'''General Radio 874 (GR-874)''' connectors are hermaphroditic (asexual) coaxial RF connectors developed by [[wikipedia:Eduard Karplus|Eduard Karplus]] at [[General Radio]] in the late 1940s, initially for applications up to "4500 Mc" (4.5 GHz). | '''General Radio 874 (GR-874)''' connectors are hermaphroditic (asexual) coaxial RF connectors developed by [[wikipedia:Eduard Karplus|Eduard Karplus]] at [[General Radio]] in the late 1940s, initially for applications up to "4500 Mc" (4.5 GHz). | ||
They first appeared in the [[grwiki:Catalogs|General Radio Catalog L of 1948]]. | |||
GR-874 connectors are carefully engineered to keep a constant impedance throughout the signal path, by varying connector diameters between free-air and dielectrically supported sections. These connectors therefore exhibit very little reflection and are well suited for frequencies up to 9 GHz and pulse applications. For higher frequencies a smaller connector is required to avoid the excitation of wave guide modes. | GR-874 connectors are carefully engineered to keep a constant impedance throughout the signal path, by varying connector diameters between free-air and dielectrically supported sections.
