HUBER+SUHNER QN coaxial connectors are available with 50 8 impedance. The frequency range extends to 11 GHz, depending on the connector and
cable type, however most of the QN connectors are Return Loss optimised for frequencies up to 6 GH z. The i nterface is based on the inner dimensions of the N connector, but, instead of a threaded coupling mechanism,
a new snap-lock mechanism is used.
The QN interface has a very similar performance to the
N, but in addition it offers an easier, faster and saver
couplingoperation, helpingthe customers to savesignificantly time during production of their systems.
The packaging density of QN increased compared to
N thanks to the fact that no torque spanner is required
to fasten the coupling nut. Additionally the outer dimensions of QN are smaller than N, leading to the advantage that TNC-size flanges can be used at QN connectors.

QN-CALIBRATION WITH ADAPTOR SWAPPING METHOD
For return Loss/VSWR measurement of QN connectors, HUBER+SUHNER recommends the following calibration
method:
1. Calibration with PC7 to PC7 calibration adaptors (PC7calibration)
Adaptors:32_PC7-U50-0-1/1--_NE (Item no. 23032719) and
33_PC7-U50-0-1/1--_NE (Item no. 23032721)
Calibration Kit

to NWAcalibration adaptorcalibration adaptorto NWA
Alternative calibration with N to PC7 calibration adaptors (N calibration)
Adaptors:32_N-PC7-50-6/1--_NE (Item no. 23032917) see page 373 or
33_PC7-N-50-6/1--_NE (Item no. 23032916) see page 374

2. Exchanging of the calibration adaptors with the required QN adaptors
32_PC7-QN-50-1/1--_NE (Item no. 23032720) see page 377 or
33_PC7-QN-50-1/1--_NE (Item no. 23032722) see page 377
DUT
Thanks to the same electrical length and the same return loss behaviour of all these adaptors, the adaptor swapping
method can be used (same dimensions of all electrical relevant piece parts in these adaptors).
