25.3.3.5. Dummy Load (80-007401)
When a combiner system is used to split or combine RF signals, in many cases it is most cost
effective to use a standard stock item 4, 6 or 8 port device where, in fact, only a 3 or 6 port device is
needed. In this case seven of the outputs from the Four Way Splitter/Combiner (05-003302) have
their ports terminated with Dummy Load (80-007401) in order to preserve the correct impedance of
the devices over the specified frequency range. This also has the advantage of allowing future
expansion capability should extra channels or other functions become necessary.
