Abstract
A coaxial connector arrangement for transferring high frequency microwave signals between a coaxial cable and a further device is disclosed. In many present systems, the connector arrangement whereby microwave signals are passed from a coaxial cable to a device or the like at high frequencies has a tendency of radiating. Not only do the radiative emissions lose power, but this radiation can combine with the desired signals to form intermodulation products which further lose signal power and also distort the signal. The mating faces of the connector provide a malleable raised line portion which is disposed about the central conductor whereby a continuous line contact is defined on the mating components about the inner conductor, thereby preventing emission of high frequency signals which may interact with the intended signals.
