2 W F M DUMMY LOAD 3GHZ

Power Rating: 2 W (2 watts)

The maximum continuous power the dummy load can safely handle without overheating.
Connector Type: Female (specific type not mentioned, but common types include SMA, N, or BNC)

The dummy load will have a female connector of the type specified, designed to connect to RF cables with matching male connectors.
Frequency Range: Up to 3 GHz

Effective for use up to 3 gigahertz, maintaining reliable performance and impedance characteristics within this frequency range.
Impedance: 50 ohms

Standard impedance for most RF systems, ensuring proper matching with typical RF equipment.
VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio): Typically < 1.3:1

Indicates good impedance matching. A VSWR of less than 1.3:1 means minimal signal reflection and efficient performance.
Body Material: Typically aluminum or stainless steel

Provides durability and effective thermal dissipation.
Thermal Management: Basic heat dissipation features

Designed to handle the heat generated by 2 watts of RF power with sufficient cooling or ventilation.
Dimensions: Varies by model

Generally compact, often in the range of 2 to 4 inches in length and 0.5 to 1 inch in diameter.
Weight: Lightweight, typically 2 to 4 ounces

Facilitates easy handling and integration into test setups.
Connector Finish: Usually gold-plated or nickel-plated

Ensures good electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance.
Usage
Testing: Suitable for testing RF equipment that operates up to 2 watts. Ideal for bench testing and field work.
Calibration: Useful for calibrating RF systems to ensure accurate performance.
Maintenance: Assists in diagnosing and troubleshooting RF systems, ensuring they function properly.
Notes
Power Handling: Ensure that the dummy load is not subjected to power levels exceeding its 2-watt rating to avoid overheating or damage.
Connector Compatibility: Verify the type of female connector required (e.g., SMA female, N female) and ensure compatibility with your test equipment.
Cooling: While 2 watts is relatively low power, ensure adequate ventilation to maintain optimal operating conditions.
This dummy load is ideal for applications that require moderate power handling and is commonly used in RF laboratories, testing environments, and fieldwork where a 2-watt load is sufficient. The female connector allows for flexibility in connecting with various RF cables and equipment
