If the scope is Hi-Z, DO NOT terminate the coupler internally. Instead, use a BNC Tee and terminate at the scope input with a 50 ohm termination. Otherwise, the feedline to the scope will provide a reactive load to the coupler port.

Hi All:

I am not sure I understand the procedure for terminating the sampling ports.
If a port is unused it says to terminate it into the internal 50 ohm load to
maintain balance. This makes sense. But if I connect a port (or ports)
through a short piece of 50 ohm coax to a scope which has a high impedance
input, is this port properly terminated?

Thanks,
