Abstract
A termination block for connecting a first signal device and a second signal device. The termination block includes a housing, first and second connectors, and an electrical circuit having passive elements that connect the first and second connectors and provide impedance matching.
Claims40
A circuit block for coupling signal devices for characterization of signals associated with the devices, the circuit block comprising:
- a housing forming a cavity therein;
- an input connector extending through the housing into the cavity and configured to be coupled to a first signal device;
- an output connector extending through the housing into the cavity and configured to be coupled to a second signal device configured to characterize signals associated with the first signal device;
- and
- an electrical circuit fixedly secured to the housing in the cavity and connected between the input connector and the output connector and configured to provide impedance matching between the first signal device and the second signal device, such that the second signal device can properly characterize signals associated with the first signal device.
