Abstract :
Coaxial transmission line and waveguide terminations are described which employ a double-slug transformer and a lossy dielectric load to provide an impedance match. Electromagnetic waves reflected from the load are canceled out by adjusting the positions of the two dielectric transformer slugs relative to the load, by means of bakelite rods which extend axially through the end of the termination. The terminations can be matched over wide frequency ranges; they are simple in operation and construction, having no critical dimensions.
