Low Power Terminations & Loads

Mi-Wave’s 580 Series Terminations are designed with standard waveguide flanges for use from 5 to 500 GHz. Each unit consists of a short length of waveguide and an integral matched terminal load. Individual resistive dielectric loads are tapered to precise wedge configurations for maximum effective energy absorption. The gradual taper provides a low VSWR over the full waveguide bandwidth.

Sub-THz & Terahertz Components for Test & Measurement

Mi-Wave’s Series 580 Low Power Terminations extend up to WR-2.2 waveguide sizing, covering 325–500 GHz — a range widely used in sub-THz and terahertz test and measurement systems. Terminations and loads are a standard, essential component in THz VNA calibration and spectroscopy setups, providing the precisely matched load reference these systems require. Whether you’re building a terahertz imaging rig, a spectroscopy bench, or a radio astronomy front end, Mi-Wave’s sub-THz components deliver the low VSWR performance needed across the full waveguide bandwidth.
