Six-Gigahertz Coaxial Cable

Steve Lampen

Digital video systems require testing and performance verification at high frequencies. What frequencies should be used for testing? Up to this point a de facto bandwidth limit has been set at 3 GHz. Advances in transfer of wide-screen film formats, high-pixel rate cameras and projectors, and other applications seem to indicate that a 3 GHz bandwidth may be insufficient for many emerging applications. This paper will present a short history of bandwidth, with examples of high-bandwidth applications, and discuss some approaches to designing coaxial cable for these applications.
