How much shielding does the Q2™ products have compared to Q Series™ products?
Testing showed an improvement of 10-20 dB over the frequency range of 1-4 GHz and 0-10 dB from 4-10 GHz. This was a comparison test where the radiated field of the shielded connector (Q2™) was compared to the radiated field of an unshielded connector (Q Series™). The key to a meaningful test is that all variables in the test setup and on the test board need to the same for both tests. Full wave simulation showed an improvement of approximately 10 dB over the 1-10 GHz frequency range as well.
