The 8043S5.3 is a 3.5mm beadless coaxial air line designed for use as a precision impedance standard in measurement and calibration applications. It has an electrical length of 5.298 cm, with an accuracy of ±0.0025 cm, and operates up to 26.5 GHz with a maximum VSWR of <1.008. The center conductor is unsupported and floats freely within the air dielectric body, ensuring low VSWR and high electrical length accuracy. The odd 1/4-wavelength frequency is 1.41 GHz.
Coaxial air lines are air-dielectric transmission lines with highly accurate dimensions that can be used as fundamental impedance standards in measurement and calibration applications, and may also be used to establish reference positions for measurements.
Bead supported air lines offer greater convenience and easier connections (the center conductor is automatically aligned by the dielectric bead for easy connection); beadless air lines offer better impedance and electrical length accuracies, as well as lower VSWR (the center conductor floats free in the air line body, and the male connector nut is retractable to facilitate insertion of the center conductor contact before the thread- on connection tightened.
