A coaxial
RF connector is an
electrical connector designed to work at
radio frequencies in the multi-megahertz range. RF connectors are typically used with
coaxial cables and are designed to maintain the shielding that the coaxial design offers. Better models also minimize the change
in transmission line
impedance at the connection. Mechanically, they provide a fastening mechanism
(
thread,
bayonet, braces, push pull) and
springs for a low ohmic electric contact while sparing the gold surface, thus allowing above 1000 reconnects and
reducing the
insertion force. Research activity in the area of radio-frequency (RF) circuit design has
surged in the last decade
[when?] in direct
response to the enormous market demand for inexpensive, high-data-rate wireless transceivers.
