With RF and microwave systems, especially those above 18 GHz, even small signal shifts cause tremendous performance degradation. Be you're designing for aerospace, radar, satellite communications, or a high-requiring lab test environment, maintaining signal integrity over a wide frequency range is essential. Come in UFB205A by GwaveTech—a low-loss, phase-stable cable providing flexibility with superior electrical performance and rugged construction.
Why Phase Stability is Important in High-Frequency Systems
In applications where the accuracy of timing and repeatable measurement is required, for example, in VNA calibration, antenna testing, or phased array systems, phase stability is a serious problem. Any phase drift due to phase stable cable movement, flexure, or temperature change can result in errors, misalignment, or even test failures.
The UFB205A is specifically engineered to reduce those risks. It provides superior phase and amplitude stability, even in the presence of mechanical stress, flexing, or repeated plug-ins. It is well suited for dynamic applications where conventional flexible coaxial cables are less effective.
Key Features of UFB205A
The UFB205A cable is an industry-leading substitute for familiar high-end models such as Gore CXN3449 or comparable micro-coax assemblies. It operates from DC to 26.5 GHz with a very low insertion loss of only 1.05 dB/m at 18 GHz. What that implies is cleaner signal paths, less noise, and generally higher system performance.
At 5.21mm, the cable is small enough to bend easily through tight configurations without degrading shielding or mechanical strength. The phase stable cable also flexes repeatedly with minimal loss of performance, which makes it perfect for laboratory use where cables are plugged and moved repeatedly.
Flexible but Tough
Unlike semi-rigid or rigid solutions that break with pressure or fatigue with bends, the UFB205A performs consistently in conditions found in the field. It's as comfortable on the bench as it is in deployed systems. Whether rotating antennas, relocating components, or simply having to cram a tight build, this cable flexes without compromising.
Buy UFB205A from GwaveTech
If you need a phase-stable, low-loss flexible cable that withstands pressure—literally—you want UFB205A from GwaveTech. It's the wise choice for engineers who can't afford to see signal drift or inconsistent readings.
