WR-19 Medium Power Termination
The WR-19 Medium Power Termination is a broadband matched load with moderate power handling for production testing and system integration operating within the 40 GHz - 60 GHz frequency range, commonly associated with the U-Band.
Built with an enhanced absorptive element and improved thermal mass, this termination handles sustained moderate power levels beyond what low power models can accommodate. Ideal for production test environments, system integration, and field-deployed applications where reliable power absorption is needed without the bulk of high power models.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a medium power waveguide termination?+
A medium power waveguide termination is a broadband matched load with enhanced absorptive capacity that bridges the gap between compact low power loads and heavy-duty high power models. It is designed for production testing, system integration, and field deployment where moderate RF power levels need to be safely absorbed.
How does medium power differ from low and high power terminations?+
Medium power terminations offer a larger absorptive element and improved thermal mass compared to low power models, allowing sustained operation at moderate power levels. They maintain a compact form factor compared to high power models, which feature cooling fins and heatsink construction for maximum power dissipation.
What materials are used in RF Essentials WR-19 terminations?+
RF Essentials WR-19 terminations are manufactured from oxygen-free high-conductivity (OFHC) copper for the waveguide body with precision-machined brass UG-383/U-M flanges. All surfaces receive gold plating for superior corrosion resistance and consistent electrical performance over the full U-Band operating range.
