Integrated Fine Matchers Added to ERI CL Series Liquid Cooled UHF RF Loads

Chandler, Indiana – April 1, 2019 – Electronics Research, Inc. introduced its new CL Series liquid cooled RF loads at NABSHOW2018. New for this year is the addition of a new model, which adds an integrated UHF Fine Matcher for all sizes available for this product family. These models also include an integrated adjustable directional coupler at the load input as well.
