5o21203N 2W 3GHz Coaxial Termination
Coaxial Termination is a fundamental passive component in RF (Radio F
Coaxial Termination is a fundamental passive component in RF (Radio Frequency) and microwave systems. Its primary purpose is to absorb and dissipate RF energy without causing any signal reflection.
Think of it as a “dummy load” or an “electrical shock absorber” for coaxial cables. In simple terms, it is a perfect, matched resistor at the end of a transmission line.
Key Specifications
1.3GHz (Frequency Range):
oThis indicates that the termination is designed to operate effectively up to a frequency of 3 Gigahertz.
oWithin this range, it maintains a near-perfect 50-ohm impedance (the standard for most RF systems). This is measured by its Very Low Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR), typically 1.2 or better. A low VSWR means almost all incoming RF power is absorbed, with minimal power reflected back towards the source.
2.2W (Power Rating):
oThis is the average power handling capability. It means the termination can safely and continuously dissipate 2 Watts of RF power as heat without being damaged or significantly changing its performance.
