Medium Power Coaxial Terminations
Spectrum Control’s ultra-low VSWR (1.1:1) coaxial terminators deliver industry-leading performance up to 40 GHz. These RF terminations handle 10-100 watts and operate across standard MIL temperature ranges from -65°C to +125°C. Designed for rugged, high-performance applications, they offer exceptional reflection performance and VSWR, with hundreds of models available. Spectrum Control’s 50-ohm RF loads rank among the highest-performing terminators in the industry.
To perform effectively, a 50-ohm terminator must provide repeatable performance, flat frequency response, and wideband stability across the entire band. Low VSWR (1.1:1) is critical, ensuring a reflection-free match that absorbs RF energy without reflecting it back into the signal path. Poor VSWR performance from other manufacturers’ designs can distort waveform amplitude and introduce unintended phase shifts.
These reflections can create standing waves, potentially stressing upstream components or causing power to fold back into the system. Reflected power is not simply absorbed, it can push devices such as amplifiers beyond their intended operating limits. Spectrum Control’s low VSWR (1.1:1) terminations help maintain phase linearity and spectral purity, supporting frequencies up to 40 GHz for high-performance applications. Maintaining consistent VSWR across frequency is essential for distortion-free operation, as unexpected reflections can reshape signals and degrade overall system performance.
