Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
163 words
A stripline terminator comprising a brass block having a hole therein; a resistor having first and second leads inserted into said hole; said first lead being connected to said metal block; said second lead being adapted for connection to a stripline; said stripline containing two ground planes and a center conductor; said metal block fitting between said two ground planes and making contact therewith; said second lead of said resistor making contact with said center conductor; said hole in said block not extending all the way through; a further smaller hole extending all the way through so as to allow said first lead of the resistor to extend therethrough; said first lead extending through said smaller hole and being soldered to the outside of the brass block; said second lead of the resistor being flattened so as to make contact with said center conductor; and said hole being of such a size that the terminator will be an impedance match to the stripline.
