Dummy Load
The QRPkits.com 10 Watt (DC-150MHz) 50 Ohm Dummy Load/Power Meter kit is available as either a through hole, or SMT (Surface Mount Technology) version.
In addition to the dummy load, each version has an on board Schottky diode that rectifies the RF voltage and provides a peak detected output.
With the use of an inexpensive 11 Megohm digital voltmeter, it will provide accurate power measurements from about 0.5 watts to 10.0 watts.
You chose which version best suits your needs. The through hole option can be assembled with common soldering tools and techniques, and the SMT alternative is good training kit for anyone wanting to gain some experience using simple SMT techniques with 1206 size components.
Both versions of the kit include all the necessary components, connectors and a circuit board.
Total assembly time ~1 hour.
