The 8031B6 is a male 3.5mm precision fixed termination designed for use in RF systems requiring low VSWR. It operates from DC to 2.0 GHz with a VSWR of 1.02, from 2.0 to 18.0 GHz with a VSWR of 1.045, and from 18.0 to 26.5 GHz with a VSWR of 1.085. It handles 0.5 watt CW and 0.25 kW peak power. The termination is physically compatible with 3.5mm connectors and is intended for calibration and measurement applications where impedance matching is critical.
A precision fixed termination (or load) consists of an immovable, (fixed) termination which, when mated to the end of a trans-mission line or cable, absorbs nearly all of the signal energy traveling toward it. An ideal “matched” condition exists when a termination with an impedance value of Z0, is connected to the end of a transmission line or cable that also has a characteristic impedance of Z0. Such an ideal “matched” condition (one with no mismatch between the termination and its mated line or cable) is critical if a voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of 1.0:1 is to be achieved in a system with a 50 or 75 ohm impedance value. Simply put, the more closely the 1.0:1 ratio is approached, the more accurate the measurements that can be made from a system.
