Radio frequency connector and measurement system

A measurement system for radio frequency measurement, said measurement system comprising;

• a radio frequency device with at least one radio frequency port and a radio frequency connector for establishing a radio frequency connection with the radio frequency device, wherein the radio frequency connector comprises
• a radio frequency connection interface, an interchangeable radio frequency adapter, a positioning member, and a base to which said positioning member is attached in an assembled state by a threaded connection,
• said interchangeable radio frequency adapter being detachably attached with said radio frequency connection interface such that said interchangeable radio frequency adapter is configured to be detached from said radio frequency connection interface in a disassembled state of the radio frequency connector;
• said positioning member being configured to position said interchangeable radio frequency adapter with respect to said radio frequency connection interface in the assembled state of said radio frequency connector;
• said base comprising a passage into which said radio frequency connection interface and said interchangeable radio frequency adapter extend at least partly in the assembled state of said radio frequency connector, said passage having a threaded section that interacts with a threaded section of said interchangeable radio frequency adapter via which, in the assembled state of said radio frequency connector, said interchangeable radio frequency adapter is screwed in;
• and
• said positioning member being configured to be detached from the radio frequency connection interface or the interchangeable radio frequency adapter in the disassembled state of the radio frequency connector, thereby releasing said interchangeable radio frequency adapter with respect to said radio frequency connection interface,
• wherein said radio frequency connector provides a sacrificial interface to the radio frequency device, thereby protecting the radio frequency port from mechanical damage, and
• wherein said radio frequency connection interface is established by said radio frequency port of said radio frequency device.

A radio frequency connector for establishing a radio frequency connection with a radio frequency device, the radio frequency connector having a dissembled state and an assembled state, the radio frequency connector, comprising:

• a radio frequency connection interface;
• an interchangeable radio frequency adapter, wherein said interchangeable radio frequency adapter is configured to be detachably attached with said radio frequency connection interface such that said interchangeable radio frequency adapter is detached from said radio frequency connection interface in the disassembled state;
• and
• a positioning member and a base to which said positioning member is attached in the assembled state of the radio frequency connector,
• said base comprising a passage into which said radio frequency connection interface and said interchangeable radio frequency adapter extend at least partly,
• said passage having a threaded section that interacts with a threaded section of said interchangeable radio frequency adapter via which said interchangeable radio frequency adapter is screwed in,
• said positioning member having an inner thread portion that interacts with an outer thread portion provided at said base such that said positioning member is screwed onto said base,
• said positioning member being configured to position said interchangeable radio frequency adapter with respect to said radio frequency connection interface in the assembled state,
• said positioning member having an inner shoulder portion that engages with a protrusion provided at an outer surface of said interchangeable radio frequency adapter, wherein interaction between said protrusion and said inner shoulder portion ensures that said interchangeable radio frequency adapter is aligned in a radial direction and the axial direction with respect to said radio frequency connection interface when said positioning member is attached to said base;
• said positioning member configured to be detachably attached such that said positioning member is able to be detached in the disassembled state of the radio frequency connector, thereby allowing detachment of said interchangeable radio frequency adapter with respect to said radio frequency connection interface.
