Some years ago I bought some right angle SMA adaptors direct from China 
and when I tried to use them at 10 GHz on my transverter and PA I found 
they had a great deal of excessive loss. I cut one open and found a 
unterminated open stub as part of the construction. I wrote a paper 
about them that is on line at:
