Impedance
Impedance describes the complex alternating current resistance of an electrical connection and consists of ohmic resistance, inductance, and capacitance. It is expressed in ohms (Ω) and is frequency-dependent. Impedance significantly influences signal transmission in test and interconnect systems, particularly in Radio Frequency and high-speed applications, and is crucial for low-loss, interference-free, and low-reflection signal routing.
FAQ
As frequency increases, signals become more sensitive to reflections, losses, and impedance variations. Therefore, test systems and contact solutions must be optimized for RF signal transmission and signal integrity.
Impedance matching means that the source, line, and load are matched to minimize signal loss and reflections.
Impedance plays a crucial role, particularly in Radio Frequency Testing, high-speed data transmission, and RF connections.
