Passive RF and microwave devices, intermodulation level measurement - Part 2: Measurement of passive intermodulation in coaxial cable assemblies

IEC 62037-2:2012(E) defines a procedure to measure levels of passive intermodulation generated by a coaxial cable assembly. This test method is applicable to jumper cables, i.e. cable assemblies intended to provide interface flexibility between rigid devices.

Passive HF- und Mikrowellenbauteile, Messung des Intermodulationspegels – Teil 2: Messung der passiven Intermodulation in konfektionierten Koaxialkabeln

Dispositifs RF et à micro-ondes passifs, mesure du niveau d’intermodulation - Partie 2: Mesure de l’intermodulation passive dans les cordons coaxiaux

La CEI 62037-2:2012 définit une procédure pour la mesure des niveaux d'intermodulation passive générés par un cordon coaxial. Cette méthode d'essai s'applique aux jarretières, c'est-à-dire aux cordons destinés à fournir une interface flexible entre des dispositifs rigides.

Pasivne radiofrekvenčne (rf) in mikrovalovne naprave, meritve intermodulacijskega nivoja - 2. del: Meritve pasivne intermodulacije v koaksialnih kabelskih sestavih (IEC 62037-2:2012)

Ta del standarda IEC 62037 določa postopek za merjenje ravni pasivne intermodulacije, ki jo proizvede koaksialni kabelski sestav. Ta preskusna metoda se uporablja za povezovalne vode, tj. kabelske sestave, ki so namenjeni zagotavljanju vmesniške prilagodljivosti med togimi napravami.
