@Dylan: I'm not answering jack until you upvote and accept the answers on some of the seven questions you've got open. And you can ask about the dynamic range of the spectrum analyzer on the main site, as well.
And, you may have read the link KingDuken pointed you at, but it doesn't seem to have gotten through.
@KingDuken We had hats last year, so I expect we'll have them this year.
I'm just start reading about transmission lines, things here is are pretty different so I lost. TEM wave between 2 conductors wich are PEC. Since we have PEC, the wave don't penetrate inside conductors (skin depth is zero). As wave propagetes it induces current on surface. Besides that there is no tangential part of E field, only normal. Now replace PECs with real one.
Wave start to penetrate into conductors, skin depth appears. But I can't understand, why elecric field which was normal to surface becomes tangential inside conductors as it penetrates into them ?
@Dylan There's a line for displayed average noise level, and a line for max CW RF power. The difference between them is (at least one sense of) the dynamic range.
@KingDuken I've used some of their connectors where there were 96 (IIRC) contacts rated for 10 Gbps. Used like 8 for 10 Gbps and the rest for power / ground / low-speed digital. Cost of the connector (board-to-board) was $5-10, I think.
