What Are High Power RF Terminations Used For?
A valuable tool for terminating any unused port or signal chain that may produce more energy than can be safely handled within the system is a high-power RF termination. RF terminations are used to absorb unwanted RF signal energy and convert that energy into heat. A key aspect of high-power RF terminations is the ability to absorb the energy directed to them with minimal reflections. With the...
Use Case Discussion For 50 GHz High Power RF Fixed Attenuators (2.4 mm Coaxial Connectors)
As the concerns for spectrum cluttering persist in the sub-6 GHz frequency range, there is a greater demand for new applications and stifled applications to shift toward higher frequencies. The most accessible frequencies for many applications beyond 6 GHz are between 20 GHz and 50 GHz. This is due to spectrum assignments for military radar/sensing and satellite communications between 8 GHz and...
