RF Coaxial Surge Protector and Lightning Arrestor Types
One of the leading causes of electronic equipment failure is from transient overvoltage. This is especially true for communication and wireless equipment which are at the same time both very susceptible to transient over voltages and exposure to a wide range of man-made and naturally occurring transient events. To protect sensitive RF/microwave electronics from any variety of external transients...
All About Impedance Matching Pads
In cases where it may be necessary to connect 50 Ohm and 75 Ohm systems, there are a few methods to ensure impedance matching between these two impedance standards. The easiest and most cost effective, and smallest footprint, in most cases, is to use impedance matching pads based on resistive circuits. Resistive impedance matching pads allow for inline impedance matching between 50 Ohm and 75...
