SMA Termination
–
50 ohm dummy load
Using SMA termination or Dummy Load is suggested for protection of the
SMA port of your RF Explorer when the device is exposed to unwanted
high radiation or strong electronic fields.
For instance, if you carry on your RF Explorer that is exposed to an X-Ray
scanner in the airport, you should remove the SMA antenna and plug a
protection 50 ohm SMA termination.
SMA termination are also required when using Signal Generator while not
connected to an antenna; in this way the generator sees a correct load to avoid damage.
