Total Cable Assembly Loss:
To calculate Total Cable Assembly Loss use the following formula:
(-0.012 dB x F) x 2 = Connector Losses + Cable Loss (see table below) = Total Cable Assembly Loss . F = Frequency (GHz)
Example: 3 foot long CF-300 cable w/SMA Connectors @ 18 GHz: Model#: CF-300-36-SM-SM:
(0.012 x 18) x 2 = 0.432dB [Connector Loss] + 0.20dB/foot x 3 = 0.60 [Cable Loss] = [Total Cable Assembly Loss] = - 1.032dB |
