Power Rating: 50 W (50 watts)
The maximum continuous power the dummy load can handle without overheating or damage. This high power rating makes it suitable for demanding testing environments.
Connector Type: N Male
The N connector is a threaded, coaxial RF connector known for its robust performance and reliability at higher frequencies. It is commonly used in RF and microwave applications.
Frequency Range: Up to 3 GHz
Effective for use within this frequency range, ensuring reliable performance and impedance characteristics up to 3 gigahertz.
Impedance: 50 ohms
Standard impedance for most RF systems, ensuring proper load matching with typical RF 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 excellent impedance matching and minimal signal reflection.
Body Material: Typically aluminum or stainless steel
Provides durability and effective thermal management, essential for handling high power levels.
Thermal Management: Includes advanced heat dissipation features
Designed with features such as heat sinks or other cooling mechanisms to handle the heat generated by high power levels.
Dimensions: Varies by model
Generally larger than lower-power dummy loads, with dimensions often 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 capabilities of the dummy load.
Connector Finish: Usually gold-plated or nickel-plated
Ensures good electrical conductivity and resistance to corrosion, providing reliable performance.
Usage
High-Power Testing: Ideal for testing RF equipment that operates at up to 50 watts. Suitable for laboratory environments, field testing, and applications requiring high power handling.
Calibration: Useful for calibrating RF systems to ensure accurate performance under high power conditions.
Maintenance: Helps diagnose and troubleshoot RF systems, ensuring they function correctly under high power.
Notes
Power Handling: Ensure that the dummy load is used within its rated power of 50 watts to avoid overheating or damage.
Cooling: Adequate ventilation and cooling are important to maintain performance and prevent overheating during prolonged use.
Connector Compatibility: Confirm that the N male connector is compatible with your equipment or use appropriate adapters if needed.
