What are RF & Microwave Resistors?
RF & Microwave Resistors are devices that introduce an opposition to the flow of RF signals. They can be mounted to heat sinks to improve heat dissipation. RF/Microwave resistors are made of substrate materials like Alumina, ALN, BeO, Tantalum Nitrate and CVD. These resistors are usually manufactured in thick/thin film process and are available in various package types like chip, surface mount, flanged, through-hole etc.
Important parameters for RF & Microwave Resistors:
- Resistance: It is the measure of the opposition to the RF signal provided by an RF/Microwave resistor. It is measured in Ohm.
- Operating Frequency: It is the range of operating frequencies over which an RF/microwave resistor functions.
- Technology: It is the type of process used in the manufacture of RF/Microwave resistors. These resistors are usually made using Thick/Thin film processes.
- Power Rating: It is the maximum value of RF input power that can be handled by an RF/Microwave resistor. It is usually expressed in dBm or Watt.
