Why is a dummy load used during transmitter testing?

  • A.It provides the antenna's reactive component
  • B.It absorbs the output without radiating it
  • C.It increases the measured output power
  • D.It replaces the modulator during audio tests

Answer: B

A dummy load presents the correct resistive impedance and turns the output into heat instead of radiation, so a transmitter can be tuned and measured without interfering with other users or breaching its licence. It does not increase the power measured; if anything a good load makes the measurement honest. It replaces the antenna rather than the modulator. And it is deliberately resistive, with no reactive part. Testing into a known load is what makes transmitter measurements repeatable.
