If you work on RF circuits–even if you aren’t a ham radio operator–you ought to have a dummy load. A dummy load is a non-radiative “antenna” with known impedance that you can use to test your RF ...

As part of a power electronics design project involving a 3.6-V dc-dc converter, it became necessary to test and accurately characterize the planar transformer shown in Fig. 1. Transformer operating ...

The sound produced by any given electric guitar is shaped not just by the instrument itself but by the amplifiers chosen to make that sound audible. Plenty of musicians swear by the warm sound of ...

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.
