Abstract
A coaxial connector assembly includes: a first plurality of first coaxial connectors mounted within a shell, the shell defining a plurality of electrically isolated cavities, each of the first coaxial connectors being located in a respective cavity; a plurality of first coaxial cables, each of the coaxial cables attached to a respective one of the first coaxial connectors; a second coaxial connector mounted within the shell, the second coaxial connector being smaller that the first coaxial connectors; and a second coaxial cable attached to the second coaxial connector, the second coaxial cable being smaller than the first coaxial cables.
Claims18
A coaxial connector assembly, comprising:
- four first coaxial connectors mounted within a shell, the shell defining four first cavities, each of the first coaxial connectors being located in a respective cavity and being electrically isolated from each other;
- wherein each of the four first coaxial connectors comprises an inner conductor, an outer conductor, and an insulating material located between the inner conductor and outer conductor;
- wherein each of the first coaxial connectors is mounted within its respective first cavity to float radially and axially relative to each of the other first coaxial connectors;
- four first coaxial cables, each of the coaxial cables attached to a respective one of the first coaxial connectors:
- wherein each of the four first coaxial cables comprises an inner conductor, an outer conductor, and an insulating material located between the inner conductor and outer conductor;
- wherein the four first coaxial connectors are disposed such that a first and a second of the first coaxial connectors define a first axis, and wherein a third and a fourth of the first coaxial connectors define a second axis, and wherein the first and second axes intersect at an intersection point;
- and
- wherein a second cavity is present in the shell, the second cavity being positioned at the intersection point.
A coaxial connector assembly, comprising:
- four first coaxial connectors mounted within a shell, the shell defining four first cavities, each of the cavities including a gap, each of the first coaxial connectors being located in a respective cavity and being electrically isolated from each other;
- wherein each of the four first coaxial connectors comprises an inner conductor, an outer conductor, and an insulating material located between the inner conductor and outer conductor;
- four first coaxial cables, each of the coaxial cables attached to a respective one of the first coaxial connectors:
- wherein each of the four first coaxial cables comprises an inner conductor, an outer conductor, and an insulating material located between the inner conductor and outer conductor;
- wherein the four first coaxial connectors are disposed such that a first and a second of the first coaxial connectors define a first axis, and wherein a third and a fourth of the first coaxial connectors define a second axis, and wherein the first and second axes intersect at an intersection point;
- and
- wherein a second cavity is present in the shell, the second cavity being positioned at the intersection point.
