The 8043S6 is a 3.5mm beadless air-line transmission line used as a calibration standard for microwave measurements, with an electrical length of 6.000 cm and an odd 1/4-wavelength frequency of 1.25 GHz. It operates from DC to 40.0 GHz with a VSWR of less than 1.008 and an electrical length accuracy of ±0.0025 cm. The center conductor is unsupported and floats freely within the air dielectric body, and the male connector nut is retractable to ease center conductor alignment prior to connection.
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.
