Precision Low Power Termination

​​Dolph Microwave Precision Low Power Termination​​ delivers ultra-low VSWR (≤1.05) across 0.84–40 GHz, ideal for radar, satellite, and 5G systems. Built with 6061 aluminum bodies, copper-plated flanges, and precision conical load elements, it ensures minimal reflection and IP65-rated durability. Customizable with Surtec corrosion protection and flat/grooved flanges (WRD840-WRD180), this termination guarantees reliability in harsh environments.

Choose the Correct WRD Load

Match the complete frequency band, WRD size, CW power and exact flange code to one published model. If the mating interface or envelope differs, send the drawing before ordering.

All Dolph-MW models include Surtec/corrosion protection treatment and are painted flat black. Flanges are unplated, polished and Surtec. Other finishes and paint colors are available upon request.

The low-power termination family uses precision conical load elements. For a mating-interface check, send the flange drawing or use Dolph’s Waveguide Flange Size Guide.

Send Mating-Flange Drawing

Built and Checked in Dolph’s Xi’an Factory

Dolph lists CNC machining and turning, waveguide forming and bending, soldering and brazing, electrolytic/electroless plating and electroforming among its manufacturing capabilities. Its published RF measurement capability reaches 100 GHz.

What to Send for a Firm Model Check

The published table covers CW power. Add pulse data whenever the load will see pulsed operation.

Operating band

Minimum and maximum frequency, not only the center frequency.

WRD and flange

WRD size plus the complete cover or grooved flange designation.

Power condition

CW average power; add peak power, pulse width and duty cycle when applicable.

Available envelope

Maximum length, mounting limits and mating-part dimensions.

Material and finish

Confirm Al/Cu requirement and any finish that differs from the published configuration.

Quantity and documents

Order quantity plus required drawing, dimensional or RF test records.

Manufacturing and Verification Support

Dolph’s current site lists waveguide manufacturing since 2001, RF measurement up to 100 GHz and a one-year product warranty against defective material and workmanship from delivery, subject to the published warranty terms.

Order documentation

Define the required dimensional, RF or inspection records in the RFQ so the deliverables are confirmed before production.

If This Series Is Not the Right Fit

Use the load family that matches the required power, size and interface instead of applying this 5–10 W data outside its published range.

Send the Specs Needed for Quotation

Send the full operating band, WRD size, flange code, CW and pulse conditions, envelope limit, material/finish requirement, quantity and required inspection records. Dolph can confirm the closest published model or review a modified interface.
