i am looking for an accurate load for testing/calibrating my analyser,
commercial loads are way too expensive to warrant buying one for a mickeymouse analyser so i thought i would make one that has got to be better than the many cheap 50 ohm bnc terminators i have,
im still on the hunt for a none inductive 0.1% 50r resistor to carefully solder into a bnc plug,
heres a possible candidate that i may try if its suitable for hf,

seems to me that if i keep the leads as short as possible and the resistor central in the plug or one of the larger terminator plugs i have it would do the job good enough for a cheap analyser,
what do you guys think?
any tips tricks i need to know?
thanks.
