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 ...

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 ...

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.

Bird’s Popular Wattmeter Is 50 Among the most valuable tools in any RF toolbox is the Bird Model 43 Thruline Wattmeter. Take it from a man who has fried endless number of IF transformers, transistors ...
