Power Rating: 50 W (50 watts)
The maximum continuous power the dummy load can handle without overheating. This allows for high-power testing and calibration.
Connector Type: DIN Male
The DIN connector is a high-quality, threaded coaxial RF connector known for its reliability and performance at high frequencies. Commonly used in various RF and microwave applications.
Frequency Range: Up to 3 GHz
Effective for use within this frequency range, ensuring accurate performance and 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 heat dissipation. The material choice helps handle the high power levels and maintain thermal performance.
Thermal Management: Includes advanced cooling features
Designed to manage heat dissipation efficiently, often with built-in heat sinks or similar features to prevent overheating during operation.
Dimensions: Varies by model
Typically larger than lower-power dummy loads, with dimensions around 4 to 6 inches in length and 1 to 2 inches in diameter.
Weight: Heavier, typically 1 to 3 pounds
Reflects the increased size and power handling capacity.
Connector Finish: Usually gold-plated or nickel-plated
Ensures good electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance.
Usage
High-Power Testing: Suitable for testing RF equipment that operates up to 50 watts. Ideal for use in laboratory and field environments where high power levels are involved.
Calibration: Useful for calibrating and aligning RF systems, ensuring accurate performance under high power conditions.
Maintenance: Helps in diagnosing and troubleshooting high-power RF systems, ensuring they function correctly.
Notes
Power Handling: Ensure the dummy load is used within its rated power of 50 watts to avoid damage. Excessive power can lead to overheating and potential failure.
Cooling: Given the high power rating, adequate cooling and ventilation are crucial during operation to maintain performance and prevent overheating.
Connector Compatibility: Verify that the DIN male connector matches your equipment or use appropriate adapters if necessary.
