Introduction
Bird 8860 Series Semiconductor Loads are portable 50 ohm coaxial
RF transmission line terminations. They are designed for frequency
ranges of dc – 28 MHz, specially calibrated for greater stability at
13.56 MHz. They provide accurate, dependable, and low reflection
line terminations. Up to 1000 watts of RF power can be dissipated.
The load has a coolant chamber surrounded by radiator fins. The
front and rear fins form mounting flanges which can be used as
supports for freestanding use or as brackets for fixed mounting. A
vent plug at the top of the unit relieves internal pressure from coolant
expansion. The load’s simple and rugged design minimizes
maintenance requirements.
