Overview
EN 2591-222:2007 is a CEN/Aerospace series test method that defines a vectorial measurement method for insertion loss (I.L.) of coaxial contacts and connectors with a specified characteristic impedance. The standard specifies how to measure insertion loss across the required frequency bandwidth using S‑parameters (see Annex A) and is intended to be used together with EN 2591-100 (General test methods).
Keywords: insertion loss, S-parameters, vector network analyser, coaxial connectors, characteristic impedance, aerospace standard, EN 2591-222.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope: Measurement of insertion loss for coax contacts/connectors in their required frequency range.
- Measurement method: Vectorial S‑parameter method (S11, S12, S21, S22). Annex A gives definitions and physical meaning of S‑parameters.
- Specimen preparation:
- Minimum two cable assemblies per cable type: a Reference section and a Measure section.
- Reference section: 600 ± 5 mm coax cable with one male and one female connector.
- Measure section: same components but with the device under test (DUT) installed centrally in a 2 × (300 ± 2.5) mm cable length.
- Use the same connector type on each section.
- Connector performance: selected coaxial connectors must offer optimum performance for the cable and frequency range and have a reflection coefficient better than 0.1 (−20 dB) in the test band.
- Apparatus: vector network analyser (VNA), calibration kit, standard precision adapters, and a 75 Ω transformation kit if measuring 75 Ω devices with a 50 Ω VNA.
- Procedure:
- Full VNA calibration across the chosen frequency range and sample points.
- Measure reference section (record S12/S21), then replace with measure section (record S12/S21).
- Sample insertion loss = (measured insertion loss) − (reference insertion loss).
- Insertion loss of one contact/connector = pair loss ÷ 2.
- Items to specify in a test report: part numbers, VNA model/serial, frequency range, sample point count, measurement impedance (50 Ω or 75 Ω), adapters, wiring/tooling, coupling torque for threaded connectors, and connection length for coax contacts.
Applications and who uses it
- Aerospace OEMs, connector and cable manufacturers, independent test laboratories, RF engineers and quality assurance teams use EN 2591-222 to:
- Verify RF performance of coax contacts and connectors.
- Confirm compliance with product specifications for insertion loss.
- Support design validation, incoming inspection, and acceptance testing in avionics and aerospace RF systems.
- Practical benefits: repeatable, traceable measurement using standard S‑parameter techniques and VNAs enables accurate assessment of connector loss across frequency.
