Abstract
Coaxial connectors are used extensively in cables and microwave components. Any losses or reflections are detrimental to a microwave or RF system as they reduce the power transmitted and they become a source of noise thus reducing the overall system Signal to Noise ratio. In this paper a new type of connector is being introduced which avoids step discontinuities by incorporating smooth transitions. Measurements show that there is an improvement in the performance of such connectors.
