Power Rating: 2 W (2 watts)
The maximum continuous power that the dummy load can handle without overheating or damage.
Connector Type: N Male
The N connector is a threaded, coaxial RF connector known for its durability and reliability in high-frequency applications.
Frequency Range: Up to 3 GHz
Effective for operation up to 3 gigahertz, ensuring consistent performance and impedance characteristics within this frequency range.
Impedance: 50 ohms
Standard impedance for most RF equipment, ensuring proper load matching and compatibility with typical RF systems.
VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio): Typically < 1.2:1
Reflects the quality of impedance matching. A VSWR of less than 1.2:1 indicates minimal signal reflection and excellent performance.
Body Material: Typically aluminum or stainless steel
Provides durability and effective heat dissipation, essential for handling the 2-watt power rating.
Thermal Management: Basic heat dissipation features
Designed to handle the heat generated by 2 watts of RF power, usually including basic cooling mechanisms or heat sinks.
Dimensions: Varies by model
Generally compact, with dimensions around 1.5 to 3 inches in length and 0.5 to 1 inch in diameter, making it suitable for various setups.
Weight: Lightweight, typically 1 to 2 ounces
Easy to handle and integrate into testing environments.
Connector Finish: Usually gold-plated or nickel-plated
Ensures good electrical conductivity and resistance to corrosion, contributing to reliable performance.
Usage
Low-Power Testing: Ideal for testing RF equipment operating at up to 2 watts. Useful in laboratory setups, field testing, and scenarios where lower power levels are involved.
Calibration: Assists in calibrating RF systems to ensure accurate performance at lower power levels.
Maintenance: Useful for diagnosing and troubleshooting RF systems, helping to ensure they operate correctly.
Notes
Power Handling: Ensure the dummy load is used within its 2-watt rating to avoid overheating or damage.
Cooling: For a 2-watt load, cooling requirements are minimal, but adequate ventilation is recommended to maintain optimal performance.
Connector Compatibility: Verify that the N male connector is compatible with your RF equipment or use appropriate adapters if necessary.
This dummy load is suitable for applications where accurate load simulation and low to moderate power handling are required. Its compact size and effective performance at up to 2 watts make it a practical choice for various RF testing and calibration tasks.
