Coaxial Terminations (DC-67GHz)

Product Features

• Wide Frequency Range: Covers from DC (Direct Current) up to high frequencies (e.g., 67GHz and beyond), suitable for a broad spectrum of RF/microwave applications.
• Excellent Power Absorption: Efficiently absorbs residual RF energy on the transmission line, preventing signal reflections.
• Extremely Low VSWR: Provides outstanding impedance matching, minimizing signal reflections to ensure stable operation and accurate measurements of connected devices.
• High Power Handling: Capable of dissipating various power levels of Continuous Wave (CW) and pulsed power, ranging from milliwatts to kilowatts.
• Rugged and Durable: Employs robust construction and high-quality materials to ensure long-term reliability, capable of withstanding harsh environments and high temperatures.
• Efficient Heat Dissipation: High-power models are typically designed with heat sinks or utilize forced air/liquid cooling to effectively manage and dissipate generated heat.
• Various Connector Types: Available with a wide range of standard coaxial connectors (e.g., SMA, N-type, BNC, 2.92mm, 2.4mm, 1.85mm, etc.), facilitating easy integration with different test equipment and systems.
• Compact Design: Especially for low-power models, designs are often very small, convenient for use in space-constrained applications.

Applications

• Test and Measurement:
  • As Precision Matched Loads: Used for port termination on RF test equipment such as network analyzers, signal generators, and power meters to ensure measurement accuracy.
  • Protecting RF Sources: Acts as a safe load to absorb excess power when testing power amplifiers or other RF components, preventing reverse power damage to signal sources.
  • System Calibration: Serves as a standard load during the calibration of RF test systems.
• RF System Termination:
  • Terminating Unused Ports: Terminates unused ports of components like couplers, power dividers, and switches to prevent reflections from interfering with the system.
  • Antenna Simulation: Simulates an ideal antenna load in environments without an antenna connected or during testing.
  • Impedance Matching: Ensures impedance continuity across the entire system link, reducing signal loss and VSWR.
• Communication Systems:
  • Base Stations and Repeaters: Terminates unused ports or serves as a test point load.
  • Microwave Backhaul Links: Protects transceivers.
• Laboratory and R&D:
  • Prototype Testing: Provides a stable load during the development and testing of new RF circuits and components.
  • Troubleshooting: Helps engineers isolate fault points by terminating lines to check performance of individual sections.
• Military and Aerospace:
  • Radar and Electronic Warfare Systems: Used for termination matching and power dissipation.
  • Airborne/Spaceborne Equipment: Provides stable termination in applications with high reliability requirements.
