum rated dielectric temperature. Convection, conduction and radiation are methods to remove heat from the cable assembly. Conduction transfer of heat through the outer and inner conductors of a cable is particularly 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. 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. Ionisation breakdown occurs at pressures higher than those for multipaction. Like multipactor breakdown, ionisation breakdown is not possible at very low and very high frequencies and low power levels. HUBER+SUHNER Microwave assemblies 177 Engineering information However, ionisation breakdown is considerably more complex than multipactor breakdown because of the additional dependence 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 precision connector interfaces like 7 mm and 3.5 mm are only rated to 90 C. HUBER+SUHNER manufactures a high temperature 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 conductor 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 connectors 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(R) inside connectors used for high power applications. This material has a slightly higher dielectric constant (compared to standard Teflon(R) 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(R) dielectric upon request.

For low power levels, the effects of intermodulation distortion are significantly less. HUBER+SUHNER is involved in the research of the intermodulation 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 cable to connector junctions. Intermodulation distortion in connectors 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. Separation is usually microscopic and can be caused by either electron tunneling or microscopic arcing. The presence of ferromagnetic materials in the current path may also contribute to intermodulation distortion. Some simple design rules can help avoid intermodulation distortions 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 * 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 consideration 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 components 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 concern 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 simultaneously 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 subsequently contaminating the spacecraft. Engineering information 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 fundamental frequencies (f1 and f2). A particular concern for telecommunication 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 bandwidth 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. 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.

HUBER+SUHNER Microwave assemblies 179 Engineering information 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 certain 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 influence 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 temperature the crystal structure changes from triclinic to hexagonal. This leads to a rapid change of phase, the so called "Teflon(R) knee". 180 HUBER+SUHNER Microwave assemblies 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 consistency. Thermal conditioning of coaxial cable enhances tracking characteristics. 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 measurements 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 versions 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 dependent although cable length and type may effect the matching capabilities. Engineering information 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 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 dielectric 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 dielectric style, although for long lengths the insertion loss stability vs. flexure is critical. 0.435 x Inner conductor loss (where F is the frequency in MHz) 0.435 Relative length Engineering information Outer conductor loss UH Dielectric loss Where: = power factor (loss tangent) = 0.00016 (r = 2.1) = 0.00005 (r = 1.6) Guarantee of phase matching HUBER+SUHNER guarantees phase matching ex-factory. The relevant measurement logs are included in the supply. It is essential during installation and service to ensure that all assemblies of a phase matched set are exposed to the identical thermal and mechanical stresses. Reference cables Usually, a reference cable is produced for each phase matched 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 controlled conditions (temperature, humidity) together with the order data to allow individual assemblies to be replaced whenever the need arises.
