Thermal Effect Impact to Coaxial Connector in Microwave Connection Applications

As the most common and important device for microwave connection, the property of coaxial connectors significantly influence the final microwave system performance. This paper investigates the self-heat and external temperature induced impact to 7/16 coaxial connector in high power applications, where the lumped parameter based numerical modeling verifies with finite element simulation. The work can help analyze the temperature impact to the connectors.
