Power Rating: 10 W (10 watts)
The maximum continuous power the dummy load can safely handle without overheating.
Connector Type: N Male
The N connector is a threaded, coaxial RF connector known for its durability and stable performance at higher frequencies.
Frequency Range: Up to 3 GHz
Effective for use up to 3 gigahertz, maintaining reliable performance within this frequency range.
Impedance: 50 ohms
Standard impedance for most RF applications, ensuring compatibility with typical RF systems and equipment.
VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio): Typically < 1.2:1
Indicates the level of impedance mismatch. A VSWR of less than 1.2:1 reflects good impedance matching and minimal signal reflection.
Body Material: Typically aluminum or stainless steel
Provides durability and effective heat dissipation.
Thermal Management: Designed with a heat sink or other cooling features to manage the heat generated during operation.
Dimensions: Varies by model
Generally compact, with dimensions around 2 to 4 inches in length and 0.5 to 1 inch in diameter, making it suitable for various setups.
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 resistance to corrosion.
Usage
Testing: Suitable for testing RF transmitters, receivers, and other equipment that operates at up to 10 watts.
Calibration: Useful for calibrating RF systems to ensure accurate performance.
Maintenance: Helps diagnose and troubleshoot RF systems, ensuring they are functioning correctly.
Notes
Power Handling: Ensure that the dummy load is not used beyond its rated power of 10 watts to avoid damage.
Cooling: Adequate ventilation or cooling is important during prolonged use to prevent overheating.
Connector Compatibility: Verify that the N male connector matches your test equipment or use appropriate adapters if needed.
This dummy load is ideal for laboratory testing, field work, and any situation where RF equipment needs to be tested at moderate power levels.
