Passive HF- und Mikrowellenbauteile, Messung des Intermodulationspegels - Teil 3: Messung der passiven Intermodulation in koaxialen Steckverbindern (IEC 62037-3:2012); Deutsche Fassung EN 62037-3:2012
Overview
The standards of the IEC 62037 series describe the measurement of the passive intermodulation level. This standard defines the impact test on coaxial connectors to evaluate their robustness against weak connections and particles inside the connector as independently as possible from the effects of cable passive intermodulation. For other connectors (for instance panel mounted connectors), the cable can be replaced by an adequate transmission-line (for instance airline, stripline). The responsible committee is DKE/K 412 "Kommunikationskabel (Kabel, Leitungen, Wellenleiter, Lichtwellenleiter, Komponenten, Zubehör und Anlagentechnik für die Nachrichten- und Informationsübertragung)" ("Communication cables (Cables, wires, waveguides, fibre optics, components, equipment and installation technology for the transmission of news and information)") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
