Product Description
Pasternack PE6824 WR-90 Waveguide Load – 90W High Power Termination for X-Band Applications
This used Pasternack PE6824 is a high-power WR-90 waveguide load (termination) designed to absorb RF energy in the X-band frequency range (8.2 GHz to 12.4 GHz) . It is typically used to terminate unused ports in waveguide systems, providing a matched 50-ohm load to prevent signal reflections .
The unit features a maximum input power rating of 90 Watts and a maximum VSWR of 1.07:1, ensuring excellent impedance matching and low reflected power . The aluminum body provides lightweight yet durable construction for demanding laboratory and industrial environments.
Condition Note: This unit is untested and sold as-is. No waveguide hardware is included unless specified.
