Nonmagnetic cables are key to transmit RF signals within a magnetic field
Non-Magnetic RF Interconnect Solutions
Non-magnetic coaxial cables and connectors are primarily used in applications that must transmit RF signals within a magnetic field, such MRI diagnostic imaging systems, and quantum computers. For example, quantum computers use non-magnetic components in key areas of the signal path to eliminate potential interference with applied magnetic fields. MRI systems require non-magnetic RF interconnects to send and receive pulsed RF signals; the presence of any magnetic material in these components may interfere with the magnetic field and reduce the accuracy of images.
A non-magnetic, or non-metal coaxial cable or connector must be “invisible” to the magnetic field, which requires very low susceptibility and no field distortion. Non-magnetic RF connectors are mainly used in applications where a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is required. Nonmagnetic connectors are available in various interface sizes, the most popular ones are MCX and SMP.
At Times Microwave Systems, we build hermetically sealed custom coaxial cabling assemblies that address the need for reliable performance in grueling environments by utilizing advanced manufacturing techniques that ensure zero electric field distortion.
