Waveguide Termination
A waveguide termination is a device used to absorb microwave energy in a waveguide system. It prevents the reflection of signals, ensuring that the waveguide operates effectively by terminating the line with its characteristic impedance. This component is crucial for maintaining signal integrity and system performance.
