Microwave RF cables are cables with good high-frequency characteristics and microwave transmission characteristics for transmitting high-frequency signals and microwave signals. According to different structures and materials, microwave radio frequency cable can be divided into many different types, suitable for different application scenarios.

I. Classification according to structure

1. Coaxial cable: Coaxial cable is one of the most common microwave RF cables, and its structure includes inner conductor, insulation layer, outer conductor and outer sheath. Coaxial cable has good shielding performance and transmission performance, suitable for long-distance high-frequency signal transmission.

2. microstrip cable: microstrip cable is a planar structure of microwave radio frequency cable, consisting of conductor layer, insulation layer and cover layer. Microstrip cables are small in size and light in weight, and are suitable for high-density integrated microwave circuit board connections.

3. fiber optic cable: fiber optic cable is a microwave RF cable using optical fiber to transmit signals, with very high frequency and bandwidth characteristics, suitable for long distance, high-speed data transmission.

Second, according to the material classification

1. copper conductor cable: copper conductor is the traditional coaxial cable materials, with good conductivity and strength, suitable for high-frequency transmission.

2. aluminum conductor cable: aluminum conductor is a lightweight coaxial cable materials, suitable for applications that need to reduce the weight of the cable.

3. silver conductor cable: silver conductor is a high conductivity coaxial cable material, with low loss and signal attenuation, suitable for high transmission quality requirements.

4. copper-aluminum alloy cable: copper-aluminum alloy is a coaxial cable material with good oxidation resistance, suitable for long-term use in outdoor environments.

Microwave RF cables come in a wide variety of types and are applicable to a wide range of applications. Different kinds of microwave RF cables have different characteristics in terms of transmission frequency, bandwidth, loss, anti-interference, etc., which can meet the needs of a variety of different application scenarios.
