The N301 is a precision fixed termination for waveguide applications, operating from 15.00 to 22.00 GHz with a VSWR of 1.025. It uses a MPF51 flange and has a maximum power rating of 0.5 watt continuous wave and 0.2 kW peak. The unit is 3.1 inches (7.9 cm) in length and is designed for full band one-port and two-port isolation calibration in laboratory settings.
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.
