Abstract (en)

A RF connector includes a first coupler section and a symmetrical second coupler section. Each coupler section includes a housing having a cuboid shape with an open side forming an open channel and holding a conductor. Each conductor has an elongated structure of a flat conductive material with a length corresponding to ¼ of a nominal frequency of a signal to be coupled and is connected with a first end to a coaxial connector and with a second end to the housing. The RF connector can be switched between an ON state and an OFF state, wherein in the OFF state, the first coupler section is distant from the second coupler section and in the ON state the first coupler section is in close contact with the second coupler section such that the open sides of their housings are oriented against each other, and the conductors are facing each other.
