Waveguide Termination Loads up to 500 GHz
Waveguide termination loads are essential components in RF and millimeter-wave systems, absorbing unwanted signals and preventing reflections that could degrade performance. These termination solutions cover waveguide bands from WR2300 down to WR3, extending to 500 GHz for millimeter-wave and sub-terahertz applications.
Multiple power-handling configurations enable engineers to select the optimal solution for measurement, test, and high-power RF applications across diverse frequency ranges.
