RF systems rarely fail in obvious ways. More often, performance erodes quietly; a dB here, a little range there, until designs no longer match expectations. In this episode, we discuss one of the most overlooked sources of RF loss: the transition from a controlled‑impedance PCB trace to a connector and coaxial cable. You'll learn why "50 ohms" is a wave property, not a component value, how small geometry changes at the PCB‑to‑connector interface can create impedance discontinuities, and why connectors and cables should be treated as part of the transmission line, not mechanical afterthoughts. We'll also c...
