Abstract
A substrate structure is provided, the substrate structure comprising: a molded substrate located within a connector body of a coaxial cable connector and an electrical structure mechanically connected to the molded substrate. The electrical structure is located in a position that is external to a signal path of a radio frequency (RF) signal flowing through the coaxial cable connector. The electrical structure may form a sensing circuit configured to sense physical parameters such as a condition of the RF electrical signal flowing through the connector or a presence of moisture in the connector.
