1 dB Fixed Attenuator

Service Description

End Product + Design Documents + Production Documents

Fixed attenuators are essential components in RF and microwave systems, designed to reduce signal amplitude by a precise amount. These passive devices, often referred to as RF pads, serve multiple functions—such as protecting sensitive measurement equipment, preventing overload in receivers and amplifiers, improving power meter performance, and helping to match impedance by minimizing VSWR between connected components.

Available in a wide range of attenuation values, frequency bands, and power ratings, fixed coaxial attenuators are among the most commonly used RF components. One example is a 1 dB fixed attenuator rated for 1 Watt of power and operating across a frequency range from DC to 2 GHz. This unit features a coaxial design with BNC male to BNC female connectors and meets both REACH and RoHS compliance standards.

These attenuators offer reliable performance in a variety of environments, making them ideal for lab testing, communications systems, and general RF signal management.
