Abstract: A coaxial connector junction includes first and second coaxial connectors. The first coaxial connector engages the second coaxial connector, a substantially cylindrical member of a first central conductor extension of the first connector being inserted into the cavity of a second central conductor extension of the second connector, and a second outer conductor extension of the second connector being inserted into a first outer conductor extension of the first connector such that a capacitive element is created between the first and second outer conductor extensions by a gap between the first outer conductor extension and the second outer conductor extension. At least one of a length of the gap, an inner diameter of the second outer conductor extension, a thickness and dielectric constant of the capacitive element is selected such that the return loss of the junction is maintained below a preselected level over a preselected frequency range.

Abstract: A coaxial cable-connector assembly includes a coaxial cable and a right angle coaxial connector. The cable comprises: an inner conductor having a termination end; a first dielectric layer; and an outer conductor having a termination end. The connector comprises: an inner contact comprising a post configured to mate with the inner conductor body of a mating cable jack, the inner contact further including a receptacle that receives the termination end of the inner conductor such that the post is generally perpendicular to the inner conductor; and an outer conductor body configured to mate with the outer conductor body of the mating jack, the outer conductor body being connected with the termination end of the outer conductor. A second dielectric layer is interposed between the inner contact of the connector and the inner conductor of the coaxial cable that creates a capacitive element between the inner contact and the inner conductor.
