Test Setup Information Scope: Provide standing wave ratio, return loss and insertion loss performance parameters for 2.4 mm vertical compression mount connector. Instrument Setup & Test Accessories:

Network Analyzer Keysight PNA N5227A Averaging Factor 1 Smoothing Off IF Bandwidth 700 Hz Sweep Start 10 MHz Sweep End 50 GHz Points 5000 Test Cables Gore 0F0CACB036.0-LF (DC to 67 GHz)

Calibration Type: A Keysight mechanical calibration is performed using the Maury 85056D 2.4mm

Mechanical Calibration kit. Calibration Kit Maury 85056D 2.4mm Mechanical Calibration kit

Adapter Use: BE40A calibration board, PCB-108523-SIG, was used for the measurements of 240-J-P-EP-ST-CM-X P.The traces effects were removed from the measurement using the Fixture Removal method. Test System Description The test fixture is composed of a six-layer Isola material with 50Ω signal trace and vary-ing launch designs to reflect performance on different routing layers. Optimization of the RF launch was performed using full wave simulation tools to minimize reflections. These launch designs were implemented on PCB-108523-SIG. 50 GHz Calibration standards specific to the aforementioned PCB were used for 240-J-P-EP-ST-CM-X P measure-ments.
