An apparatus, system and method for facilitating the calibration and measurement of differential devices by a variety of laboratory fixtures. An adapter is used to transition the connection of standard coaxial interfaces to a hermaphroditic differential interface while compensating for discontinuities on impedance at the connection. The adapter includes a transition region with conductors and shield dimensions that compensate for the discontinuity in impedance. The adapter has pin and socket inputs so that a mated pair of the adapters provides an insertable device for test and measurement on a four port vector network analyzer.
An adapter for converting single-ended coaxial signals to differential signals, comprising:
An interface apparatus for connecting a differential device to an adapter for converting single-ended coaxial signals to differential signals, comprising:
An apparatus for converting a single-ended signal of a first device having a coaxial interface to a differential signal of a second device having a differential interface while maintaining uniform differential impedance at a connection between coaxial and differential environments, wherein said first device is a testing device and said second device is a device under test.
A system for converting from single-ended coaxial signals to differential signals, comprising:
A method for converting from single-ended coaxial signals to differential signals, comprising:
A method for converting from single-ended coaxial signals to differential signals by providing a connection between coaxial and differential transmission environments that compensates for differential impedance discontinuity at a connection between coaxial and differential environments, wherein said compensation is achieved prior to connection to a device under test.
An insertable test device, comprising:
