The heart of a LossyLine Filter is the dissipative element. This element embodies a high temperature resisting (175˚C) epoxy resin, optimized as a magnetic lossy core, molded around the conductor, and case shielded, Hence, a true magnetic trap that absorbs rather than rejects or reflects unwanted energy. No oil is required to
cool since there is a minimum heating effect, Practically no reactive current is present because there is little, if any, shunt capacity. LossyLine attenuates 100dB minimum, or beyond of standard instrumentation,
from 100 KHz up to 100 GHz and attenuation does not fall off with current. The level of RF attenuation at full load currents is maintained because of freedom from saturation. The electrical characteristics of LossyLine suppress sine waves per MIL-STD-220A, and cause the collapse of transient spikes of all kinds, particularly those with short rise times. These spikes are not reflected or transferred to other conductors, but are dissipated as heat within the lossy element (no ringing effect)
