EMC Question
of the Week

A signal traveling on a 50-Ω coaxial cable passes through an unshielded connector whose conductors are two identical blades with a 50-Ω characteristic impedance before continuing along another 50-Ω coaxial cable. At frequencies where the connector is short relative to a wavelength, the connector can be accurately modeled as a,

  1. series inductor
  2. shunt capacitor
  3. common-mode voltage source
  4. common-mode current source
