RF Chain, Antenna & EMC
Practical engineering guidance for RF feeder cables, connectors, adapters, antenna paths, insertion loss, grounding, shielding, impedance matching, EMI control, and antenna-side signal performance.

Dummy load rating depends on load-input power, frequency, duty cycle, cooling, duration, VSWR, and interface limits. Verify them before RF PA acceptance.
09/14/2026
2-6 GHz PA specifications go beyond wattage. Compare actual Pin, PA-port Pout, 200 MHz bandwidth, RF path loss, and antenna-end power before selection.

Wide RF coverage can create C-UAS interference with internal radios and Wi-Fi. Learn how to define protected bands and verify RF performance before deployment.
07/27/2026
A C-UAS antenna can cover the band and still fail in the field. Compare horn, omni, and multi-port panels by gain, beamwidth, power, VSWR, and feeder loss.
07/20/2026
Drone jammer testing should verify actual SDR output before PA integration, including occupied bandwidth, Actual Pin, spectral quality, and repeatability.
07/08/2026
A real antenna load can change measured RF PA results after a bench pass. See how reference plane, FWD/REV, path loss, and protection evidence affect approval.
