What is an SMA connector?
- A.A type-S to type-M adaptor
- B.A small threaded connector suitable for signals up to several GHz (correct answer)
- C.A connector designed for serial multiple access signals
- D.A type of push-on connector intended for high-voltage applications
WhyAn SMA connector is a small threaded connector suitable for signals up to several GHz. An SMA connector is a small, precision threaded RF connector commonly used for signals up to several gigahertz, popular on handheld radios and RF test equipment, answer B. It isn't a type-S-to-type-M adapter, has nothing to do with serial data access protocols, and it's a threaded, not push-on, design, so A, C, and D are wrong.
