Description
Overview
The Bird 8726 is a compact, water-cooled RF termination designed for high-power transmitter and transmission line systems. It converts RF power into heat, which is directly absorbed by water flowing through the load, enabling efficient dissipation without generating ambient heat. The unit can be installed in any position and requires only a potable water source.
Key Features
- 5 kW continuous power rating
- 50-ohm impedance with low VSWR (1.10 max DC–500 MHz, 1.25 max 500–2000 MHz)
- LC female (QC) connector, interchangeable with SC, 7/8, and 1-5/8 EIA flange connectors
- Compact design with minimal footprint and flexible installation options
- Requires 1 GPM (3.8 liters/minute) water flow rate
- 3/4 inch male hose thread water connection
Applications
- RF power dissipation in high-power transmitter systems
- Transmission line testing and measurement
- Broadband RF load for 0 to 2 GHz operation
