Anyone who has to reduce the amplitudes of RF signals in a controlled manner needs an attenuator. Linearly adjustable attenuation networks using special PIN diodes are available for this, but they ...

In the RF world, attenuators are a useful test and measurement tool. Variable units that can apply different levels of attenuation in discrete steps are even better. [DuWayne] made a 63 dB step ...

Electronic Design has a design idea for using video multiplexers to create an attenuator, or digital pot. When I had to design a high-frequency attenuator for an automotives diagnostic tool, I had ...

[Kerry Wong] comes across the coolest hardware, and always manages to do something interesting with it. His widget du jour is an old demo board for a digital RF attenuator chip, which can pad a signal ...

These advanced attenuators are intended to optimise RF signal control in a wide range of applications. Designed to meet the demands of modern RF systems, the RF fixed attenuators offer improved levels ...

Fairview Microwave has announced the release of its RF fixed attenuators with 2.4mm connectors, providing high power ratings of up to 5W (CW) and a frequency range of up to 50 GHz. The RF fixed ...

Promising a high level of accuracy, the Model 794M, a calibrated 0 to 40 dB variable attenuator, provides a flat frequency response from 4 GHz to 8 GHz and a direct readout. Attenuation accuracy is ±2 ...

Pasternack has launched a new line of 10-, 25-, 50-, and 100-W RF attenuators with operating frequencies of up to 18 GHz, depending on the configuration. The company provides 31 high-power, fixed ...

Smiths has launched its AT Series of RF chip attenuators from DC to 20 GHz. The AT Series is available in various styles from DC-6 GHz for lower frequency requirements up to DC-20 GHz for the ...
