Very basically, that analysis says that there are losses associated with UHF connectors because of they're not being a constant impedance. Where the 'N' connectors are a constant 50 ohm impedance so don't have those particular losses. I figure that 'loss' thing is going to be fairly standard for any UHF connector, so it sort of boils down to how much 'blood' you wanna squeeze out of that 'stone'.
