Characterizing and Verifying Antenna Systems
Potential Problems
Connectors
The following conditions may cause problems with connectors:
• low quality connectors
• poor connector contact
• moisture
• corrosion
Connectors present a great potential for problems, since moisture will
invariably find its way inside. Normal atmospheric pressure changes will
always equalize unless the system is deliberately pressurized. Low
quality connectors, poor connector contact, corroded connectors, and
improperly tightened or loose connectors are examples of critical fault
conditions. Over time, these conditions can cause degradation or
complete system failure.
