Abstract: Two connection interfaces are combined in a single assembly for high frequency signal propagation of a GPS antenna. At least one connection interface is a constant impedance connector. The connector assembly allows for the application of o-rings and gaskets to be placed circumferentially about the radome to protect against environmental elements, mechanical shock and vibration. The first connection interface has a male plug on a first piece of a dual connector design, and a complementary female plug on a second piece. The second connection interface comprises a plug of any standard industry connector mounted on the second piece opposite the complementary female plug, and is configured to easily mate to a corresponding plug from a cable or other electronic equipment.

Abstract: A connector or first plug is provided for receiving a mating plug or second plug, forming a constant impedance connection. The center conductor of the first plug is supported for enhanced structural integrity with a cap attached over a portion of the center conductor that extends beyond the outer conductor portion of the same plug. The constant impedance connection consists of the two plugs partially or fully engaged. The mating plug has an outer conductor that projects beyond the inner conductor, and is made to receive the connector or first plug portions. Once engaged, the connector and mating plug have mating dimensions that satisfy an impedance equality expression for a relationship between the inner conductor cap's outer diameter, the outer conductor's inner diameter, and the dielectric constant.
