Does anyone have a specification of the APC-7 connector? I'm wanting the mechanical specifications.
My aim is to put a 3D model of an open-circuit APC-7 connector into a 3D EM simulator, find out how the fringing capacitance varies with frequency, then try to work out the coefficients which could be fed into a VNA so this could be used as an open-standard. (An HP/Agilent for a VNA considers it to have some delay in ps, and a 4th order polynomial fit of capacitance vs freqency.)
I'm just wondering if this is practical or not. It would be an interesting experiment. But I need a much information about the connector as possible to make this practical.
