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 ...

While it might seem counterintuitive on the surface, there are a number of cases where dumping a large amount of energy into a resistor simply to turn it into heat is necessary to the operation of a ...

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 ...

This project is made out of few junkbox parts and builds a useful constant current load for switch mode power supply, battery testing, and other applications. A dummy load is traditionally a big ...

I'd like to ask if it's safe to use a PSU to just power CCTV Cameras and recorder (which uses 12v) without using a computer. (are there things i should watch out if i do this like using dummy loads ...
