If I have a microstrip line with characteristic impedance of Z0 = 50Ω, how do I terminate it with 50Ω to ground? In the literature it's always assumed load exists but how do I implement it, ideally with non-radiating microstrip/vias. Would putting 50Ω RF resistor work too? Resistor would add extra cost so I'd like to avoid it.
