The October 2008 issue of High Frequency Electronics contains the article, “A Review of the Major Types of RF and Microwave Coaxial Connectors.” It describes about 20 different types of connectors. To get to it, you have to download the PDF version of the issue.
That’s not so bad, though. It’s only 7 Mbytes, and there are also some interesting advertisements and product announcements, such as the Bird SignalHawk on page 60. This looks to be a competitor for the Agilent N9912A FieldFox RF Analyzer I wrote about earlier. I couldn’t find a price for this analyzer, but I’m guessing it will cost as much or more than the Agilent unit.
It’s kind of funny that they’re both named after animals. Which would you rather have—a fox or a hawk?
