Like most engineers, I have used dummy loads spanning DC through RF, and from a few watts to hundreds of watts. Most of these loads were built up from basic resistors, and in some cases special ...

Figured this was the best place to put it.<BR><BR>I'm making 50 ohm RF dummy load with resistors. So I'm using 0.5W metal film resistors in parallel, a fair few of them.<BR><BR>I have 49.9 ohms ...

As anyone who is a veteran of many RF projects will tell you, long component leads can be your undoing. Extra stray capacitances, inductances, and couplings can change the properties of your design to ...

Kintronic Laboratories doesn’t mind that dummy loads have long been the butt of engineer jokes. They’ll keep developing new ones. For the 2011 NAB Show, two new ones will be in the Kintronic booth.

I sold low-power FM transmitters in a former job, and one of the things I learned is that most customers lacked a suitable dummy load for testing. In new LPFM or translator applications, you can save ...

February 18, 2014. Pasternack Enterprises Inc., a manufacturer and global supplier of RF and microwave products, has released all new lines of medium and high power RF loads. These new RF loads (also ...

As part of a power electronics design project involving a 3.6-V dc-dc converter, it became necessary to test and accurately characterize the planar transformer shown in Fig. 1. Transformer operating ...
