Power Rating: 5 W (5 watts)
The maximum continuous power that the dummy load can handle without overheating or damage.
Connector Type: N Male
The N connector is a coaxial RF connector known for its durability and high-frequency performance. The male connector allows for secure connections with compatible RF cables and equipment.
Frequency Range: Up to 3 GHz
Designed to operate effectively within this frequency range, ensuring reliable performance and accurate impedance matching up to 3 gigahertz.
Impedance: 50 ohms
Standard impedance for most RF systems, ensuring compatibility with typical RF equipment and proper load matching.
VSWR (Voltage Standing Wave Ratio): Typically < 1.2:1
Indicates the level of impedance mismatch. A VSWR of less than 1.2:1 reflects excellent impedance matching and minimal signal reflection.
Body Material: Typically aluminum or stainless steel
Provides durability and effective thermal management to handle the power rating and maintain performance.
Thermal Management: Basic heat dissipation features
Designed to manage the heat generated by 5 watts of RF power, often including simple cooling mechanisms or heat sinks.
Dimensions: Varies by model
Generally compact, with dimensions usually 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 various test setups.
Connector Finish: Usually gold-plated or nickel-plated
Ensures good electrical conductivity and resistance to corrosion, contributing to reliable performance.
Usage
Moderate-Power Testing: Suitable for testing RF equipment operating up to 5 watts. Ideal for use in laboratory settings, field testing, and other scenarios involving moderate power levels.
Calibration: Useful for calibrating RF systems to ensure accurate performance at moderate power levels.
Maintenance: Assists in diagnosing and troubleshooting RF systems to ensure they function correctly.
Notes
Power Handling: Ensure that the dummy load is used within its 5-watt power rating to avoid overheating and potential damage.
Cooling: For 5 watts, cooling requirements are minimal but ensure adequate ventilation to maintain optimal operating conditions.
Connector Compatibility: Verify that the N male connector is compatible with your equipment or use appropriate adapters if needed.
