Can coaxial switches be customized for specific impedance requirements
Coaxial Switch Impedance Customization
-
Design Parameters
Characteristic impedance determined by: inner conductor radius, outer shield dimensions, and dielectric material
-
Material Customization
Dielectrics like PTFE or ceramic adjust permittivity
Conductor geometry modifications (e.g., thickened inner pin) fine-tune impedance -
Advanced Configurations
Multi-impedance designs feature:
• Sliding stubs
• Reconfigurable dielectric layers
For dynamic frequency band adaptation -
Validation & Testing
Rigorous network analyzer verification ensures:
• Signal integrity
• Minimal reflection
Even in non-standard configurations
Applications range from 75Ω broadcast systems to specialized medical device power transfer, providing solutions where standard impedance values are insufficient.
