What is RP-SMA connector?

What is RP-SMA connector?

Reverse polarity SMA (RP-SMA) is a variation of the SMA connector specification which reverses the gender of the interface, as shown in Figures 1-4 below. The term “reverse polarity” refers only to the gender of the connector’s contact pin, not in any way to the signal polarity.

Is SMA and RP-SMA same?

What is the difference in these two? Reverse polarity SMA (RP-SMA or RSMA) is designed to be incompatible with standard SMA connectors to comply with U.S. FCC regulations which seek to prevent consumers from attaching non-standard aerials to wireless devices.

What is RP-SMA connectors?

How can you tell the difference between SMA RP and SMA?

The male RP-SMA connector has the same external housing as a standard male SMA connector except the center male pin is replaced by a receptacle. The female RP-SMA connector has the same housing as a standard female SMA connector however the pin found on a male SMA connector is on the female RP-SMA connector.

What is an SMA connector?

Molex SMA Connectors are high-performance subminiature connectors for microwave frequencies. The threaded coupling ensures uniform contact of the outer conductors, which enables the SMA to minimize reflections and attenuation at higher frequencies while providing a high degree of mechanical strength and durability.

What are the dimensions of a RP SMA female connector?

The SMA female connector is identified by outside 1/4″-36 threads. A standard polarity connector will not have a female sleeve, but will have a male pin. RP SMA Female Dimensions Outer Diameter: 5.49mm

What is an example of RF leakage?

Leakage An RF signal that is coupling into unwanted portions of a circuit is described as “leaking.” A classic example of leakage is depicted in the following diagram: The local oscillator (LO) signal is fed directly to the LO input of the mixer; this is the intentional conduction path.
