I knew that we can test the resistance on coax cable which put a terminator at one end of cable and used meter connect at the other end. Resistance should be around 75-78 Ohm. How do you test the frequency? So we know that cable is good to use.

IF the resistance drop, will the frequency drop?

I know this is an old question but one worthy of an answer for all members. Check this site for Coax Cable Basics has some good information:
