Hi Andy,
This question was posted on Interference Technology’s Military forum <http://www.interferencetechnology.com/markets/military/forums.html> . The following reply was from one of our readers. You can't use RG59, that's 75 ohm cable not 50. RG58 is 50 ohm but only one shield. You need at least a double shielded cable, RG223 or RG214 etc. You could always use a BNC to N adapter. Just make sure to add it to the cable loss. Sorry, not sure about the ferrite. Thanks, Kate Savo Interference Technology Forums Editor www.interferencetechnology.com/ 484-688-0300 ext 26 ks...@interferencetechnology.com From: Price, Andrew (SELEX GALILEO, UK) [mailto:andrew.p.pr...@selexgalileo.com] Sent: Wednesday, July 29, 2009 7:43 AM To: EMC-PSTC@LISTSERV.IEEE.ORG Subject: [PSES] Mil-Std-461F 41" rod Ferrite & Cable query? Hi all. A question regarding Mil-Std-461F for the mil experts. What ferrite is recomended for the cable from the 41" Rod to the bonded elbow? What is the prefered cable i.e. RG59/U, RG58C/U (both used for BNC cables or RG214/U often used for N type cables)? Regards Andy Andrew P.
