About RF Terminators
Bel Fuse RF Terminators
RF terminators are devices used to absorb radio frequency (RF) signal energy at the end of a transmission line, preventing reflection of the signal back to its source. The purpose of using a RF terminator is to improve the performance of an RF system by ensuring that the outgoing signals are properly matched to the impedance of the transmission line. This eliminates the unwanted effects of any reflected signals, such as creating standing waves and spectrum leakage. A RF terminator also helps prevent interference from other transmission lines in the system.
